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

Did Sci-Fi HD even get mentioned in the Charlie Chat? I listened to the sound bite regarding new HD in the sticky here - didn't hear mention of it but I did not see the show itself.
I figured it would come up at least as a "coming soon" kinda thing.

makes you wonder, who really knows anything about anything. if the channels were coming soon then i would think they would tell you something as dish is getting slammed right now with complaints of no new real hd. but on the other hand, look at name based recording on 50x series dvr's. they advertised that as "coming soon" for over two years. i guess we'll all have to wait and see. i do have a real hd question though. i have had dish for almost 10 years now. i jumped on the hd babwagon right off the bat. does has some major pixel problems with fast moving scenes. my digital off air tuner(built into the plasma) doesn't ever have these problems. does d* have these issues.

No, not on the new mpeg4 channels. Was a dish customer for 9 years. Had HD from the start. Switched to D and am amazed at the great pq.

zenithtv was referring to the question that jeffdan asked about pixelation on fast moving scenes.

Thanks, wish they would have used the quote so we know what he's talking about.

I've watched quite a bit of HD on Scifi and have yet to see that...

does d* have these issues: NO they don't on the new MPEG4 HD channels. (On the older MPEG2 HD channels yes.)
