Re: wow! DirecTV & HD is a contradictive turn, due to who wants HDLite. As for every sporting event in HD, most is rebroadcast, and most of the HD bandwith that Direct is accounting for, will be for duplication in markets that are not being serviced with HD. This is more FUD, then anything, due to there is only so much that can be pushed by Satellite, with out the higher cost to the cosumer.
And as for Consumer Acceleration for HD, those that cannot afford the HD sets are getting SD & ED, which means that still most HD programming will not be watched. We have a friend with a 61" DLP set and they do not watch half the programming that is available in HD, due to it is not available with Dish. Most of the programming that they watch in HD is Final four and Football, and that is pretty much it. -- I threw out the map a long time ago. Now I follow my own direction! |
