If you’re lucky enough to be a Direct TV subscriber, you’re probably already familiar with Channel 101. It’s here that Direct TV offers up some pretty cool original programming — stuff you can ONLY find on Direct TV and nowhere else.
The other day the company announced a few new shows that will be coming to [...]

Okay, so by now you may be getting tired of this story. But I still think we need to keep asking why the cable companies continue — and I mean time and time again — to put their customers’ interests behind their own ego.
I just read a great story over on Tradingmarkets.com that highlights the [...]

I just read a story over at the Arizona Republic’s website that really bears some mentioning here. A lot of readers have written to me over the past few days asking what kind of HD set they should be looking at — Plasma, LCD, etc., and then of course what kind of resolution do you [...]

It should come as no surprise to anyone that many of the biggest cable operators in the country are once again going toe to toe with a major sports league and coming out on the bottom. Last year we had them nearly lose the right to broadcast baseball’s Extra Innings package, and now this year [...]

Uhh, here’s one from the so strange it must be true file.

I try and make it a point to not deal in too many absolutes on this blog — you want often hear me say things like “never,” or “can’t” or “always,” for example. But I was just thinking the other day what it would be like if Dish Network and Direct TV merged, and then [...]

Quick updated for everyone out there regarding Direct TV. As you may have heard, the Biography Channel HD will launch next week (November 28th) on Direct TV, making it the first satellite provider to showcase the new channel. Sounds like pretty cool stuff, as a lot of their new programming is going to be shot [...]

By now just about everyone knows that you can only get some of the most popular sports packages — like Direct TV NFL Sunday Ticket — on satellite TV. In fact, that package is of course only available on Direct TV. But it doesn’t stop there, and I just can’t understand what this thing is [...]

Just a real quick heads up here for all of you who may be thinking of upgrading your TV service during the holiday season. I was just reading Lou Dolinar’s entertaining and informative column over at Newsday.com and picked up a really useful piece of information.
Last year at this time both Dish Network and Direct [...]
