Dish Network Launches Hustler HD Channel

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.—Dish Network has launched a unique new HD channel available to Dish customers nationwide—HustlerHD. Launched last Wednesday, the channel is the first hi-def adult offering by the satellite network.

In fact, currently there is no other satellite provider other than Dish that carries an adult HD channel. DIRECTV used to carry Spice HD but no longer does, and Voom used to carry Playboy HD but went out of business.

The new offering has yet to be added to the list of adult programming on the Dish website, which includes a number of channels such as Hustler TV, Reality Kings TV, Playboy TV and XTSY, among others. Prices for the non-HD explicit fare range from $30 to $40 a month.

HustlerHD, which launched on May 1 of this year, offers exclusive content from numerous HD-producing studios, including Digital Playground, Hustler Video and Zero Tolerance. Every title on the new service is filmed, edited and broadcast in true HD.

"HustlerHD has the most true HD adult content from the top adult studios with no up-converted movies," LFP Inc. and Hustler TV president Michael Klein has said. "That will ensure the highest buy rate among the HD enthusiasts."
