Swanni's 2008 Predictions: DIRECTV HD Vs. Cable HD
The high-def guru makes his second prediction.

For instance, Swanni was the first to say Voom's satellite TV service would fail; that Apple TV would be a bust; and that Interactive TV programs would never reach a mass audience in the United States.
"I'm not always right, but I will put my record up against anyone," Swanni says.
And now, Swanni is kicking off his forecasts for High-Definition TV in the coming year.
The video commentary below includes Swanni's third prediction -- will cable lose high-def viewers next year because of DIRECTV's new expanded HD lineup? Or, will cable be able to fight back with its own HD expansion?
