But now, Directv's HD receivers can 'see' both an SD channel and an HD channel assigned the same channel number. Plus the receivers can be set to hide the SD channel when their is an HD version *of the channel* (not the programming). Take SNY for instance. Not all programming is HD, but the receiver receives it all on SNY-HD (625). So assigning channels for HD receivers to receive Sunday Ticket does not necessarily mean that every game will be produced in HD. Just that the receiver will get the programming on an HD capable channel. But there is certainly some good news from these channel assigments: every game will have its own dedicated channel. No longer will long running early games preempt the beginning of late games. Initially, this sounds like good news, because last year, HD games had their own special channel.

The season opener is listed for 212, when the game will appear on NBC. The Cowboys and Lions Thanksgiving matchups are also listed for 212, when they will appear on CBS and Fox. This could be an error resulting from running an automated script that selected all Thursday games and assigned them to channel 212. I would not say it is confirmation, but it does indicate that on DirecTV's end, they are capable of airing every regular season game in HD. The DirecTV schedule contains some errors.
