Oprah Winfrey Network was the rebranding of what used to be Discovery Health.
Nat Geo Wild was the rebranding of what was Fox Reality. But Nat Geo wasn't carried immediately; a la Disney Junior, the presence of SOAPnet somewhat is similar to Fox Reality, so it would be the better example.
I bet it will be on the HD satellite, In beautiful SD!
Hey Directv just dropped quite a few HD channels, they got room now!
Let's hope it stays that way and it is in HD on other providers and that is the last channel I want to see in HD is own
Oprah Winfrey Network is nationally available in high definition.
DirecTV carries lots of SD-only versions of programming that are nationally available in HD.
OWN is one of those. And, come Saturday, it may turn out that way as well with Disney Junior.
DirecTV still had to have a contractual agreement to carry Disney Junior. True of all providers. SOAPnet did not transition into Disney Junior the very moment of its official launch.
Dish actually carries both OWN and Nat Geo Wild in HD.
I never really understood OWN replacing Discovery Health due to poor ratings. Then, Discovery turns around and rebrands Fit TV as Discovery Fit and Health. Dish does not carry it since it did not carry Fit TV. Dish carries Veria. About the only thing I watched on OWN was Mystery Diagnosis, but I do have to admit that the HD feed does look nice. I suppose that is for another thread, though.
I remember that DirecTV carried a Fox Reality loop of programming until Nat Geo Wild was picked up. I think SoapNet is somewhat different to Fox Reality as it still airs "new" programming of encore presentations of the day's soap operas (The Young and the Restless, Days of our Lives, and General Hospital). It also airs some classic shows like Beverly Hills, 90210, Veronica Mars, All My Children, Brothers & Sisters, One Tree Hill, and Gilmore Girls. I think an example that is similar would be Nick Gas on Dish whenever there was some technical difficulties with splitting Noggin into what is now Nick Jr (formerly Noggin) and Teen Nick (formerly The N).
D* does not add new HD, thought we all knew this already. if there is no PPV in front of it, It will not be in HD. SSDD
Disney Jr is up and running
NASA is on 346 now
funny as NASA shows up in my favorites (even though it moved channels) but Disney Jr does not. Had to add it to favorites
