Amen to that, hopefully they will make INHD available to subs. CinemaxHD would be nice too...

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Cinemax will be later this fall. (Or so I hear)

 

[Poke]

Yeah would be nice to get INHD tomorrow before the weekend..

And then if old Charlie would light up The Movie Channel in HD, all of the major premium chaneels featured in the monthly Dish magazine would be in HD! Yes, I am one of those people who actually like (and pay for) the monthly magazine.

Then, I wouldn't catch "what for" from my wife about not wanting to watch a movie because it's not in HD!

Yeah, MLB HD on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday at least.

 

[gpflepsen]

Would the Cinemax HD debut coincide with the free MAX preview later in October???

Porn in HD could be a very bad thing. Butt Zit wrangler becomes the most important job in the production.

I agree. Porn and HD don't mix.

Voom had Playboy HD.

All HD does for porn is make pimples and strech marks standout.

This question is for Scott G. or anyone else who goes to industry conferences with large masses.....During sessions or groups, are pointed questions asked to the representative panels concerning HD down rezzing and picture quality?...or is it not politically correct to put E* or D* on the spot with unscreened questions? One would think that professional conferences such as these that attendees could force their hands?

Last year at CES during the press conference noone really asked "tough" technical questions. Most of the talk was done on the show floor. Even then the Dish Reps were very careful with what they said. I'm just guessing here, but if questions were asked during one of these, I bet they'd just defer "technical" questions to someone else (ie, not provide an answer).

"They" meaning DISH and "big day" meaning turning on INHD and the RSNs at the same time.

Thats what i am hoping for anyway.

Now there's HD in the rotation (and some of them eventually so up on Showtime).
