Sci-Fi HD...when can we watch?

[tigerfan33]

Tomorrow.. Wednesday, January 30th.. I now know it!

The voices are telling me. I can hear them. It's the voices!

They say USA-HD and SciFi-HD will be there tomorrow afternoon. The voices told me so! It must be true.

Wasn't voices. Just a tv or radio ad saying that it was going to be on Direct, Comcast, Cablevision....

I would hope so, this is getting ridiculous... every time I check "Engadget HD" a new market is adding Sci Fi channel, among other HD channels. Although most of these are just catching up it makes Dish less and less of any kind of leader in the HD market and less of a reason for anyone to choose them over someone else (for HD content at least...). *sigh*

Very true. And to Satellitegys.us

Oh come on guys! This must be the day. If it doesn't happen on Wednesday this week, I will kill my new installation of a the ViP722 scheduled for Thursday and go DirecTV very soon.

This is a deal breaker!!

 

[long_time_DNC]

I'll be happy if it does happen Wednesday, but I'm not holding my breath...

Well, you'd better keep the DirecTV install number on your speed dial then!

Just a few more hours until they light it up!

(Think positive guys!!)

What are the basic channel numbers they'll be using?

What are the basic channel numbers they'll be using?

USA-HD: 105+2i
SciFi-HD: 122+2i

and soon....

FX-HD: 136+2i
Tennis-HD: 400+2i
Speed-HD: 150+2i
RFD-HD: 231+2i

Of course they haven't yet released the receivers that can get these channels, a mere technicality.

Like WaltinVT, methinks they put up the USA-HD and SciFi-HD slates just to generate some rumours and head off the migration to D*. That's the only explanation that I can see makes sense (but what do I know? ).

I pray that I come back from lunch and there is a celebration here.


Yet somehow I doubt it.

There was a celebration when USA/SciFi-HD were "uplinked". Look where THAT'S gotten us.

But hope is something to savor.

I am getting a little tired of waiting for more HD...it is getting old.

 

[mpl692001]

I guess that I have found all this discussion of I'm leaving because they don't show channel X or they keep saying that channel Y is coming, etc........ Were the Direct forums the same way when they were playing catch-up to E*...... This really is funny and maybe but not holding breath but maybe E* is playing it tight to the vest for once and yeah it might be a onsie or twosies right now but, when Sats are launched during the year and folks have there fill of whatever stations they might be clamoring for, folks will still complain about something..... Its crazy

 

[markcosenza]

I think these people should just get Dish, Direct and Comcast to assure they don't miss out on a single day of any relevant HD channel. It would save a lot of frustration for them.

getting?

 

[jman069]

WOW almost 80,000 views.......... Says something doesn't it

Since they are not being downlinked, it's highly doubtful that they are being uplinked.

Yup. EXACTLY my point.

 

[Yes616]

My favorite day of the week is FRIDAY.

Might be yours too if your a fan of SCI-FI or USA.

Just some buzz I am hearing.

Rememeber this from early December? Scott! Please chime in!! Is it this Friday?? Feb 1??

It looks like the new season of BSG starts April 4th. (wonder why the teasers say coming in march?)

I **will** see it in HD. Period.

I really don't want to switch providers, but I might not have much choice. That is my ONE criteria and I'm going to stick to it.

Where did you see April 4? The SciFi website still says March 2008.
