GOLD HD
VH1 Classic 163
The Movie Channel (West) 329
Sleuth 198
Nicktoons Network 178
History International 121
Fox Movie Channel 133

None of these (except TMC) have HD feeds.

About 90% of VH1 Classic's material could never be shown in HD, and the few things that could (old concerts on film) probably WON'T get converted any time soon. That said...having no HD material has never stopped Viacom from launching an "HD" channel.

Same goes for Nicktoons, but it will get more HD material as time passes. I think that Penguin show is the only HD cartoon on Nick right now.

Sleuth HD was supposed to launch in 2006, so who knows? Chiller HD was supposed to launch ages ago as well...if they ever do, I would kind of expect them to launch together.

I've seen something that indicated Fox Movie Channel (along with Soccer and several other Fox channels) are targeted for 2010.

No word on History Intl, but it wouldn't surprise me.

EDIT- I forgot VH1 Classic shows new concerts sometimes. I always watch the old ones that were shot on videotape. I guess they might have an hour or two a day of potential HD, which is better than Nick.
