I agree with the poster Mark, drop this waste and give us Sky News and even better, Sky Sports. In England, they have ESPN, CNN, etc. on some of their birds, so why not give us their versions?

Yet the channels are shown in order of their position on the lineup with the exception of Fox, which gets to skip to the head of the line. On the other mosaics, everything is on the up-and-up. Which prompts me to wonder why the special treatment for Fox? The obvious answer is that Murdoch's stake in DirecTV is responsible for the favoritism toward Murdoch sibling FNC.

It was like a new toy that you use at first, then it collects dust. Those mosaic channels are a waste, do we really need to watch six cable news channels at once? I would rather Directv allow me pick my own channels for a mosiac, such as watch six games at once. On the Murdoch comment- it makes no sense. CNN is channel 202 (right before the ESPNs), while Fox news is somewhere around 360 (near MSNBC and CNBC). On the other mosiacs, ESPN and Disney come first, too. I guess that means Directv has an ABC bias? I watched those mosiac channels when the first appeared on Directv. It was like a new toy that you use at first, then it collects dust.

All the mosaics except for the news mosaic. On the news mosaic, a change was made so that Murdoch sibling Fox News appears first on the grid, when in fact CNN is first on the channel lineup. There are other examples DirecTV favoring Murdoch properties. With hope, net neutrality will prevent this sort of distributor bias on content online.

I would love it if we could select an audio feed of a particular channel. Instead, if something looks interesting you have to change the channel to the one you want to hear. I don't watch the channels very often. Usually I tune in after a major news story has played out after a few hours so I can compare and contrast the time-filling done by the channels since they don't want to be first to bail out of breaking news.
