DirecTV HD Channel Lineup

[Jason Whiddon]

No one has said forever.

Thats my point, many seem to think we who that are grandfathered will be forever, which i dont see the that happening. I dont expect them to continue to add all these channels for $10 either.

It is all of the non-simulcast HD channels that are not tied to an SD channel. HDNet, HDNet Movies, and Universal HD will be a part of the pack, along with MHD, Smithsonian HD, and MGM HD.

That stinks, the only ones on that list I watch would be HD Net.
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

Some stations are just not ready yet. So while Directv might be ready with contracts in place, Fx, Sci-Fi and others are not.

I don't know if your comment comes from thinking that no cartoons will look better in widescreen HD, or if you think adults don't watch cartoons, but I'm afraid you would be wrong on both counts.

BTW since a few people asked, this document was from a larger document that was several pages long.

This was the only page they would copy for me, they said the rest of it could be traced back to them.

I am still working to get the rest of that document.

Hey Scott,
Any progress getting the rest of the document?

[mdicki01]

No its not that i dont watch cartoons, who doesnt? The last channel I think of when I think HD is the cartoon network. There is other channels I would like to see rolled out first

Hey Family Guy and Futurama are already in high def as far as I know. Why not on Cartoon Network?

Actually, they're not.
