DirecTV expanding HD channel selection

[inaz4sun]

Read between the lines on this, its just total marketing BS. It says that they "soon" will have the "potential" to have "as many as" 150 HD channels.

Soon meaning when? Within 10 years? Before the medium for delivery of television totally changes to the internet? Soon means nothing.

Potential. Well potentially we will all have flying cars. Again it means nothing.

Up to. Like you could win "up to" a million dollars, but you will actually most likely only win $10. Its marketing BS. There aren't 150 HD channels. They were once including all the locals in that number too, like there are 5 HD locals in each market x 100 markets etc... = wow we will have 500 HD channels. Total BS, you can only get 5 of those.

Never fall for hype like this and read between the lines. How many channels do they have and does their DVR actually work. Right now I believe Dish leads the pack in actual HD channels offered to date, and for any one person I think the max is in the 30s. Someday when all channels are offered in HD then maybe some technology will be able to deliver them all.
