Absolutely not! True HD.

These were on in the old Voom days ad nauseum. They and 'Flipper' are gorgeous.

Thunderbirds and Flipper in HD. Woo--Hoo!!! All kidding aside, my wife loves those two shows. Maybe that will help my efforts in purchasing a HD LCD for the bedroom. She wants one but wants me to pay for it. I do not mind but I have to pay off the John Deere first. That will take till May. Maybe I can fudge a little as her birthday is in April. We shall see.

I hope they do not increase the HD package price, as I would not pay more for the channels as listed.

Gerry Anderson's stuff with Derek Meddings effects, now those are real top notch special effects not this PC garbage everyone uses nowdays

and they will look even better in HD

As discussed in other threads in our Dish Network area, the format change is expected to occur as early as this week, perhaps even on Monday or Tuesday.

Does anyone know where GuyTV programs and Westerns will be shown? On FilmFest?

I assume the answer will be yes Ken. When Film Fest was on, it aired various movies from various directors or themes. This also included the gunslinger/western theme.

I have been complaining about this as well, it looks like they could easily at least combine them into two stations.

I am pretty excited about WORLD and FILMFEST channels though...

My vote is for a return of MAJESTIC and then to actually show more majestic films...

Well, nothing has happened so far today...

Well, channel 9479 is now showing KungFu movies and has already changed its format: no longer on a 2-movie loop! However, I haven't seen the formal name change yet. Probably waiting for the official announcements at CES. Should not be too long now...

My guide *just* switched to 9479/KNGFU and 9480/FILMF! 9480 had been showing the "Film Fest" Voom bug in the upper right hand corner this morning as well.
