DIRECTV Not Likely to Add HDTV Soon
DIRECTV is currently running a TV commercial promoting its plan to offer up to 1,500 High-Definition TV channels. However, if you’re a current subscriber, it may be awhile before you see any additions to the DIRECTV HD lineup.
DIRECTV now carries seven national HDTV channels, in addition to high-def feeds of the major networks in selected cities. However, the satcaster is not expected to offer any new HD channels until this summer, with the possible exception of one or two. (And don’t even bet on that.)
The reason: Lack of satellite space.
