Will Star Trek Enterprise be in HD on SciFi? I have only been watching on HDNet, but it would be awesome to have it on both. Of course, HDNet is commercial free.

Bingo. I would just watch it there. I'm still annoyed that SciFi couldn't pick up Enterprise before it was canceled. I think Cuban would have if he could. Rumors were circling that he was going to try and pick up The Black Donellys if the first season DVD sales went well.

I don't think SciFi tried hard enough to pick up Enterprise. I think it would've done well, but likely Berman & Co. wanted too much $ for it.

yeah i agree, i think it would have done very well on Scifi...they could have gone more in depth with the "trekkie" stuff

Assuming they wanted the standard amount for something like that (no guarantee), simply making Enterprise would have been extremely expensive. And Sci-Fi was already in the middle of making season 2 (I think) of BSG. There probably wasnt enough money to do both. If this is so, Sci-Fi made a very good business decision to say the least. Spend alot of money on your own very popular and critically acclaimed show, or spend alot of money picking up someone elses failed show: Not much of a choice unfortunately because when Star Trek is well made its very good.
