Leon, do subscribe to the HD channels? The ones like tnthd, discoveryhd.
They're in the lower channel range. If so, is it worth it? I do the
football package in hd.

No not yet. I have no HD anything yet but I am getting ready to take the
plunge. I noticed that DirecTV now offers, "In Houston" Local HD through
Satellite vs. reg antenna HD local NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX.
Additionally the HD channel package is about the cost of a premium set of
channels like HBO and ShowTime at about the same cost. IIRC about 8 to 9
HD channels in that package not including the 4 local HD channels.
IMHO those extra premium HD channels for about $10 per month seems
reasonable.


Ok, I was trying to convince myself of it. Think I'll go ahead and do it.
Our locals broadcast primetime and sports in HD so that's no thing. I'm
going to have to check the TNT race schedule and see how many more they're
going to do. I don't do ANY of the movie channels, never home long enough to
enjoy a whole movie. About the time I get interested, the phone rings and I
got to go. Thanks I'll look into it.
