Could This Be DIRECTV's Next HD Channel?
By Swanni

Washington, D.C. (September 14, 2012) -- Could the DIY channel be DIRECTV's next High-Definition addition?

The posters at the DIRECTV-favored message board, DBSTalk.com, seem to think so. The site is buzzing with comments that the satcaster will soon add the do-it-yourself network in high-def.

The reason for the optimism is that DBSTalk member 'Sixto,' who monitors DIRECTV signal testing, says he has discovered that the satellite service has been testing DIY HD.

Of course, DIRECTV also recently tested the high-def signal for the ION channel, but has yet to add it, even though it announced at DIRECTV.com that the channel would be added (The announcement has since been taken down.) So testing signals for a channel is not always a guarantee that a TV provider will actually add the channel.

DIY offers programs designed to help viewers involved in home improvement and other around-the-house projects.
