Now if they could lose the ads on some or all of those. And maybe add FoxMovie in HD.

I know it's not official yet until we see it, but wow have times changes remember whenever HD channels were added there would be press releases and that kind of stuff. I know HD I guess is kind of the norm now.

Without a doubt. I'm really surprised they are still pushing to upgrade people from the old QPSK receivers to SD ones with 8PSK. Seems that a switch directly to all MPEG4 equipment would make more sense in the long run.

CHRCH in SD? Meh.

IFC in HD, but still crappy content? Meh.

According to channel 103 (the free view channel) Fox Movie is in HD.

Exactly. But it appears dish wants the customers to ask for upgrade to HD plus they can reuse their SD boxes. Heck there appears to be no set date when they will do the switch to 8PSK

i was checking that also on 103 it says that Fox Movie Channel is in HD and right now we are not getting it in HD.I wish we would like see that channel added in HD.

I still don't have Fuse and etc... in HD, all there but in SD. I suppose it will update sometime....can I force it?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

They are not available yet for customers. But since they are uplinked i dont think it will be long until we see them.

 

[mmc-dsm]

Oh OK that explains it. Didn't notice the non-available status. Silly me....

I think Dish removed HD on channel 103 for Fox Movie Channel.

It happens to the best of us.

so would I along with Outdoor channel in HD & the Disney's

 

[Chris Walker]

FUSE is very much needed in HD, the channel is useless in SD as it looks like a postage stamp in SD. They need to get rid of the SD version if this is what they choose to provide. Same goes for ESPNU
