We are currently in a time of transition; new HD channels are being launched and picked up almost every week, so now would not be a good time to make any commitments to any particular service provider.]]>Oct 3rd 2007 8:45AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/Oct 3rd 2007 9:31AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/Oct 3rd 2007 9:35AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/
For example, if I want to watch USA in HD, I have to enter 242 on the remote (which takes me to USA in SD), and then hit up on the remote to get to the HD version. Can do something to make entering 242 on the remote take me directly to the HD version of the channel (it already seems to do this for my local channels.]]>Oct 3rd 2007 4:12PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/
Sadly it doesn't remove the channels from the listing search, so you still have to know what channel you're selecting if you're using the guide search.]]>Oct 3rd 2007 4:40PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/Oct 3rd 2007 9:50AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/Oct 3rd 2007 1:06PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/Oct 3rd 2007 10:20AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/Oct 3rd 2007 10:40AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/
DirecTV didn't just launch a couple of new sats so that they could be bandwidth deprived already. Wouldn't make sense.]]>Oct 3rd 2007 10:50AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/
If you mean they can apply a lower bitrate to a high-resolution (but low quality) image, then you may be right.]]>Oct 3rd 2007 12:23PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/Oct 4th 2007 4:26PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/Oct 3rd 2007 10:55AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/
Most of these channels like History and Sci-Fi have been producing original HD content for years and have been building up a strong library for this roll out. Just because you haven't seen it HD yet doesn't mean it wasn't shot and edited in HD years ago.

Personally, I watch a lot of stuff on the two HDNet networks and I'm pretty jazzed up about finally having more HD music programming and the MGM film library added so I'm sure I'll bite the bullet and pay the extra five bucks. Some of the most enjoyable programs I've watched in HD so far have been the live concerts HDNet has been showing. As long as they keep the crappy reality programming off the air (like Real World - Infinity) on MHD and stick to music, that channel could become a regular for me.

Who would have thought we'd have to wade through five or more music channels before we finally get to some actual MUSIC!!]]>Oct 4th 2007 5:00PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/Oct 3rd 2007 3:08PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/

Does anyone know when Sci-Fi will start broadcasting in HD? I checked tomorrow night's Startgate Atlantis and it does NOT say HD.

I mean if you open a new HD channel, wouldn't you fill it with HD stuff?

HGTV,Food TV, NGC HD and FX (Nip Tuck in HD!!!!!) and others will all be along in the next 5 to 18 days. I already have the -1 channels for this but it is the same feed as the SD channel.

Dear Directv, please discontinue CNN HD I dont want to see Larry King in that much detail.]]>Oct 5th 2007 4:04PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/03/directv-launches-another-11-new-hd-channels/for more Info you can write me @ directvbrandon@gmail.com
