Wednesday 6am Channel List. on D*

[Gen Custer]

I dont exect MSG HD anytime soon on DirecTV or Dish Network.

Why is there such widespread speculation for these channels on Directv?

Everyone had them on their upcoming rumored channel lists. It would seem obvious that cablevision keeps a tight reign on these channels to try to keep New Yorkers tied to optimum cable.

"Somebody up there loves you"!

This is great! There is so much HD now, I don't know what to do with all of it! :up

 

[imthedevil]

Again NO NGHD.!protest There are four more Wednesdays left in October if there is any consolation. The Food network fans are just as disappointed.

Those would be the 2 channels this house is most interested in And we even saw FoodHD last night for a little while.

 

[Ramy]

What are the channel names for these: 622, 623, 625, 629 and 640?

Is there any chance the G4TV will go HD soon? It is a shame that with the next gen consoles and all the hi-def games, we can't see game reviews and previews in HD. I would have thought that this would be a no brainer.

yes, nesn, sny, csn in the dc area (i believe) and csn chicago.

adding channel after channel "what to watch, what to watch"

 

[ltrinidad]

yes, nesn, sny, csn in the dc area (i believe) and csn chicago.

Are these channels only regional? I get the message that I am not subscribed to this channel.

Other than that...keep them coming!

You need either the Sports Pack or Premier to see them out-of-market.

A&E, History and TNT are all upconverted streched SD. Really bad quality.
Is CNN really HD? Or just the CNN desk is HD. What about the feeds?
How come SC FI channel doesn't say anything about their HD on their web?

Do D* people troll on the Dish forum like that ?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

All the time unfortunately.

Remember folks we have a Dish -vs- DirecTV War Zone Forum.

Please keep the trolling there.

 

[FKy.Guy]

You got me. I am switching to D* as of Monday.

 

[JerryVolunteer]

I have never looked forward to Wednesdays so much! This is like having Christmas every week!

Since the comment is here on this thread, I disagree Scott, at least in the general terms you stated it in. I would say it is 10 to 1 at least. Way more E* trolls than D* trolls. Lets be honest now.

 

[bbraune]

This is funny.

I was also getting message 721 on HBOW HD (504) and since I didn't have time to call D* this morning, I decided to leave them an e-mail through their website. This is the response that I received:

I dont see any trolling. Only legitimate questions that if some were adult enough they could address without calling names. They are good points. Much of this is simply SD. Not D*'s fault, but nothing to toot your horn about either.

 

[Sapient]

E* customer here, but not trolling. SciFI HD!!!! That is great news. How does it look? And why am I suddenly turning green?

 

[richiephx]

For those of us who are evaluating whether to switch providers, are you seeing actual HD on the non-movie premium channels or are they just the business as usual upconverted SD on the new stuff?
