I've captured a list of all HD programming available on Directv (Updated on 10/15/07). I've included all channel numbers and listed them in numeric order so you can update your favorites and eliminate the SD versions altogether if you so choose. As Directv rolls out more HD programming I will update this list so feel free to bookmark.

If you've tuned to any of these channels and cannot receive them you might not have the proper equipment. You will need the following in order to receive the new HD channels: a 5 LNB Dish, and a new MPEG 4 box, either a HR-20 or H-20 model. Without this equipment you will not be able to receive the signal from the new bird.

I also now see the NHL Channel now listed on channel 215 as well as 13 NBA League Pass stations listed on channels 751 through 763, but still no MSG or FSNY.
