I've modified a chart that's been floating around here for a while to include nearly all available channels, HD or not, and list what each provider has currently in HD. Total channel counts are also tallied on the lower right-hand side. The chart has been updated with the latest information from E* and D* as of last month (July 2008). It does include the new E* channels added August 1 as well.

If anyone has any updates/changes, feel free to let me know. Enjoy!

That's good stuff! Very comprehensive and easy to read and understand, nothing "fuzzy" about those numbers! :righton:

Good chart. However, MHD seems to be missing and I was under the impression MTV, VH1, and CMT weren't offering any HD content yet. Can anyone verify that?
I know that MTV and Vh1 are starting to shoot new series in HD now, but some of these aren't slated to air until the first or second quarter of 2009.

Good to know. Gives us some feel as to when the missing Viacom channels might come to Dish.

MHD has been renamed to Palladia. As far as networks broadcasting in HD: it is not the intention of this chart to display channels that are or are not actually broadcasting HD content, just whether or not the channel is offered in HD.

Great job! Looks like it will be a photo finish....

I'm sure both include (at least) 4 locals in their counts, I don't see here. Can certainly see how they all get "over 100".

The D* count includes 8 distant HD networks which were listed on their channel lineup card. E* does not include locals as none were listed on their channel lineup card.

Sorry, forgot about that rename. Two days from now ny old brain will probably have me upset when I can't find MHD on my guide....

Regarding the HD content question for the music channels, I was just seeking information. I can't imagine the various shades of color you'd have to use to represent the varying amounts of HD programming on each channel.

It's a great chart and I've already saved it. I'm actually surprised at the numbers.:)

I was surprised as well. If you exclude the sports packages and alternates, both compaines have the exact same number of HD channels.

There's a couple of channels missing from that chart that should be in the sports section: HRTV (Horse Racing TV) and TVG (Television Games), both of which are horse racing channels. Dish has both, Direct has TVG.

Neither are in HD are they? Last I looked they weren't.
