Thread: New channels rumors...

Those may all be true.

I have been hearing buzz we would see SCI-FI and USA around July.

So this may be accurate information.

The SD stuff I believe... the HD National feeds I doubt because of legal concerns. The NFL live HD game I REALLY doubt, unless they've worked a deal with the contract holders to carry the crappiest game of the week

Wow thats really good news. Voom is working hard to fill in the holes. Lets see if they come through with those ch's. No mention of INHD 1 and 2 or HDNET.

Not sure about those NFL Games. This might just be NFL Game of the Week. As to National Feed of locals, I have to agree with people on those posts, it may be difficult but not impossible. However, I do not see how they are going to do all of this with MPEG2 right now. They need to move to either MPEG4/WM9 or start upgrading customers to their version of "Superdish".

The RSN has been discussed but they need space for these. Specially HD RSN.

No no mention of INHD1 or 2.

Yes but did the info come from a CSR?

When they say broadcasting National Feed of locals, does that mean doing away with the OTA antenna and receiving my locals in High Def over the satellite?

No way they're doing a LIVE NFL game. Where's Techtv/G4? Like Scott said, no InHD. And is this just some CSR talking? If that's the case, I have some swamp land in Florida that is ripe for developent, if anyone's interested.
