Will there be any new channels in Aug?

[Harrelson 69]

Will D* add any new channels in August? Any free previews? Any channels changing packages? I'm still waiting for them to add BET Jazz and HBO Comedy!

No....

 

[vurbano]

Fat chance IMO

I am a new member who has been reading all this speculation about D*s alleged greatness and new developments, but our local D* suppliers have no info, equipment or schedule, so I'm betting most new developments are farther off than discussion here would indicate. We are maximum channel subscribers in a top twelve market and we have received no info about any upgrades, change in service or new channels.

Of course, with D* you can sometimes just wake up and find a new channel on your menu, can't you? I think no one knows except D*, and they ain't talking. With D*, the smart money always bets later, rather than sooner, I'm thinking.

There will always be the RSN's....

I don't think anything will be announced until Spaceway 2 is up and operational.

Why are you even asking? They just added channel 238 which is a 24-hour infomercial channel. Who needs more? I think you're being a little pushy here.

On AUG 1st, I believe that NWI will be no more, not a new channel, just different programming with a new name, AL GORE (part owner) and his buddies are calling it CURRENT, I think that is the name anyway...

 

[charper1]

you are correct

current_

I heard that there would be a vietnamese shopping channel coming, but you would need 4 new sats. to get it....










j/k.

 

[Digital Rain]

Only thing D* will do AUG 1 is maybe charge more for service and give us nothing -- Ooops they already did that.

I may be one of the 3 people who watch NWI, but I do like it. After reading about Current TV, I will be removing said channel from my favorites.

Thanks for nothing Al Gore.

There is going to be at least 2 new channels added to the WorldDirect package.

3 more NWI-watchers over here.

If you read the statement at the CBC website, they've even offered to continue the NWI package for cable companies and D* -- and were told there already is enough news available. Phew!

Aside from the dumbed-down CNN, I figure on pushing for more video feeds from the Web. Gore's MTV-news channel might make money; but, I don't expect a lot of useful content being offered by do-it-yourself twerps with their digital video graduation present.

I am with you. I liked watching the news from different countries, and seeing how they view events of the day as opposed to US views. I especially like to watch the CBC broadcasts.

Thanks for nothing Al Gore.

Wow!! Mr. Internet shows up again. I found it amusing when I went to their web site and looked at their "About" page and saw the types of programing that they plan to provide. The one item that caught my eye was "Current Lies". That tells me it is going to another political channel.

Get StarChoice and stay in touch with the CBC Broadcast.

I'm one of the few others watching NWI. I've got no desire to watch Gore-Vision.
