Sci-fi Channel Hd

Why would it? They don't compete with Time Warner.

True, but they do like to be the best cable providers, so another provider that serves in the same general area as Cablevision now has more/better channels.....ya never know.

WOW, I'm surprised it took you this long to reply.

Is what I said true or not??

got word from a vp today that cv will be adding approximately 25 channels in bulk within the next coming months.....heres hoping.....and no, i have no idea what they are going to be.

Sort of....you can never please 100% of the people 100% of the time. For me, the one channel I want is DiscoveryHD, so until that happens, I will "usually" complain about what they add. More HD is great, but I would rather see channels that you can really appreciate in HD. For example CNNHD, it's great we have another channel, but when I think of HD content, I don't think of the news. I'd rather see a show on building bridges or the Roman Empire....something like that in HD than Larry King.

So, I will keep complaining until DiscoveryHD and Joe Smith will complain until we get SciFiHD and Jane Smith will complain until we get SpeedHD. That's the beauty of the forums.

So if the rumor about the getting the entire HBO-HD suite is true, that'd be 18 of the 25 channels if I'm counting correctly. That's 7 unaccounted for. (see this post on cablerant for HBO-HD rumors

)

If I had to guess, ESPNews is probably a one of them since CV usually caves to sports fans and ESPN knew it was going to launch the channel when we got ESPN2. ESPNU and ESPNU-HD (not until August) could also be in the works if that's the case, but who knows. This is just a guess.

The Discovery suite could take up another 4 channels.

I'd also like to see Food-HD and HGTV-HD REMOVED since they took a step in the wrong direction by going from HD all the time to stretch-o-vision on 3/31.

Bottom line is I guess we'll have to wait and find out but this is good to hear none-the-less.

I didn't see the VOOM channels in the TW line up. So we have a leg up in that regard. I really enjoyed all on the Planet of the Apes movies in HD this week. Some of the best PQ to date. There is no need for all of the HBO's in HD, that space could be used to serve a broader range of selection. Maybe leave off the west coast HBO HD feeds.

I'd like to see all the West coast feeds of ANY channel be taken off. It's nice to have, but certainly not necessary...IMHO!

Maybe once the Voom channels are moved to switched video, that will free up bandwidth for more channels to be added. I'm hoping for SciFi HD & Discovery HD as well!
