SciFi better get some good shows back on .. because by the time E* gets them in HD there won't be anything worth watching on there anymore..
SG1 - done..
Dresden File- canceled..
SG-Atlantis - barely worth watching..
BSG - only one I look forward to watch..
The corporate parentage of Sci-Fi gives the channel and the genre's fans little to no respect.
Correct on the first point, and entirely wrong on the second point.
The corporate parentage is showing more SciFi on NBC than on SciFi Channel. Monday night on NBC is far better SciFi than anything on SciFi channel (with the exception of Doctor Who on the latter, which is only on SciFi because the property was sold to SciFi prior to the new management of BBC America coming on board).
Sci-Fi doesn't have a HD feed, therefore, the only thing you will see on Directv is the SD version stretched out and running at the highest bitrate possible but its still stretched and the HD filmed shows will not be in HD because Sci-Fi themselves do not have a HD feed available...this is a gimmick to get people over to Directv for there stretched out HD...this isn't smart if you my opinion on this...full resolution or not, I'll stay patient with Dish at the moment...
I really have a feeling this is going to be a Direct "fake" HD channel. I think they are just going to take the SD channel feed, upconvert it, and call it HD. I think that is what they may do with a lot of these channels they claim coming to HD, that don't exist and haven't even announced plans for HD feeds yet.
And really the only news on SciFI in HD is from the misinformation that D* is spewing that the channel will be added to there lineup.
DirecTV CLAIMS it's upcoming. That's a lot different from it actually being in HD. Go to scifi.com, there isn't one mention anywhere about a possible HD offering. D* is either BSing, or they plan on doing some cheesy upconverting.
WRONG
Now don't all you guys with those posts saying that it was a fake and it was a D* gimmick and that it didn't exist, fell ummmm...well....like idiots. At least you could all be man enough to get back on this thread and eat your crow like Questioner did a couple of weeks ago. Oh and by the way, those posts above with the big fat WRONG, under them that was damn funny. Experts hugh?
And why should they? Until the channel was up there, they were right. And do you feel ID 10 T certified? For being so rude to them. :yikes:haha:haha:haha:clap
No, in many of their posts they were arguing that that this was a scam. they were so certain that if they had not heard about it then it could not be. Spin it anyway you want to but guys shouldn't post as facts and not expect some grief. No one was offering an opinion, they were stating facts. As I said, man up and admit the mistake.
Wrong. I watched an HD movie "Species:the awakening" on SciFi HD on D* last night. IT LOOKED GREAT TOO. The material is just not labelled with HD yet in the guide. I am sure that all New series etc will be HD. Lets stop the misinformation and conspiracy theories people.I really have a feeling this is going to be a Direct "fake" HD channel.

This is great news! I hope E* picks it up soon.
It really is great news. It is nice to see some sanity among the E* subs.
The it's not a real HD channel stuff is making me sick. To think that these guys don't want it to be because they don't have it yet is just about the most childish argument I have ever heard.
