DirectTV to have over 100 HD channels

[JerryDelColliano]

I am getting HOOKED on these new channels.

I have ONE HR20 setup and need more which is NO small feat.

Food Network HD is making it worth it alone. Versus (for Hockey) also helps

Biography HD (266) is live now.

I am getting more and more hooked on the HD channels on my ONLY working HR20. I have three in boxes needing installation but my installer is swamped right now.

Overall I am quite happy with the quality of the pictures & am thrilled with the quantity!!

Just caught a couple of programs on Smithsonian HD last week and couldn't agree more, absolutely fabulous! Jerry is right about the Food Channel HD, only problem is that now the missus wants to watch it in the living room rather than on her 15" SD set in the kitchen! Unfortunately (for me, at least) she doesn't have room there for an HD receiver and we just spent a small fortune completely renovating that kitchen last year.
