The CES 2007 HDTV Winners – DIRECTV

The 2007 Consumer Electronics Show is officially over so it’s time once again for Swanni’s CES Winners & Losers!

Among the winners were Sharp, Apple, Warners Brothers and of course, DIRECTV.

DIRECTV –

The satcaster generated big headlines with its announcement that it will offer 100 national HDTV channels by year’s end.

Among the losers in the CES poll are TiVo and EchoStar (Dish Network).

EchoStar –

EchoStar’s Dish Network has more than HDTV channels than any other provider. But DIRECTV’s “100 HDTV Channels In 2007″ proclamation left EchoStar gasping for air. EchoStar’s announcement that it will offer free HD DVRs was all but ignored.

Clearly DIRECTV is ahead of the HDTV race when it comes to predictions for 2007.
