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

[msmith198025]

Let me get this straight.... You switched to Dish, and now, due to the lack of SciFi HD might switch back to Direct, and it won't be until February before you even have a TV capable of watching it?!?! Wouldn't it make sense to at least wait until then? Doesn't it seem sort of wasteful to keep switching back and forth? Or did I completely misread your post?

I read it as he was going to wait until Feb. to do anything.

I think we had to be a much happier people before all this technology!

Yeah, that's what my wife says, too. Before we got the 622, all we had to worry about with the 501 was when the weather caused reception problems.

Of course, we have to be patient as we wade thru the constant (and quick) evolving technology of HDTV and it's programming (and I wouldn't trade anything in the world for it), but at times it is frustrating...

Before SciFi HD goes live? I don't think it'd be uplinked this far in advance...

Scott: Any updates?

First off, I'd like to say how much I love this forum. I have been reading for a while and thought I'd join in this fun discussion! It doesn't look like SciFi is going to broadcast any true HD programming until SG-A returns January 4th. Until then, it's Z list movies and marathons of programs shot in SD. So if E* turns it on today, it's stretchy bad movies and repeats until after the first of the year anyway! I for one like that E* gets the bugs worked out before we get the product. My sister has D and is always complaining that it is buggy.

With the Writers Strike still going on, I would love to see some of the reruns and especially Tin Man in HD. I've been getting fixes of BSG on UNIHD but that's not enough and it just kills me to have to zoom in to fill my screen on SGA. I might even start watching Flash again if it was high def!

grumble....hope.....grumble....hope

E gets bugs worked out before the product? When did this start happening?
