I've read on this site before that Directv is simply out of space on their satellites (not a technical guru on this, other people here know more than I). The outlook seems sluggish at best for more HD programming.
I'd hope that that Directv is intuitive enough to get on the ball ASAP. Sports fans like me will not put up with this crap much longer (ie not broadcasting TNT in HD during the Western Conference Finals, big no-no!). Once the Fox Sports digital networks become more widespread, the pressure will be put on Directv to expand. The've worked for years to try to recruit the cable tv subscribers; I hope they're not stupid enough to loose them by not keeping up with the HD world.
