DirecTV Continues New HD Channel Binge

DirecTV today added a new crop of HD channels to its ever-expanding lineup, bringing its total to somewhere between 52 and 70, depending on how you do the counting. (In its marketing campaigns touting 70 HD channels, DirecTV counts 8 pay-per-view channels along with another 8 Distant Network Signal local channels, both of which are a bit of a stretch to count as real HD channels.)

The new high-def networks are: Bravo, Cartoon Network, Cinemax East, Cinemax West, CNBC, Food Network, Fox Business Network, Fuel TV, FX, HBO West, HGTV, MGM, MHD, Sci-Fi, Speed Channel, Starz West & USA Network.

The full HD lineup is available here.

I really wish my cable company would get on the ball and start offering more HD channels. As it is right now they are just barely holding the status quo.
