As we do on at least a weekly basis, my wife and I emailed DirecTV yesterday with the usual: as HD subs, we want HDNet movies, Discovery, ESPNHD, and feeds of the nets.
Overnight, we got the usual response, but with a twist (at least for us):
---
Thank you for your interest in high definition programming.
We hope to be able to offer Discovery & ESPN Channel programming in high definition.
However, as it is DIRECTV policy not to disclose information about upcoming programming until it is officially announced, we do not have a date when we can expect it at this time.

We had not seen the "we hope to be able to offer Discovery and ESPN" sentence in previous emails from DirecTV.
This may be nothing new, but the canned response does seem a bit more optimistic than we usually get from DirecTV.
