Looks like DirecTV is finally adding the HD feed of GSN

[CoreyArcher]

The tech heads at the DBS Talk forum are reporting that the HD feed of GSN is now in testing on one of DirecTV's satellites. This typically happens a week or so before a channel goes live in the lineup. One or two other obscure channels are also in test at the moment after a bit of a dry spell for new HD additions of any note.

There is another thread with the technical details from the satellite.

I can only picture some AT&T executive, shortly after the DirecTV acquisition, saying, "Wait, what?", and finally pushing negotiations through with Sony.

GSN-HD is now up and running on Directv.
