Phew. Talk about a whirlwind of high-def announcements this week. No sooner did DirecTV trumpet its march to
130 HD channels did DISH Network hit back with a nice round
150 figure. Cablevision tried its best to garner some attention with a boastful press release to celebrate the
big six-o, but it's clear who the two HD leaders in America are now (with Verizon
breathing down their necks in a few 'hoods). That being said, are you finally getting the itch to
throw caution to the wind and toss a dish upside your house? Are you really ready to say goodbye to those cable company
bundle discounts? And if 130 / 150 isn't enough, what milestone will the satcasters have to reach before you cave?
