Sci-Fi HD...when can we watch?

**Scott Greczkowski** · 12-11-2007 11:43 AM

Just an update.

There is still are "issues" they wanted to get them up Friday. I was told that if they were going to have the channels sit there they would not have put them on 110 wasting space. As they took down two revenue generating PPV channels to put up these channels.

I have no idea what these "issues" are but I am concerned as they removed the HD remaping from those two channels the other day.

I am keeping my ear to the ground and will report if and when I hear anything more. Keep your fingers crossed guys.

Thanks Scott for the updates, it will be nice when these channels get their quirks worked out, and good point about being on 110 I havent heard one person say anything about that! that should put a end to they dont have contract rumours.

Thanks for the update, Scott. It's appreciated!

Seeing the remap removed on the uplink report has concerned many of us, as you can imagine.

*fingers crossed*

Yeah PPV are a waste compared to getting up more National HD Channels. Maybe they will add them back tomorrow so for now we will just half to wait. But thanks for the info Scott as always..

Well, to be fair Scott's latest post doesn't explicitly say the "issues" are purely technical. Even if his "inside information" indicates it IS technical, there could be more to it than that.

I absolutely agree that placing the channels on 110 shows E* intended to launch them but the holdup could be technical, could be contractual or it could be a combination of the two.

It will be interesting to see if Scott gets stepped on by a horse with his ear to the ground listening for further info about Dish Network. Be careful Scott your inside info is invaluable to us

Scott, your message isn't really clear. Are you saying that, as far as you know, E*is still going to go live with SciFi HD? Also, when you say they "removed the remaping", what exactly does that mean?
