DirecTV is offering customers 33 movies via its on-demand service in 1080p high-definition format, the so-called "full HD" standard, which the satellite TV operator claimed is more than any other service.

Dish Network -- which has boasted of being "first" to offer 1080p content -- currently lists about 20 movies in the HD format through its own on-demand service.

Blu-ray DiscBernstein ResearchBlu-ray Disc says Blu-ray players will be in approximately one percent of U.S. households at the end of this year, suggesting the high-def disc format will experience a boom over the next three years.

Point Break Bu-rayNow this is a movie worth waiting for on Blu-ray. No crazy CGI, no fake wave footage like "Perfect Storm". Just a balls out action film that should look good in widescreen.

The saying for March “in like a lion out like a lamb.” That saying should be reversed if you’re a fan of High Definition via satellite!
It appears that both Dish Network and DirecTV will turn up the heat to their HD customers by launching a handfull of new national HD channels this week.

DirecTV Group Inc., the nation's largest satellite-television provider, said second-quarter profit rose 1.6% as high-definition channels attracted new customers.

Net income climbed to $455 million, or 40 cents a share, from $448 million, or 37 cents, a year earlier, DirecTV said. Sales jumped 16% to $4.81 billion. Profit met the average analyst estimate compiled by Bloomberg.

It appears that DirecTV has launched "Crime and Investigation Network" in HD on channel 275. In order to see the new channel customers must refresh their programming from the DirecTV website and subscribe to the HD Extra package.

DIRECTV announced yesterday that it will provide eight different High-Definition angles of President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration on one screen. The inauguration, which will be held Tuesday, January 20, will be displayed on DIRECTV's interactive Mix Channel.

Somewhat lost among the salvos being launched between DirecTV and DISH Network this week was a significant expansion announces in the local HD market. Direct TV announced that they would be adding 44 additional television markets to their local HD lineup.
