If you've been content just focusing on sectors in your own nation, you may have missed all the DTH congestion in India. At last count, there are five different satcasters serving the country, and now some are making accelerated pushes to get high-def programming on the air in order to stand out. A recent report from New Delhi asserts that
Dish TV and
Sun Direct are both hoping to add high-definition content in separate tiers within "the next few months." Specifics are relatively scant, but Indians can probably expect between 10 to 15 HD stations for a modest (read: totally worthwhile) premium. Other sources have noted that
Tata Sky,
Big TV and
Airtel should follow suit, though specific time lines weren't mentioned. Better get that HDTV soon, Indians -- you've got high-res content just around the bend.

Indian's like me are definitely ready with our 52 inchers gunning for HD Contennt, but these telecasters can't seem to get there technology / agreement terms right at first place... once they get that sorted, i hope to see more people welcoming them
