I remember when the commercials started up and they made a point to say that yes, indeed they are using HD cameras to film Ice Road Truckers.
go to the website, there's a whole behind the scenes on the show.
You can pretty much count on TBS HD----It's like the NFL HD for Dish. Dish has no NFL package and no MLB package. TBS HD is home to some of the playoffs for baseball this year and in the future. It only makes sense for them to add it!
There's one point that I rarely hear anyone mention. The SD programming on an HD channel looks way better than the compressed image on the regular channel. I personally much prefer watching the HD channel even if the program is in SD. Don't get me wrong, I want as much HD as possible but there is a definite benefit to watching the other programs with less compression.
Heard from someone near MLB that ALL playoff games will be available in HD. He thought that TBS HD would be available about Sept 15. And even if that is NOT the case, he would expect the games to be on TNT HD instead, even though they are on TBS SD.
Are you sure about that or are you just saying that because E* normally does uplink stuff on Wednesday? The press relase from E* specifically said Sept 1.
TBS-HD is 3/08
Heard talk of the MLB playoffs being SD upconvert
How do you upconvert SD when it is being captured with HD equipment?
Your sources have some problems, I'd find better sources.
That would make sense. Even though we all fully expect D* and E* to be able to add TBS-HD to their line ups in short order (hey we are in a period of rapid expansion of HD lineups) the same can not be said for millions of cable tv customers.
Here isa media reference to the Sept 5 launch date (on DISH) for History HD

Sure it does! History Channel is on there, and so are a bunch of others that E* has already.
If that list is accurate, then in September, E* will add CNN-HD and TBS-HD.
They already have all the other channels, except Chiller (which is unlikely because it just duplicates Voom channels) and various Starz channels. I don't think that E* would add multiple Starz-HD before HBO and Showtime - but I could be wrong, in which case they will also add those Starz-HD channels in September.

Gosh! how good HDTV has become. I remember when I got my HDTV (no HDMI input). PBS was the only HD available and it was a loop. How quickly we forget. 31 HD channel is great and more to come. Any more old timers out there.
