HD channel question?

[sullic82]

I was just thinking if people were given the chance to have a SD channel in HD what channel would it be? Mine would be either TBS (since they show a lot of movies) or ABC family channel. What channel would everyone else chose if they could have 1 SD channel into conveted to HD?

#1 - The History Channel.

I agree if it was done right, look what another Turner channel, TNT HD looks like.

I would rather wait a couple of years for the content providers (studios, syndicators, production companies) to convert SD material to HD, rather than have TNT stretchOvision. It's going to take time and money.

I would like The Travel Channel, followed by History channel, and I am sure my wife would like E Entertainment.

 

[MikeD-C05]

SCI-FI in hd.

 

[mdonnelly]

Fox Movie Channel, or TCM.

#1 would be Speed and #2 would be Sci-Fi.

 

[tsc]

Speed would be my #1 pick.

I just want my RSN in HD, damn it. The History channel will be my second choice.

 

[Doppy]

Comedy Channel, MTV and G4

 

[ripnbigc]

Speed, Sci-Fi.

 

[8bitbytes]

Sci-Fi and Fx

 

[SarKen]

NESN would be nice. But, I feel this will not happen on E*. So I would have to vote for Speed or SCI-FI .

 

[stevvot]

Another vote for History Channel.

TBS HD would be a good choice. Considering the number of sports that they are showing...Braves' games in '07, weekly package, division series in '08. Don't they also have a weekly college football game again this fall? As long as they stay away from stretch o vision, this would be a good choice.

 

[WhenYouAwake]

SPEED, sometime soon, before the All Star race.

 

[whatchel1]

Only One ?

I can only list one choice. ALL of them is my choice. SCI-FI as a single channel.

If we are assuming that this HD version of the SD channel, implies that they have true HD versions of the programming, then definitely Fox Soccer Channel. (A lot of their content is broadcast in HD in Europe, so they would have to have a big transatlantic satellite feed leased all the time.)

However, many of the "HD" channels still have a lot of upconverted 4x3 programming, so I think we are still at a point where there ain't all that more HD content out there. For example, I was disappointed to find that Penn and Teller is shot in SD and just upconverted for Showtime HD.

PS If you guys are thinking the new Doctor Who eps in HD, then I'm with ya. But I can't get into Soap Opera Galactica ... and Dresden turned out to be disappointing...
