Directv HD

[larry7995]

I had someone ask me what channels on Directv are high definition, they were upset because they had just bought a HD setup and got the HD package and most everything was still SD. I think its just 72-79 if you don't get local channels. That isn't much...
I have heard they are supposed to put two new satellites up that may help beef up the offerings in some way if the chinese don't shoot them down

Direct is promising 100 channels in 1080i within a year but you will need an MPEG 4 HD receiver to get more than about 6. Unllke dish who boght Voom and sat on its hands counting on MPEG4 and 25-30 channels of HD, Direct lofted 3 new satellites to give them the room to do 150 channels of HD.
