DIRECTV Adds 23 More HD Channels

[KimmiKat]

Gotta remember that Dish and Direct still have more HD then cable does in most areas.

lol. D* honestly may not like me... i photocopied all the false advertising regarding MSGHD and FSNNYHD (... directv.com scrolling channel logos and ...)

Now I have this image in my brain of you holding a computer monitor face down on a photocopier...

Hmmmm, just checked and FSN Bay Area isn't in HD down here in LA. Are these new RSNs not national channels? Errr, I mean, I know they're game-only, but there was a Warriors Pistons game so ... Hmm, I wonder if it's something dumb like the SD game was the Pistons broadcast so they didn't do the HD from bay area.

I am really psyched to have FSNBA in HD go national, since we were just out of the spotbeam area before. Just wish it had come during Giants season, since I watch every game... That Warriors/Pistons game was not broadcast in HD; their first real HD broadcast is tonite @ 7, Clips @ GSW.

Awesome.
The HD listings are still very shaky though. There was a game in HD tonight that wasn't listed on the NBA-1 channels and there was one listed as in HD on the NBA-1 channels (new jersey vs orlando) that wasn't in HD. Oh well, I guess they're still working the kinks out.

I think most of us would rather watch nothing in HD instead of everything in SD.

most of the HD RSNs are showing up with TBA(to be announced) in the channel guide and I am not getting any programming on them. My local RSN is 638-1. Am I having a problem or are they not broadcasting on all of these as of this time?

the -1 RSN channels are game only channels, they'll only be on when there is a game in HD on the channel.

i'm guessing bio hd is next......although, a few more game only hd rsn's would be nice too!

Don't expect much in the HD LiL arena until the next bird launches in 2008 and goes through testing. I'd guess March-April at the earliest.
