Shaw Direct August E-mail

[Gant]

Just received an e-mail update from Shaw Direct.

AMC HD starts Sept 1 and they're teasing their "major" HD PVR enhancements. Hopefully they'll start rolling those out soon!

I'd gladly give up the Big Ten channels for "The ScoreHD". It's hard to figure out why it is taking so long for them to add this channel. :rant:

 

[Mr Tony]

agreed QCK

really would like thescore hd

AMC HD will be in free preview from Sept 1 to Nov 30 for all HD subs. Then it will become part of the HD Extra package.

That's one great thing about S*. Their freeviews last for months!

Anyone know the cost of NFL Sunday Ticket HD?

Oops! Miss read the 1st post. It says a HD channel. One game? Or all games?

Anyone know the cost of NFL Sunday Ticket HD?

Look at the bottom of this page, not a bad deal for both NHLCI & NFLST:

What's better than NFL Sunday Ticket™? NFL Sunday Ticket in HD! - Shaw Direct

Oops! Miss read the 1st post. It says a HD channel. One game? Or all games?

NHL Sunday Ticket will have just one HD channel. In theory, that means two HD games each Sunday (1 PM ET and 4:15PM ET).

Keep in mind, there will also be HD games on other HD channels (FOX, CBS, etc). Hopefully Shaw will choose games that aren't already airing on other HD channels to put on their NFL Sunday Ticket HD channel.

 

[QCK]

Hopefully! Send a message to "Ask Jim" on the Shaw Direct website requesting to have the 6 NHLHD channels to be used on Sunday afternoon for the NFLST. Maybe if enough of us ask they might do this.
