Dish Network & DIRECTV Offering More HD Channels
Last year DIRECTV added many more channels and touted they would have 100 by the end of the year (2007). I don’t know what happened with that goal, but as of now, I believe they still have 85 channels.
Dish Network is now making the push for more HD channels. DISH Network this week said it will increase its national HDTV channel count from 76 to 100 in 2008.
DISH also said it plans to add local HD channels in 65 new markets this year, bringing its HD local market total to 100.
The company’s decision to offer more high-def programming is an obvious effort to keep up with satellite rival DIRECTV.
DIRECTV has said it will expand to nearly 150 HD channels in 2008.
