To be honest the way prices are with DirecTV I may not even switch to their HD programming due to all the crazy pricing. They should at least give the premium HD channels for free if you already subsribe to it. Why do I have to pay extra for a channel that I already pay for just to watch it in superb quality? DirecTV can kiss my A$$.

Out of curiosity, are those channels like USA, TNT, Comedy Central or are they local channels?

LOL..."Direct TV, the company of 100 empty promises"
Even if Direct TV actually meets a target date they set I will not be switching to them. They have proven time and time again that they are all about the hype and can rarely meet a deadline. DishNetwork has so far given me exactly what they have promissed.
I highly doubt D* will be able to keep their HD programming at $10. This will piss of alot of current customers.

There are two pricing methods. One is for Sat. the other is Cable, which I have.
You can either pay 20 dollars a month or whatever you pay for the HD channels, and get all of them.
Or you can pay Comcast 100 dollars a month, and not even get all of the HD channels.
Even thou I only watch A&E in HD, I have to pay for the whole package which includes standard def. A&E.
If I want to watch NFL HD. I have to buy the whole sports package which comes with NFL and NFL HD.
If I could pay 20 dollars just for the HD channels life would be GREAT.
