We’ve been telling you lately about Direct TV’s goal to be the leader in HD programming by the end of the year, with a stated goal of offering 100 High-Def channels very soon, an amount that would blow away both cable and rival Dish Network.
Seems like sports fans are going to be a big beneficiary of this move. Here’s a story we saw over on the Broadcast Engineering blog. Clipped from that site:
DIRECTV is now offering the NBA TV channel in HD as part of its goal to offer 100 HD channels by the end of this year. With the addition of NBC TV HD, the direct-to-home satellite TV provider now offers 74 HD channels, including 16 sports networks.
The NBA TV HD channel will feature more than 72 games and other NBA programming in HD and will be available to subscribers on channel 601.
DIRECTV has been aggressively marketing its HD offerings to differentiate itself from cable companies that on average offer far fewer linear channels in HD.
So obviously, as I said, this is good news for sports fans and anyone who’s a Direct TV subscriber. Now get on out there and get a kick-butt HDTV so you can take advantage of it!
