It would help to know what you've already taken into account as the 120.

I count 118 full-time high definition channels.

65 National Channels + 20 Full-Time RSNs + 33 Full-Time PPV HD Channels = 118

I don't count ABC/CBS/NBC/FOX/CW locals because not everyone get those thru Directv yet.

I don't count the 16 RSN alternates, nor the 9 part-time RSNs.

I don't count the 5 part-time/special event only HD channels (92-99).


THE REAL COUNT SHOULD BE 85 FULL-TIME HIGH DEFINITION CHANNELS, as PPV HDs should not count in the totals regardless of full-time or part-time status.

Counting all these out of market RSNs, along with the scads of PPVs .... all helps to inflate the total HD numbers. Technically, I guess they can say they have 130, and that they are the HD leader, etc., but playing with the numbers like that makes DirecTV look a lot like the competition that they regularly mock in their advertising.

If more national HD's come to pass, as many speculate, then all will be fine. But if today is the lions share of the HD rollout, then it's a lame one.

Yeah, but DirecTV does count them. They count the 8 national feeds - ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox - both east and west coast versions. To the OP if you want to see what they count, go to their website, under the HD section - that's where I found the list. From what I see, they count:

- National HD channels
- National network feeds
- RSNs
- PPV feeds

Now, whether that adds up to 130 or not is a different story.

Checked the website and they do count the (they shouldn't) DNS feeds.

Using Directv count, we are at 126.

65 National HD Channels + 20 Full-Time RSNs + 33 PPV HDs + 8 National DNS Channels

623 & 628 are the same channel - NESN (New England Sports Network).

And you counted the 101 Channel (T101) twice.

There should be 20 full-time RSNs.

Thanks for the reply . I don't see where I counted 101 twice. So the count is 118 since I counted 623 and 628 Thats still not 130

from sixtos link:

65 HD Networks - includes 1 shared (Versus/Golf)

20 Full-time Regional Sport Networks (RSN's)

8 HD DNS Locals: CBS/NBC/ABC/FOX East&West

33 HD PPV

TOTAL = 126
The 8 HD DNS Locals should not count very few get these channels. If count these then you should count every local market's HD channels.So the real count is 118
