    Hopefully NEVER. There is no HD on ION HD and then there's 20 hours a day of infomercials!
    THERE= a place. not here - THEIR= belongs to them - THEY'RE = short for "They Are". THEN = a point in time; not now. - THAN = used to compare things.

    If something is LOOSE you might LOSE it. Your=belongs to "you" You're short for "you are"

    Well as much as I'd like to see that happen, we got the standard def Planet Green channel at launch and it wasn't until last month that NYC got the HD version (the rest of us get it soon). Both Planet Green and BBCAmerica are distributed by Discovery, so I don't see CV making a major shift on the status quo here.

    Although I will admit Planet Green was technically a rebranding of Discovery Home, which we'd had for some time.

    79.703 is coming through as 1080i ION programming. I haven't watched it much, though. It doesn't come through the cable box, only with a QAM tuner.
