[Scott Greczkowski]

There has been no mention of any new HBO's.

Sorry Scott. I coulda swore it was stated they'd be added as they came online. Maybe it was speculation that I read. I've read some much lately that it gets jumbled.

 

[richiephx]

As long as they don't kill the PQ, I'm looking forward to the new HD additions.

I hope so too, it's pretty much dead right now.

 

[jimboeau]

I think one of them will be the Big Ten Network HD!!

Imagine what it has been like over at D* where they've added one or two channels in the last three years.

 

[harshness]

Cartoon Network HD may be available for retransmission in September.

Well, for me, that is the whole point. Is E* going to closely mirror what D* is planning on doing, or will they fall behind? I want to sign up with the service that will have the most MOVIE channels in HD and since E* hasn't announced any, I'm weary of joining up with them. I think I might just start a thread on MY pros and cons for each service to get some insight on who to go with. But either way, I'm leaving TWC Columbus and their terrible HD service.

When some carrier has the channels you want, sign up. Don't rely and plans and promises, you won't be able to tune into those on your HDTV. If nobody has what you want now, then wait until someone does. Don't get locked into a committment.

 

[sprintcarcrazy]

Direct has been saying 1500 National HD, for last year and a half, still not crap, so go with who has what you want now. Dish is adding subscribers 3 times faster than direct and the reason is HD. Do you think they are going to let that slip way behind, I doubt it. Dish still has the best DVR as well. If you are waiting to to how the HD arena pans out, your gonna have another 5 years to wait. I think you can sign up with no commitment but it will cost more.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

1500 national HD channels?

Are you sure about that one... I have seen 150 a lot of times but never 1,500 of them.

I do agree on the DVR, the 622 is much better then the HR 20. (Although the HR 20 is getting better all the time)

sounds to me scott, you need to get more use out of your hr20 the best there is was and ever will be HDDVR!
do you hook up ota to your hr20, 622?
to me it obvious the hr20 has the best tuner in it as i get ota channels on it that the 622 cant
i can go on and on and do sometimes as you know

IMHO hr20 best thing since sliced bread!

hehe dtv fixes thing during software updates and *ish usually breaks them or removes features


the only channel im waiting for is Nhl Network Hd that Gary said was on the way

D* is the one playing HD catch-up. Notice a fair amount of the "coming" HD D* channels E* has already? A&E HD, FoodHD, HGTV HD, Cinemax HD, Starz HD, NatGeo HD........

You guys are forgetting

Lifetime Movies-HD which is currently on Verizon's FiOS. **shutter*****

The Battered BITCH channel in HD no less.

 

[bruin95]

It has been stated they plan to carry the HBO's as the come online in HD.

D* stated that, not E*.

 

[John Kotches]

On that subject, is there a sticky post indicating which cities have HD locals available?

Cheers,

I've had both, 622 is better, but not by far. The OTA tuner comment is not fact, but more YOUR experience. I get better SS on the 622 than my HR20 did(closer to my Sony HDTV readings also).

I had several "black" screens that were supposed to be recordings on the HR20, never on the 622.

Is MOJO really that bad of a HD channel? I wouldn't mind that one.
