With DirecTV’s DirecTV 11 satellite now up in orbit around the planet and Dish Network’s bird… Well, in a state of shock, it’s time for a little “Haha!” from DirecTV. DirecTV’s new satellite will allow them to have up to 150 nationwide HD channels and also allow more local channels provided in HD. Currently, DirecTV […]

So, while DirecTV was doing good in the eyes of some by launching another satellite successfully to add channels, they have also made an adjustment in their methods of how customers watch pay-per-view on their DVRs, one that I believe is for the worse. While DirecTV DVR owners in the past have been able to […]

So as we are just 3 days from the end of the year as of 12/28/07, DirecTV is looking like they’ll be coming up short on their promise of 100 new HD channels by the end of 2007. While 70 new HD channels isn’t bad at all, it’s still a bad move on DirecTV’s part […]
