Rumor Alert

[Scott Greczkowski]

It's time for another SatelliteGuys Rumor Alert...

It appears that THREE new HD channels will be uplinked to DIRECTV by the end of the week. No word however when or if those channels will become available to customers.

Thanks for being SatelliteGuys members.

I hope one will be Esquire. Esquire is show old reruns of Airwolf and Knight Rider. I wonder if those were shot on film and would be shown in 16x9 HD like the Dukes of Hazzard was when CMT had them in HD?

Also when will DTV get all of the UVerseTV channels that are in HD?

 

[Juan]

My guess HSN, QVC and shopnbc

This aint Dish!

My guess HSN, QVC and shopnbc

We already have QVC in HD.

 

[Sparkman]

Pop, GSN, & Esquire, although, since I don't get Esquire, I'd vote for Discovery Life.

 

[alnielsen]

FM, One World Sport & ?

 

[huskerhead]

Directv adds hd channels while Dish drops 'em.

 

[ejb1980]

My guess HSN, QVC and shopnbc

We already have QVCHD and shopNBC hasn't existed for a while

My guesses: FM, One World Sports, and one of the remaining channels in the .TV group.

GSN is long overdue. Dish and my local cable co. have had it for years.

 

[Drucifer]

Please be AHC

 

[Blackhawks]

Please be AHC

There is always hope now that they are broadcast in HD

I would love to be able to get the CW in HD... I don't currently.

I hope one is GSN as we watch it a lot. But the only way we get CW in HD is that it is a in HD as a local in Pensacola/Mobile. My spouse watches stuff on it quite a bit. It is just a poor SD sub on our other locals

Esquire HD isn't that much to brag about. The quality (on dish at least) is very soft even on movies and shows recorded in HD. And I hate to burst your bubble, but any of the classic universal shows I've seen on the network (magnum pi, Miami vice, knight rider, a team, etc) are all crappy '80s (probably for syndication) telecines. The DVDs frankly look better.

One would think that directv would have added GSN in HD MUCH sooner than they have, considering they own nearly half of the network. Frankly I hope they add AHC, it's sort of like what history channel used to be

Hey those are cool shows I watched during their first runs., except I didn't watch Miami Vice.

I was referring to the video quality as crappy. The shows are great. I think they use tapes from when they scanned the film in the 1980s (for syndication). Blurry picture, very dull colors, muddled sound. It was disappointing to see as some of the shows have been on Netflix in HD already.
