There could be some other HD channels that are listed that aren't found on the DirectvHD site area, too, for 2008 and no one knows for sure if the D11 was set for these channels.
So would those unlisted HD channels add up to 101-150 National HD channels? Maybe not.

Additionally, the delay could just mean for DirectvHD subs that the location you are living in that doesn't have any HD locals available from Directv will just have to wait a bit longer:
This is provided that the local HD channel provider wants to work with Directv and provide the HD signal; some have not in certain areas, for example, my location offers only 3 HD network affiliates, not the four, or even 5 (with CWHD or MyNtwkHD) locals.]]>Oct 17th 2007 3:13PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/17/directv-11-delayed-till-q1-2008/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/17/directv-11-delayed-till-q1-2008/
There isn't any indication that the 2nd date has changed, so we're probably looking at a very early 2008 turn-on date for the new HD channels on D11]]>Oct 17th 2007 10:14PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/17/directv-11-delayed-till-q1-2008/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/17/directv-11-delayed-till-q1-2008/Oct 17th 2007 10:15PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/17/directv-11-delayed-till-q1-2008/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/17/directv-11-delayed-till-q1-2008/
I still will point out that the link says only a 2 week delay, so that doesn't seem so bad]]>Oct 17th 2007 10:19PM
