Unless something happens tonight it looks like we're at least 2 weeks away from seeing any of the hd channels D* recently added that E* doesn't have yet (one week to uplink and another to make it available). This isn't law but it's usually how it happens.

Heh... in next week's uplink activity report:
9647 - SATGUYS [MPEG4 HD] added to EchoStar5 129W TP 06 ConUS beam (Not Available)
Celtics will only have 40 HD home games this season, I can't wait to see none from E*
oh wow......now I can see the Dish HDTV logo on a bunch more channels.....
wonder how many games in HD will actually be shown on all these NHL HD channels.
Disappointed that the NHL Network is not yet available
I've got Charlie's "red phone" number... I'll call him and he'll tell the boys to shut them off. What's you account number?
Boy am I glad that we're still using the separate Uplink and Discussion posts (my proud suggestion)... I'd have gone nuts had I have to read through have these "I need to know what's happening now, I can't take it or i'll jump off a building" posts!
Good work Digi!
Good work Digi!
This so-called race to be the HD leader seems more like a race to add channels with HD in the name instead of channels with actual HD content.
Probably can find 4 scheduled for tomorrow.oh wow......now I can see the Dish HDTV logo on a bunch more channels.....

SciFi has big some shows in HD. I wouldnt dismiss this. And besides, the upresed version would look a lot better than what we're getting now. D* getting these stations (even uprezed) would have me strongly consider switching if I was not in contract.
What is that guide you are using? I have never seen that before with the red background.
Try and find the NHL Center Ice HD channels on DirecTV.
As long as we can get them on the originating channels like NESN HD
I don't particularly care whether there's a virtual channel assigned to the game.
Okay, let me get this straight - you would switch providers - changing all of your equipment - waiting hours for yet another installer - learning new buttons on the remote - just to have an upconverted version of an SD channel ???
Note that Universal HD is owned by the same people as SciFi and USA, and yet we have never seen a new SciFi or USA program shown in HD on Universal HD (the closest was about a week later for Flash Gordon and then just the pilot).
( Similarly, Food Network has a full time HD channel, and yet they don't have any new programming either - it's all from 2005 and 2006. Anything that is good, I've already seen in SD. )
The most ironic thing is that NBC Universal is showing all of its best Science Fiction on NBC instead of SciFi. Heroes is better than anything on SciFi, and so far Journeyman is at least equivalent to SciFi shows (like Dresden Files), Bionic Woman has the same sort of terrible direction and low-brow pandering as most SciFi shows
, while Chuck seems better made and more goofily entertaining than most SciFi shows. So, SciFi seems to have become NBC Universal's reject outlet...
