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.
