Directv to add many more HD-TV channels?
Question:
Anyone know when this "soon" is going to be?
Answer:
In January DirecTV will be launching a new satelite that will bring HD locals to about 90% of American homes and the ability to broadcast 50 additional HD channels. Then later in 2007 another satelite will be launched that will allow them to broadcast around 150 HD channels. Basically these new satelites allow them to broadcast MPEG-4 which allows for more HD content with less space.
However, there isn't a list of which channels will be available, but I havn't even been able to find what other channels are available in HD. The only ones I know of are Food Network & National Geographic for now.
Sometime in 2007 according to the Directv Online Resource Information System which is used by Call Centre employees
