If I switch from HR10 to HR20 now, will I see more HD channels?
(other than HD locals)

THANKS!

Not yet. More national HD channels will come next year with the launch of DirecTV 10 and 11, currently penciled in for around April and then June/July. I don't believe final launch dates have been publicized yet.

You can get FSN-HD on the HR20 that you can't get on the HR10-250. At least I saw it during the baseball season on a H20, so I'm assuming you can get it on the HR20 as well. that's a nifty feature that will be the kicker for me. I want my baseball in HD!

That's great for Yankees and Mets fans. However, not *ONE SINGLE* NESN broadcast was in HD last year. Since NESN broadcasts 90% of the Sox games (all in HD), I'm outta luck unless D* strikes a deal with them. Every home game was NESN, just not HD. I was not a happy HD baseball fan last year.

Hell, the MLB.TV internet broadcast is almost SD quality, and 1/2 the price of Extra Innings. Maybe I'll just go that route next year.
