Not a good time

Thinking about DirecTV for all those High-Def channels? Think again.

Unless you live in LA or NY, you can’t get local channels in HD via DirecTV. …

They’re talking about adding dozens-to-hundreds of channels in HD format in the next year, but (drumroll please…) it’ll be in a new encryption/encoding (MPEG-4) format which won’t work with $999 HD DirecTiVos…
