The satellite provider expects to offer subscribers a total of 100 HD channels by the end of next year.
The International Space Station might get something that a lot of America is still missing out on: high-definition TV. DirecTV is offering NASA the whole setup for free, or at least in exchange for a little PR.
I can imagine that next to those giant mittens that the astronauts have to wear (how can they do anything in those things?), the number two complaint must be that they are missing “Grey’s Anatomy” in high-def.
The setup would include an HD DVR, a 42-inch flat-screen TV and a velcro-wrapped remote. No motion-activated couches are necessary, I guess.
It’s a nice gesture, assuming NASA actually goes for it—just as long as my bill doesn’t have any new ISS charges.
A bit more reasonable, DirecTV recently announced plans to offer a total of 100 HD channels by the end of 2008.
Good lord, They can’t get a decent install team and customer support base for us folks down here. What are they gonna do tell the space station that they are scheduled for install between 8 and 12.

It’s hard to imagine life without remote controls, but it’s been a long, strange path to the modern incarnation we know and love today.
At least they can be sure that someone will be home. Let’s just hope they are little better than those installing FiOS and that the space station doesn’t catch fire. Hah.
