yeah this is what i was talking about…a lot of the channels are not 24/7 HD like Dish network.

Dish network \> Direct \> comcast

Direct is not to far off that 100 goal right now…i think they have close to 70 now with all the premium, local sports(FSN’s), etc…

Dish is around the same but more true HD content.
