DIRECTV Rumor Alert

[Scott Greczkowski]

It's another SatelliteGuys Rumor Alert!

Directv has reached a deal with ESPN and will soon be adding Longhorn and Fusion will be added to Directv shortly with the channels going up in testing as soon as next Tuesday.

No launch date yet and no word on Watch ESPN.

Again this is just a rumor.

Nice.
Those will be in hd?

 

[CK SatGuy]

In this day and age, they should be required to add them in HD.

 

[Mr Tony]

very cool

Scott-

Have you heard any rumors on DirecTV being bought out by ATT lately? All is quiet on the market news.

Thanks Scott, I believe you meant to say Directv reached an agreement with Disney, as Fusion is not one of the ESPN channels?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Correct Disney. Sorry.

 

[larry55]

great news.

 

[TravelFan1]

Correct Disney. Sorry.

Thanks Scott, so fair to say no word on all Watch disney apps and sites - WatchDisney, WatchEspn, etc?

What about Ovation and Reelz that are supposedly testing in HD?

Where are the rest of our Viacom HD channels since that agreement was renew'd (was that a year or two ago?) Still waiting on MTV2, NickJR and Nicktoons HD.

Oxygen, Esquire, Sprout, Pivot, We and Fuse HD are also other adds that should be considered.

i'm sure they will after the new satellite is launched, in orbit and turned on!

When is the new satellite scheduled to be launched?

 

[raoul5788]

December. It probably won't be live until March, maybe even April.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I hear they are aiming for sooner then that.

 

[raoul5788]

That would be nice. I was going by my memory, probably faulty, of how long it took to get D12 into operation.

 

[Jimbo]

It's a crap shoot, we've got guesses anywhere from Dec to May.

Longhorn for all in basic? or in market only?
