Confirmed: DirecTV will carry seperated Versus / Golf HD

[Rey]

don't care about those but would love to have comedy central hd which is rumored for a 12/10 launch!

i'm with you on this. i would love to have this and be the 1st ones to get it too.

I thought it wasn't even launching until the 8th...

Comcast Networks:

Yeah I wouldn't care for those channels that much either. The only thing I watch on any of those 3 channels is The Soup and since it's mostly a clip show of what would probably be all SD clips, it wouldn't do much good for it to be in HD.

Hopefully since D* already has a contract for the other Viacom HD channels, Comedy Central will come right away.

I know this is the DirecTV forum, so what I have to say doesn't really apply, but perhaps one day DirecTV will offer the same kind of packs.

As a Dish HD absolute customer (probably changing to Turbo HD before long) I want each net in HD, as each one represents another channel I can get. I don;t care if Stewart, Colbert, to The Soup is HD, I'd just love the ability to watch it without paying a buch of extra cash for a buch of other SD channels I don't watch.

Plus, provided it's not poorly streatched, SD on an HD channel has better PQ.

iceturkee, where did you read of a 12/10 launch for Comedy Central HD?

I understand your point and it is a very valid point. SD on a non strecth-o-vision HD channel has much better PQ. But D* already has enough HD channels that don't show HD (CMT HD, VH1 HD, Fuel HD and MTV HD which has only shown 1 HD program) and I rather have channels that have a much larger amount of HD on it. Like some more HD premiums for instance.

That's good news.

Has anyone heard when the other RSN's are supposed to go full time?

Also, there was a few Channel Changes too.

G4 Tv has moved to Channel 310
Current Tv has moved to 358

Now if they get it together and get Travel Channel and WGN running in HD, I'd be happy!

Nice!

Vs. and Golf HD are now two separate channels!

Now, there is no reason to keep the SD Golf Channel in my favorites. Very nice.

In post DBSTalk.Com - View Single Post - Versus HD and Golf HD split Wednesday? there is information about why Golf and VS are showing only SD programming now.
