HD Beat is reporting that DirecTV will be adding TNT-HD to DirecTV on Feb 17, 2006, just in time for the NBA All Star weekend. I have been waiting patiently for this for the last 2 years, ever since I purchased my 65" HDTV and subscribed to DirecTV's HD package,which runs an extra $10.99 per month on top of the normal programming packages. After confirming it myself with DirecTV customer service a few minutes ago, I am very excited! This means NBA basketball in HD, TNT original movies in HD and much more I'm sure.
This will no doubt bolster DirecTV's current lackluster HD lineup which has been in dire need of an upgrade to warrant the extra $10.99 monthly fee. I hope this is the first of many new High Definition channels to be announced by DirecTV in the coming months.
