DIRECTV HD Programming Keeps Getting Better

DIRECTV’s HD programming is leading the pack when it comes to high definition broadcasting. As the number of high definition television in homes increases so do the number of HD channels available through DIRECTV. Currently there are over 70 HD channels available with an expected 100+ by years end. These aren’t just your average local channels either, they also include some of the bigger channels like Spike, the NFL Network, Starz, Discovery, CNN, MTV and Animal Planet (just naming a few).

In July 2007, DIRECTV launched one of the most technologically sophisticated satellites it has ever launched. The satellite, DIRECTV 10, was deployed without complications orbiting just south of Kansas (the best position for national coverage). Next year, D11 will join D10 in orbit and add an additional 150 national HD feeds (and 1,500+ local HD feeds). It is no wonder there is such a demand for the new DIRECTV HD receivers.
