So, that's what those
HBO HD ads down in Latin America were all about, huh? As of this week, DirecTV is now taking orders for HD service in Latin America, and reportedly, those that sign up can receive an HD DVR capable of storing 400 hours of SD or 100 hours of high-def footage. Initially, there will only be four high-definition channels available (HBO HD, Movie City HD, Fox HD and DirecTV HD), but we suppose you've got to start somewhere. Has anyone down that way signed up? How's the image / audio quality?
[Thanks, Eduardo]

How about adding more HD in the US? What happened to that expansion I was supposed to see in September from the new satellite? All I got was Fox News HD

Don't be fooled by all the nicities they offer you but fundementally this company has issue in their service, you will regret once you joined them and be under their contract:

I know they are one of the most progressive satellite TV providers and you will be treated wonderfully before you sign up with all these promises but once it's too late for you to do anything then they turn on you. I too am gadget and tech lover, but regret that I signed up with them! I'm willing to NOT have all the DIRECT2PC, online scheduling and all their HD services (get it from other company) if I can get out of their contract and have a peace of mind.
