DirectTV to have over 100 HD channels

[TheMoose]

Well if this is Wednesday it must be time for more HD channels!
DirecTV's 3rd wave (well more like a ripple this week) of HD channels went live this morning,
FoodHD (231-1),
MGMHD (255),
NGCHD (276),
CNBCHD (355)

Kind of slim pickens this week but I'm glad to see National Geographic HD.
I hope we get Speed HD next week in time for the last F1 race of the season.

Well for the most part they look great, some of them are stretching the SD programing though, like anything some are better than others, but channels like Smithsonian HD look killer.
Overall I am quite happy with the quality of the pictures & am thrilled with the quantity!!
