Direct TV HD: NOT ThisNext just yet…

9/12/2006

No comments

I just posted my first impressions of Direct TV HD and I’m giving it my “NOTthisNEXT” tag. In other words, I can’t recommend it right now. I think people should wait, unless they don’t mind not getting their money’s worth.

It just doesn’t have the amount of programming it should for the prices they are charging for the hardware and subscriptions. If you love tech stuff and want to show off go for it, but if you’re looking to get value I’d say wait another six months when (I hear) there will be much more content available.

I wonder what HDBeat thinks?

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.
