Does anyone know if NFL Sunday Ticket will be HD this year, on Star Choice? How can I find out? Their web site doesn't say. Don't want to make the same mistake I made last year.
Star Choice NFL ?

as of right now nobody knows. But I think only some of the games will be in HD. The ones fro CBS Detroit, Fox Rochester, CBS/Fox Seattle and TSN
There may be room for SD but I doubt they will take up that space for NFL ST. They still want to add new channels and will need the room for those until first of the new satellites gets into production. Every year you read people requesting it and they are always told that there is not enough demand for them to sell NFL ST. I guess if demand drasticaly changed they could come out with an SD version but odds are not good for this to happen. I just changed my programming today and the CSR said they will be coming out with come new childrens channels next but did not say what they were. Shoot, we can't even get "the Score" in HD.
also noticed come June 1 TP10 on F1 is stripped clean. Spokane TV moving to TP15 and audio moving somewhere else
saw they are moving golf HD to TP10 from F2...also noticved that with a F1 only setup there are 2 HD channels on TP13
SNET East
CTV East
so maybe they are going to use TP10 for HD? There are some transponders that only have 4 or 5 channels on them (TP3 has Court TV and the 4 Sportsnets) so there is room for new SD channels

also: CFTO-HD (293) at 1pm ET and the SportsNets (260-263) at 4pm ET and RDS-HD (240).
in a related topic, SportsNet will be showing the NFL Network Thursday and Saturday games this season
Losing FOX Detroit takes away 1 potential (SD) game that we could have watched this fall.
My personal opinion: unless you are a fan of a particular team or a gambler, there are plenty of games available to watch on Sundays without Sunday Ticket.
audio is moving to TP31
Spokane TV minus PBS is moving to TP15
Spokane PBS is moving to TP1
It is listed in their June pricing/channel chart

They have had it the last 3 seasons or so, so I would assume it would be back, I would say very doubtful for HD but I guess you never know.

So if I order both NHLCI and NFLST I'm looking at Sept 2009 through May 2010. $29.99 for nine months is $269.91.
If I cancel after a couple of months, I still owe for the rest of the months until the end of Round 2 of the NHL playoffs, correct?

Last year I thought it was like 200 bucks for both...only NFL ST was 25 bucks a month
Reason they do that (monthly) is Rogers cable does the same thing...they bill it per month so it doesn't kill ya $$ wise one month

That's correct. You have to pay thoughout the season once you start so there is no point in canceling.
I'd rather pay the total upfront and get a lower total price. I'd also feel a lot better if they used the NHLHD channels on Sunday for football but it looks like that is something Shaw Direct does not want to do.
