RANT: Where Are My High Def Channels?
I was unaware that such LIES were being given to me about my DirecTV subscriptions! I just found out through other sources that various channels that are NOT broadcast in real HD on DirecTV are broadcast in full honest-to-god 1080i HD on OTHER satellite providers!
For so long, I was under the impression that channels like E!, Travel Channel, G4, Fox Movie Channel, etc. were broadcasting 480p content up-converted to 1080i signals because they hadn’t switched to High Def, but I WAS WRONG. It turns out, I actually could be watching Olivia Munn on “Attack Of The Show” in real HD or watching Kim Kardashian’s fat booty on E! in HD!!! HELL, even the goddamned Lifetime Channel is broadcast in HD and DirecTV doesn’t carry it!
From the research I’ve done, channels like E! and G4 and Travel Channel (and so many others) are actually broadcast in HD on other satellite providers! Places like AT&T U-Verse and Comcast offer these channels in pristine HD yet I, as a loyal 10-year DirecTV customer, have been getting shafted in the ass with my HD channels! For example, I tuned in to the Chelsea Lately show earlier this week and saw Victoria’s Secret Supermodel Marisa Miller being interviewed. The quality on my DirecTV HD receiver was absolute SHIT but I didn’t mind. But when I saw that someone on Youtube posted an HD version of it, I flipped my fuckin’ wig! You mean I coulda seen Marisa Miller in full High Def?!? And just last night, I tuned in to the Fox Movie Channel to watch Keanu Reeves in “Speed”. The video quality was crap because I coulda seen it in crystal clear HD had I been using a different satellite provider!
Oh Christ, JUST DUNK MY HEAD IN WATER AND FUCK ME WITH A SPOON, DIRECTV!!!
