Washington, D.C. (September 10, 2006) -- Looking for TNT HD on DIRECTV today? Well, you can stop looking until 8 p.m. ET tonight.

The satcaster has removed TNT's high-def channel today to make room for the additional HD broadcasts of football's NFL Sunday Ticket. However, DIRECTV will return the channel to the lineup at 8 p.m. ET after the games are finished.

DIRECTV officials have acknowledged that its current satellites have little room available for additional HD networks. However, it will soon launch two new satellites to expand their high-def lineups.
