Originally posted by TonyW79SFV I say every network should get rid of west feeds. I like east coast hours. For D* and E*, most premiums have east/west feeds, other networks are east only except for Disney Channel and Nickelodeon. Cable takes the appropriate feeds for the region's time zone. |
Originally posted by Steve S NOOOOOO! D* won't carry the West Coast feed, they're too busy adding network feeds for those too lazy to put up an antenna. Without the repeats for the West Coast on the existing channel I'll miss Smallville and most of the other good primetime stuff. |
Originally posted by NetworkTV As far as "lazy", I think it's unreasonable for you to assume everyone wants an ugly antenna on their roof. |
Originally posted by NetworkTV That's nice of you. It must give you a good feeling to know that you can get a good OTA signal. Some of us don't have that luxury. As far as "lazy", I think it's unreasonable for you to assume everyone wants an ugly antenna on their roof. Those are the customers D* is trying to attract - the ones who wouldn't think of satellite unless they could get it all through the dish. Those are also the customers who will pay for all the other HD you want to get. Stop being so shortsighted. Your ignorance is showing. |
Originally posted by ANSEK Given the very limited bandwidth available to D*, I have a major problem with D* adding HD channels that are not available to all HD subscribers. Currently more than half of D* HD lineup is not available to all subscribers. I would understand if the 7 HD channels available to all subscribers represented the universe of "national HD feeds" but, they do not. There are so many channel’s that would benefit all HD subscribers that D* has chosen to overlook in favor of catering to a fraction of their HD subscriber base. When you look at the very restrictive policy for getting these limited availability channels it makes you wonder just what percentage of D* HD subscribers have access to these 8 channels? |
