    DirecTV announced that on February 17th it will be adding TNT HD to it's HD package, which currently costs $10.99 per month and features ESPN and ESPN2 HD, Discovery HD Theater, HDNet and HDNet Movies, and Universal HD. Even better, I've confirmed with DirecTV that TNT HD will be broadcast using MPEG2 compression, so consumers with current triple-LNB oval dishes and MPEG2 HD receivers can receive it without upgrading to the newfangled MPEG4 compatible equipment.

    I use comcast now in Dallas ($10/mo ???) and we get UHD, ESPNHD, TNTHD, Discovery HD and INHD 1&2...Of course there is HBOHD & SHOHD...Pretty similar, but no ESPN2HD...I'm waiting for a good deal on DirecTv to make the switch as comcast sucks...
