MUMBAI: DirecTV has added two high-definition (HD) sports channels to its bouquet. The addition includes the Tennis Channel HD and College Sports Television (CSTV) HD to its 87 national HD channels.

 

Tennis Channel spokesperson Eric Abner had said earlier that the HD channel will be a simulcast of the network's standard-def signal.

He also said that the Tennis Channel has been shooting original productions in HD since early this year. Starting next year, the channel will start producing live tournaments in HD.

 
DirecTV will be the sole carrier of the channel on its debut, said Abner. However, the network hopes to secure more carriage agreements in 2008.
