Anyways, he said that there will be some 50 or so more HD channels coming September 1st. Hope this is true.

for all the details]]>Aug 9th 2007 8:26PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/09/directv-to-deliver-70-hd-channels-by-the-end-of-q3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/09/directv-to-deliver-70-hd-channels-by-the-end-of-q3/Aug 9th 2007 10:43PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/09/directv-to-deliver-70-hd-channels-by-the-end-of-q3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/09/directv-to-deliver-70-hd-channels-by-the-end-of-q3/"The new DirecTV boxes add an unwanted bonus, black stripes on the sides when viewing standard def channels, which may cause damage to the user's HDTV. "

First black stripes are there for a reason - that is the native picture. But one can stretch the picture with the Directv receivers to be an abomination of what the picture should be.

But the article is about HD not SD- and yes Directv has D-10 up and if you follow the forums at all - it is close to starting testing on Friday Audugst 10th. Which means if all goes well it will be online on Labor Day.

Bring it on. D-11 launch at the end of the year will give them the 100+ HD channels to be the dominate provider of HD. Only Verizon FIOS can compete. ]]>Aug 9th 2007 10:09PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/09/directv-to-deliver-70-hd-channels-by-the-end-of-q3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/09/directv-to-deliver-70-hd-channels-by-the-end-of-q3/
It's obviously me you're refering to about being "stupid" for commenting about the VOOM Network. Just for COMMENTING about the VOOM NETWORK!?

Reggie3, question:Did you take your medication the day you posted you're comments you
f***ing psycho!]]>Aug 10th 2007 8:59PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/09/directv-to-deliver-70-hd-channels-by-the-end-of-q3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/09/directv-to-deliver-70-hd-channels-by-the-end-of-q3/
Now, to the subject matter posted here. I don't care who you are or what size your HD set may be, this is exciting news. I've been receiving DTV-HD for several years now and yet we basically have the same five or six HD stations we had when I first subscribed. I've slowly gained access to my locals in HD (except for my lame ass local NBC station which for some unexplained reason isn't carried by DTV nor will they grant me an exception to receive the East Coast feed like Fox, & CBS did) but beyond that, bupkiss. Frankly, the prospect of getting between thirty and fifty additional HD channels over the course of the next two to three months makes me salivate like a BIG DOG. All at NO ADDITIONAL COST to what I'm currently paying. Heck, I ordered my BBC converters literally the second I received my email notification and I'm armed and ready at this point.

BRING IT ON!!!!!

Their practice of 1280 by 1024 as representative of 1920 by 1080 is appalling. Why buy an HD display if DirecTV is only going to send two-thirds of the signal and make up what it threw away in the first place?

Now, if someone comes forth and determines that DirecTV has stopped this practice I'll be all over it like a fan blade. :)]]>Aug 10th 2007 5:41AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/09/directv-to-deliver-70-hd-channels-by-the-end-of-q3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/09/directv-to-deliver-70-hd-channels-by-the-end-of-q3/Aug 10th 2007 1:14PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/09/directv-to-deliver-70-hd-channels-by-the-end-of-q3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/08/09/directv-to-deliver-70-hd-channels-by-the-end-of-q3/
yes, the new hd box will have to be installed on your roof. the weight is WAY too big to be on the side of your house.

my mom objected, but when i talked to her about sunday ticket she switched over.

im hoping that someone would put out an offical list of the channels that will be in hd come sept 1.

maybe one day they'll include fox soccer in hd. GO RED DEVILS
