We are 52 in the market place. So I don't think we will be getting them any time soon.
Do OTA. I don't know where your from but most of the people I know have no trouble picking up all the local stations OTA.
"...Most people who watch the food channel are in the kitchen and trying some of the stuff out...."
Where did you get that idea? That's like saying people who watch football are out in a field trying to duplicate the moves on TV.

I'm looking for an HD set for the kitchen!
MTV HD, without the music of course. MTV should have done a rename years ago.bigblock468 said:
How long until we get FXHD?

Now, they need to add SciFi in HD. I now wait for things on Canadian tv in HD because they are filmed in HD, but shown on SCIFI in SD. What a waste!

Actually, MHD is MTV with the music. It's a hybrid music channel offering musical programs and videos from their collection of channels, including VH-1 and CMT.
I'm surprised, didn't know. Did know what the letters stood for. Given their track record how long until they go back to series and no videos?Jeff_R said:
Logos continue to be bad news for those of us with CRT-RP TVs. Not great for plasma sets either. Logos which are very light/translucent are okay.
The worst ones around are the ones Dish puts up on their HD Demo channel when they show the aquariums. If I let those aquariums run for a couple hours a night over a few weeks, I'd have nasty logo burnin.
The Dish on-screen DVR control panel is bad news too. Everytime I pause something for more than a minute or two, I switch my TV to the "Cable" input so it will throw up a "snow" / white noise screen. The snow screen is good not only for avoiding burn-in from the DVR but for wiping any burnout in progress, sort of an eraser. It's good to throw it up for a half-hour every week or so.
I sure wish Dish would have the DVR control panel be more translucent or move around the screen if it paused for more than a minute. I know of a few people who did have burn-in problems from it.

Oh, LOGO the channel.
Wouldn't bother me if Dish carried it. One more channel I wouldn't watch, but as there are already dozens of those, why not another one?

Why are there so many people complaining about certain channels being put up in HD?? Is that not the plan for ALL channels to goto HD at some point? So have Food goto HD now, or later, its inevitable that it will be HD. E* does not come up with the programming, so if you want to complain about not having a certain channel in HD, call up that channel provider and leave E* out of it. Then if E* decides not to uplink it, then you can call them up and complain :-D Eventually we will all be able to watch CSPAN in full HD glory!
"...Is that not the plan for ALL channels to go to HD at some point? ..."
No. All channels will go digital, but not all HD. For decades, there will be reruns of SD programming- some stations may specialize in this. Some source material will be of limited interest, and not support the added expense of recording in HD. Bandwidth will always be a concern, so HD programming must be of great popularity to pay the freight.
Sadly, multi-casting will always be with us.
