this is very cool....but we still won't get uncompressed audio, but at least
when they show Star Wars/or something else not on blu yet on HBOHD we might get to see it in 1080p

TooBlu · 07-28-2008, 07:29 PM

I know... but we cant have our cake and eat it too damn it...lol
Thats prob the next step

Just cancelled Directv because their HD-DVR sucked and went with Dish. Oh well... 1080p is ultimately why I got blu-ray anyway...

Dish has no HD selection next to Directv and no access to Sunday Ticket....therefore is inferior IMO

TooBlu · 07-28-2008, 07:33 PM

I know man, my stuip Apartment people made me take down my DTV dish because they are remodling...so i take it down and get Bright House(Fl) and leave my Dish out by my door for a bit...and someone stole 2 of the responders on it...so what do i do?..stick with BH..i like there DVR..or pay more $ to DTV, they have gotten so much $ from me anyway...1080p is why we r alive right?..lol

Not to mention that i'm sure Directv will be the first to broadcast sports
in glorious 1080p........

when 1080p football games are being broadcast.......life will be good

Spell check is your friend.

i know, sorry about that ,was in a hurry...Thanks 4 the heads up[

Blu-ray Fanatic · 07-28-2008, 07:54 PM

Ahhhh shit! I think its time to switch from Dish Network to Direct TV due to the following reasons:

1. 1080p tv!
2. NFL Sunday Ticket
3. Better selection from Movies-On-Demand or PPV
4. Hopefully better deals than Time Warner or any other company.

Joon · 07-28-2008, 07:55 PM

I love DirecTV. Always have. The only reason I had them to begin with was cause of the NFL Sunday Ticket. Glad to hear all of this.

Wolfie · 07-28-2008, 08:10 PM

Where's the Travel Channel HD, Dangit!!!!

Blu-ray Fanatic · 07-28-2008, 08:24 PM

A question for those of you who currently have Direct TV, does this service carry the NFL Network as well?

Blu boy · 07-28-2008, 08:27 PM

will you need a new reciever to get 1080p movies? because there are those lights on the reciever and they don't have a 1080p light.

Hmm. I too wonder if 1080p is beyond the ability of a software upgrade.

callas01 · 07-28-2008, 08:53 PM

yes DirectTV has NFL Network

Lucy Diamond · 07-28-2008, 08:55 PM

I have cablevision

Pixelation.

Stereo.

limited programming.

Now most of the voom channels are unavailable.

xtop · 07-28-2008, 08:56 PM

its funny how excited people are for this when the 720p/1080i broadcasts we have now are compressed so much

but now that dish and direc are about even in hd, gonna be tough to pick who to go with.

bluerodent · 07-28-2008, 09:34 PM

I have Direct tv and love it but I am not happy about recently having to pay extra $5 bucks a month for a few extra HD channels, like UHD, MGD,HDNET movies. I wonder if the newly added channels will be part of the original $9.99HD access fee or another $5 or so add on like they did. Hope Directv charging additional $$ money for new channels isnt becoming a new trend
