Direct has added so many HD channels that the only thing left is to finish what they started - as in offering those listed in "Coming this Fall and Winter" HD channels on their website. My understanding is now that D10 up and running it could conceivably do this and the ESPNHD News channel slated for next year (see article this site) might have to wait, possibly, until the D11 is up and running. There could be some other HD channels that are listed that aren't found on the DirectvHD site area, too, for 2008 and no one knows for sure if the D11 was set for these channels. So would those unlisted HD channels add up to 101-150 National HD channels? Maybe not.
Additionally, the delay could just mean for DirectvHD subs that the location you are living in that doesn't have any HD locals available from Directv will just have to wait a bit longer: This is provided that the local HD channel provider wants to work with Directv and provide the HD signal; some have not in certain areas, for example, my location offers only 3 HD network affiliates, not the four, or even 5 (with CWHD or MyNtwkHD) locals.
