UPDATE 3/10/2016

So if we look at the number, Tata Sky provides the maximum number of HD channels. Dish TV, Airtel Digital TV and Videocon D2H are close to it. Do we need to say anything about Reliance Digital TV and Sun Direct?

So the list of winners based on maximum number of HD channels is as following:

NOTE: Most of the Zee Network HD channels don't provide Dolby Digital (DD) Surround Sound. Reliance Digital TV doesn't provide DD sound on any HD channel. DishTV provides DD sound on very less number of HD channels (only 20 channels). On the other hand, Tata Sky (54), Airtel (46), Videocon (33) and Sun Direct (13) provide DD sound on almost all available HD channels.
