Yup, turned it back on for me after I explained the situation. Told me next year it'll cost $99. Very good of D* to honor what they told me seven weeks ago. :thumbs

doesn't make sense. it's week six now. did you have them last weekend? same thing is happening here. i was promised the superfan package throughout the season and now my HD channels aren't showing up. currently on hold waiting to talk to someone in customer service. luckily, i wrote down the...

Oh please. Right after people mentioned it showed up on D*, they were plenty of people claiming it wasn't a real HD channel. That was on 10/3 @ 10:59 am This one came on 10/3 @ 10:23 am There's a quote "explaining" that D* probably was just upconverting the SD feed. Here's a quote from...

Oh man, the new episodes of Law and Order: CI are going to be broadcast in HD. I didn't even think about that! Great move by USA and D* in launching the channel now!

I just got home and turned on the TV and I'm blown away by USAHD. Fast and The Furious was playing and it was the desert race scene...incredible. I don't even think the baseball game I saw the other night and gave 9.5 out of 10 looked as good. This is beautiful. I can't wait until WWE starts...

I don't think I've watched anything on Bravo *ever* except for their celebrity poker show, but that's been a good year or so ago. Same goes for a few other channels, but it's one channel I could care less if D* dropped for something else.

/slow golf clap well said!

...real test for me is always trying to see the net behind home plate protecting all the ticket holders and it's very visible when the pitcher is winding up. I remember watching the WS last year on E* on Fox and while nice, I'd give it a 8.5 out of 10. This game would get a 9.5 from me. Just...

Looks even better with that 3-0 lead! :D So to answer the naysayers, HD on TBS is real and it's spectacular!

So you didn't read what you were signing/initialing? And that's the installer's fault how?

...while flipping around between NFL games and it looked like the game was in HD. Looked way better than any episodes of Seinfeld that I caught earlier last week. Tonight will be sweet.... Pats/Bengals in HD on ESPN Rockies/Padres in HD on TBS Heroes in HD on NBC Great night to have D* :D

Agreed. I was impressed that all those games were available in HD. 49ers/Seahawks looked the best in terms of PQ.

Nope, it's quite the fair comparison. You want a Big Mac (Logo) and there is a place where you can get it...McDonalds (D*). You can ask Burger King (E*) to carry the same item, but if they say no, they aren't being unreasonable if it doesn't fit into their business plan. We aren't talking about...

...good business sense for the company you subscribe to. The answer as what to do is incredibly easy...voice your displeasure with your wallet. If D* or a cable company in your area offers the channel, switch. That's what I did when I wanted Comedy Central back in the late 90s and our cable...

No it doesn't. Coming from E*, I was paying $20 a month for 8-10 good HD channels and a bunch of crap ones (Kung-Fu HD? Monsters HD?). With D*, it costs $15 a month and IMO, I'm getting better quality channels. I've got 12-15 HD channels I'll watch right now. Even more when they go live. -$5 a...

Indeed, TWC is HD. You can tell on some of their ads and the national on the 8s spots.

Where are all these "I want it all free!!!" people coming from? D* is giving away ST, $100 online rebate, $50 giftcard, free HD for 3 months and free installation and it's still not enough? Damn. Yes, D* is going to raise the HD price by $5 for all the extra channels they are adding. It'll cost...

Honestly, I wouldn't be angry either way. But, people are paying extra for NFL HD right now. To boot it off for other HD programming would be a PR nightmare.

I had E* HD before switching and honestly, I can't tell a difference. If you put them side by side, you might notice a difference one way or the other, but ultimately it comes down to your TV, IMO.

...I don't see why you would cancel within days of the service being launched. Even if it's the middle of October (and I'm not saying it will be), D* is going to have plenty of HD. More than any other provider. It sucks you were mislead, but D* has *never* promised a date other than by the end...

I'm not sure if this is true for all departments, but chances are very good that when you call D*, you are actually speaking with a CSR that is subcontracted out through a national call center. Meaning that you aren't actually speaking with a D* employee. That person you are mad at for giving...

Where did D* ever promise that the new HD channels would launch today? You guys are getting worked up over nothing. Just relax and be patient.

...to be treated with respect from the help, but just because you throw some cash at a service provider doesn't entitle you to any inside info. You drink Budweiser*. Does that mean Budweiser should inform you of whatever details you request from the company? No. *or whatever beverage fits the...

...but not upset. It's obvious from reading this forum that you can never take for gospel what one person says, whether that person is a D* or E* employee or another member here. In the years that I had E*, I was told different things by each CSR I spoke with when I had a problem. So far with...

#2 - Due to a contract with NBC and Notre Dame, D* will not present the new HD until Notre Dame wins a game. Expect your new HD sometime next fall.
