I bet Mark Cuban may yet have something to say about that.

Does anyone no the process directv used in determining which channels would go hd? I know they have agreements with the providers but puting the cartoon network in hd doesnt make sense. Why are they waiting till October to roll ouy FX, Sci-Fi and USA networks

Why are they waiting till October to roll ouy FX, Sci-Fi and USA networks | Some stations are just not ready yet. So while Directv might be ready with contracts in place, Fx, Sci-Fi and others are not.
