100 HD Channels in 2007

DIRECTV sent shock waves through the industry in January of 2007 when it promised 100 HD channels by the end of the calendar year. Throughout 2007, DIRECTV hit endless milestones with deploying a new satellite and countless releases of premier channels in HD. Unfortunately at years end, they were only able to produce 85 channels in high definition. 85 HD channels is still nothing to squawk at. DIRECTV is still the leader when it comes to programming options for the high end televisions. With %100 digital quality on all stations, 85 high definition channels and another year of HD releases there is no doubt that it will keep its title as the HD champion.
