Will DIRECTV Add a New HD Channel?
By Swanni

Washington, D.C. (May 3, 2011) -- There is growing evidence that DIRECTV will add a new HD channel this week, most likely Shorts HD, which would be included in the satcaster's premium 'HD Extra Pack' package.

During the past week, Shorts HD has been added to DIRECTV's channel 568 in several online programming guide, such as Zap2It.com. Sometimes, a TV provider will tip its hand by including a new channel in a programming guide prior to its actual launch.

Additionally, DIRECTV-favored Internet message boards such as DBSTalk.com are filled with comments that Shorts HD is likely to be added to the DIRECTV high-def lineup.

The DIRECTV Extra Pack now includes eight channels, including HDNet Movies, Palladia and MGM. Shorts HD is dedicated to short movies, often animated.

In recent years, DIRECTV has added new HD channels on Wednesday morning. So if a new channel will be added this week, tomorrow is a likely day.
