DirecTV has added another dozen channels to its satellite-delivered high-def lineup.
Bravo, Sci Fi, USA, MHD (MTV's high-def outlet), Cinemax East, Cinemax West and HBO West appeared this week. Various regions now also see their local sports channels in HD, including SportsNet New York and YES (also New England Sports Network, Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic, and Comcast SportsNet Chicago).
That makes 41 national HD channels, plus regional local sports.
DirecTV has promised 100 high-def channels by year's end.
