By Swanni
The new channels are: MGM HD (channel 255); Food Network HD (231-1); National Geographic HD (276) and CNBC HD+ (355)
DIRECTV says it will offer 70 HD channels by month's end and up to 100 high-def channels by the end of the year.
The satcaster started the HD expansion in September with the addition of 21 new High-Definition channels.
EchoStar, the nation's second leading satellite service, this week claimed that it's still the HD leader with 48 national high-def channels.
However, EchoStar's list includes eight HD PPV channels.
