Before getting too excited about Directv's 100+ HD channels...

I am having lots of problems with their new HD channels. Almost random which ones I can get and which ones I can't, and at my current rate I get the new HD channels less than half of the time. And, if I'm recording something off feed #1, I can never get the new HD channels on feed #2. So much for two feeds coming in from my dish.

Did Directv not pilot and test this before rolling out? If they ran into problems, did they not try and fix them? If they didn't run into problems, what was their flawed testing methodology?

This is painful. Downright painful. Methinks when NFL season is over I'll be looking into Dish Network.
