Nope, but many times, many reliable sources have said no new national HD channels will be around until the HD local rollout is mostly complete.
I would guess you're screwed for this season.

Not necessarily. Latest word is that this might come when ST ends (free MPEG2 bandwidth that never needs to be given back).
Go read Longhorns post in Spaceway 2 launch. http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=106295 It explains a lot about what is happening in the near future and TNT could be a part of that.

If it doesn't appear this season it would only be the 2nd full season. Still too long as we all agree, but I guess the same folks saying no more national HD channels until after the LIL HD upgrade are the same folks saying the same thing before ESPN2 HD came online. My guess is this will be one one the first 2-4 new channels added before the end of the year which is still too far off; 2 months into the season. It also seems to be the same people bitching to add everything YD has right now are the same people bitching that the bandwidth is so low they can't watch TV.

I won't disagree, but I sure wish ESPN2 had some value in HD. It's almost like watching "The Ocho".
dunno if this helps. i was chatting with a customer service supervisor this afternoon about my bill and mentioned how much i want to see tnt hd on directv. she forwarded my info and suggests a deluge of email requesting it. can't do any harm!!
Do you realize how many people have all ready requested D* for TNTHD? By now they should have thousands of requests. There is no way Im going to bother calling them again when they know that most of us want it!iceturkee said:
There's a thin line betwenn asking and begging and frankly Im not will stoop that low for someone who only exist because I pay a month fee! Ill take my money elsewhere before D* get another request from me!

Quite true and further, if ST was it's own slice, D* could run TNT-HD for all but maybe 8 hours a week. Believe me, D* would LOVE to give this to us, they just can't at this point.

More likely Rupert Murdoch's.
TNT is/was owned by Ted Turner.
D* is controlled by News Corp, which is Murdoch's.
Allegedly, they don't get along.
I was looking through a Crutchfield catalog I got in the mail yesterday and on the page with DirecTV receivers was a list of HD channels on DirecTV and one of the ones listed was TNT-HD. I don't know if that is a mistake or a sign of things to come...
I don't think TNT is owned by Turner. It was all part of Time Warner which merged with AOL several years ago.
Has there been any additional talk of new "national" networks
being added to the D* HD line-up?
I've got my MPEG-4 rcvr on it's way, just in case
