Dish Network, DirecTV’s chief DBS competitor, is not exactly slouching in the HD department, either. Dish plans to add more than a half-dozen additional national HD channels to its current lineup by early September.
Along with tacking on several more HD venues later this fall, the DBS firm’s HD menu in a few weeks will consist of nearly 40 HD channels, according to Dish.
