Seeing a good number of channels will STILL not be in HD, I would think they would keep the offer with SD and HD.

Just so you know, there is lots of content in SD that is worthwhile. And uprezing SD as many channels do is little better than zooming it on your monitor.
What possible difference can it make whether CNN or the Weatherhead Channel is in HD? Other than sports and movies originally produced in HD, I could give a rats behind. Crap in HD is still crap. And quality in SD trumps crap in HD every time.  |

Guys - Not to stir up the pot, but I question the authenticity of the document. Take a really close look at it. I could be wrong and if so, D* needs to work on the quality of their presentations. Just my observation...

Transmissions must be digital, none of this affects Sat. There is nothing that says QVC will have to be HD, EVER.
I find it funny that people think all channels should spend the dough to go HD but not charge anymore. When HDTV owners are in the majority, we'll prob have this luxury. There will be many that have non digital tv's for some time that will use set top boxes to get the digital transmissions. This means channels will have to simulcast at an expense which they should be able to recoup.

For alot of people I assume that what they offer or will offer in HD would suffice.
Not saying I would go the only HD route myself, but with the lineup of channels that may/should come out, id look very hard at it if it were offered since it would cover most of what i watch. And yes that includes CNN, weather channel, fox news, ect. Dont see why some people seem to not want these in HD.

--SNIP-- | For the most part that is true. I have started watching shows that I never would have watched, because they were in HD. I can't stand to watch anything in SD now & have both a Blu-ray & HD DVD player to help in my quest to avoid all things SD.
I could give a rat's ass about your content obsession. Right back at ya
