New York, NY (November 29, 2006)
-- DIRECTV will offer more than 40 High-Definition TV
channels by next summer, according to David Hill, the
satcaster's entertainment president.
In an interview with TVPredictions.com, Hill was probed
for how many high-def channels DIRECTV would provide
when its two new satellites were operational in
mid-2007.
Would it be 40?, Hill was asked.
"Oh, more than that," he said. However, Hill refused to
give a more specific number.
DIRECTV next year is scheduled to launch two satellites
designed to increase its national HDTV channel capacity
to 150. The satcaster now offers fewer than 10 national
high-def networks.
In a keynote speech at the HD World Conference and
Exposition in New York, Hill said the two satellites
would be ready in "mid-2007."
