DirecTV continues to offer the most high-definition channels of any pay TV provider, but Verizon is catching up quickly with its FiOS TV service, according to Pike & Fischer. The firm finds that as of January 2009, DirecTV was offering as many as 104 channels in high-definition format. But that only beats Verizon's HD menu by one channel.
Comcast, the largest cable operator in the United States, has one of the smallest selections of high-definition channels, Pike & Fischer says. Comcast in some markets is offering less than 40 HDTV channels, although the company's marketing focuses on its large selection of HD movies, TV shows and other content available on demand.
Most providers examined in the study charge a premium price for HDTV service, usually less than $10 per month. But some, including Cablevision and Time Warner Cable, offer a substantial number of HD channels for free.

My complaint to DISH TV was rejected by their automated e-mail server for inappropriate language.
I am not sure if the inappropriate language is pissed, FOX or garbage!
Rejected e-mail -
DISH really knows how to piss off customers. Still waiting for my 150 HD channels. Got a FIOS flyer - They have FX and other program channels. How about a non-sports package - just entertainment - no sports, religion, shopping, fiction FOX news/business or other garbage.
I once had DIRECTV. The phone retention person hung up on me when I complained about the numerous garbage religious channels.
