Currently, Dish Network seems to have the largest listing of HD channels. I was excited to get a chance to see some of the HD channels.<br><br>After a few days, I have become a little disappointed. Most of the Voom HD Network channels (especially Gameplay HD) don't seem to really show anything special. It seems to be simply un-narrated shots of either gameplay, land, and plenty of repeats (and to be honest, I think that each of these channels only have about twelve hours of content which is repeated daily). The HD movie channels are weak too (only showing poor, two-star or less movies).<br><br>DirecTV is asking for 100 HD channels... I'd rather see some quality HD channels before I see 100 of them. It would only take me a few days before I had already seen all of the content on these channels if they fail to display something that's original and something that's original on a regular basis.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[supaneko]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 10th 2007 11:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Networks respond to DirecTV's call for "100 HD channels in 2007"]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/10/networks-respond-to-directvs-call-for-100-hd-channels-in-2007/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/10/networks-respond-to-directvs-call-for-100-hd-channels-in-2007/</guid><description><![CDATA[What I want is to have more non-HD channels being broadcast in HD (if that makes sense, basically show CNN, FoxNews, etc. with little or no compression) - and then as HD segments and full shows become more popular, you will simply get more percentage of HD (vs. hi-quality standard stuff).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ken]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 10th 2007 1:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Networks respond to DirecTV's call for "100 HD channels in 2007"]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/10/networks-respond-to-directvs-call-for-100-hd-channels-in-2007/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/10/networks-respond-to-directvs-call-for-100-hd-channels-in-2007/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yeah, it'll be more of the same (500 channels and nothing to watch), only it will be a clearer picture. Give people 20-30 high-quality HD channels, and they will be thrilled. Quantity not quality is hardly a good thing. Not to knock Directv (I'm a sub), but does anyone really care about that many HD channels if they are gonna be carrying the same old dull programming (nature shows, weather, crappy films)? Doubtful. And if they don't get their HD DVR working right very soon (on firmware download #14 I type, in just 4 months), what will it matter? More HD channels to record means even more frustration for subs.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[TRS]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 10th 2007 1:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Networks respond to DirecTV's call for "100 HD channels in 2007"]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/10/networks-respond-to-directvs-call-for-100-hd-channels-in-2007/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/10/networks-respond-to-directvs-call-for-100-hd-channels-in-2007/</guid><description><![CDATA[But other VOOM channels, like Equator and Gallery regularly show stuff that is more interesting than what I get on Discovery or A&E.

Directv promised 100 HD channels 2 years ago! Where are we today? Still waiting for false promises I guess. Now they're promising 150.
