The Sportsman Channel coming to DirecTV, HD not far behind?

In case the likes of RFD HD and World Fishing Network HD weren't enough to keep you planted in your overalls, The Sportsman Channel is gearing up to give DirecTV viewers some of that tasty outdoor goodness. The network has just recently inked a distribution deal that will see it added to the satcaster's CHOICE XTRA package in January 2009. Best of all, we're also hearing that TSC will be developing content in HD and will transition to a high-def channel in due time -- of course, there's no telling when that will happen, but if DirecTV is serious about maintain its clout in the HD quantity department, it'll be reeling it in just as soon as it's available.

Anyword on if and when Directv will be getting G4HD and Comedy Central HD? If they could add those and raise the coffiin the HDPC-20 is in out of the ground before burying it, I will sign a lifetime contract.

DirecTV still doesn't have ESPNU in HD. I wonder why???
I would like AMC HD also.

Unless I am missing something, I have Directv but I do not have RFD in HD or World Fishing Network in HD. Isn't that what this article is implying?

Article is WRONG! There is no RFD-HD or WFN-HD on DirecTV!
