Hey, big girls need lovin' too!

yes they do

Actually I myself would be good with 3 more HD channels H2,I.D. and Nat Geo Wild the rest of the family wants the others that I usually never watch.

Add to that TCM HD, BBCA HD and I might be happy.

Actually, I never watch TruTV. I would have preferred that they add something more intelligent such as Bloomberg HD.

Uugghhhh...

 

[Mr Tony]

exactly. Waiting for the person to complain that they want something like EWTN in HD

TruTV wouldn't be my first choice, but it makes sense given the interesting in March Madness.

I will be surprised if they keep the HD channel long-term.

They'll keep it .... this time, I think.
They pulled it last year after the basketball and I'm sure they heard about it, they've had PLENTY of time to test it now !

last year they put TruTV in HD on 246-1 which implies part time channel
This year it was put on 246 which overrides the SD channel. Its here to stay

and they wouldn't show other programming in HD besides the tournament, we all accept it here to stay

So I was taking a look at the "other fourm" and it looks like D* decided to put truTV HD on Directv 11, transponder #3 so now that transponder has 6 HD channels. I'm not sure if this is a sign of things to come when it comes down to new HD and the amount of capacity they have, but in my opinion (as I stated before), if they're able to find the right combo of HD channels without negatively affecting PQ, then I think it's not a bad idea to go to 6 HD channels on some of the transponders if that's what they have to do to add new HD channels. I know some will disagree, but my advice would be that when the tournament starts, compare the PQ on truTV versus TBS and TNT and see for yourself if there's any difference.
