I keep seeing Dish have more of the HD channels I like to watch such as BBC America HD, Lifetime Movie Channel HD, TCM HD and the above -- will DTV ever carry any of these or are some exclusive to Dish ?
Ever is a long time, so the answer is yes. I would say within one year. The Extra HD pack is a dud now . . they need to build that up with more channels.
Movies... just like Starz, HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, and the plethora of other movie channels only from what I've seen they don't have their own original content, making them completely replaceable by Netflix/RedBox.So, is Epix not a movie channel--it says Epix 1 and Epix 2--what is the content?
If people don't already have a referral from someone they know, it's only kosher to get a referral from the mods here.IF you decide to go Direct, PM me for a discount number that gets $100 off your install.
DirecTV has been in the process of cranking up 30-some HD channels over the last couple months. They still have a bit to go, but they are making forward progress. See: DIRECTV: Press Release: DIRECTV Extends Its HD lead With Over 160 HD ChannelsSince DTV changed ownership, new channels and HD has taken a dive.
Rainbow media pretty much pulled the plug on Voom, and the channels were dropped from Cablevision a few months back. A couple channels still exist in foreign markets; OasisHD, for example, is available on Shaw in Canada.Also, what ever happened to the VOOM channels that DISH lost? Are they all in Cable and not available anymore for satellite providers?

I did watch Epix on DISH. One of the reasons I switched to Directv is the Smithsonian channel. Another reason is that I now have multiple HDTV sets. One more reason is locals in HD. I could go on.I loved Epix. Only chanel I really miss.

Yup, I watched a couple of Lewis Black specials the other night & have the Black Eyed Peas on a EHDD...Actually that's not the case. They've already shown concert and comedy specials by the likes of Eddie Izzard, Lewis Black, Janeanne Garofalo, Madonna and the Black Eyed Peas. They just shot a Kevin Smith special and they have several original series in development.

DIRECTV has added just over 30 non-PPV HD channels in the last year, not the last two months. Not counting RSNs and Spanish language channels, the total drops down to less than 30 in two years.DirecTV has been in the process of cranking up 30-some HD channels over the last couple months.
