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

[skullvankrush]

I just want to see up-converted Twilight Zones and ECW in HD.



Oh well, at least I've still got USA HD...oh wait, no I don't. Come on, Dish!

Stargate Atlantis is ok (it is a spin off of the far superior (but too long) Stargate SG-1.

Battlestar Galactica is however some of the best television ever made.

I agree. Battlestar is some of the best TV out there. But, if you're going to watch it, start from the beginning (the Mini-Series). Anything else will not do it justice.

Netflix has season 1, but I don't see the miniseries.

The BSG Season 1 DVD has the miniseries on it.

Just FYI, though, UHD is repeating the entire run of BSG starting tomorrow night (though not the miniseries). They're starting with the first hour long episode "33" -- which is perhaps one of the best hours of television ever produced. I'm psyched, because, except for when UHD showed the miniseries a few months back, I've never seen BSG in HD.

According to the Universal HD website, this is not the case:


Universal HD > Schedule

Did you see it advertised somewhere?

I never could find it on Universal's website either, but it is in the Dish Network program guide. Also, I think it was pointed out in the "Satellite & Cable TV HD Programming" forum too.

It has been advertised on UHD for a while and there was a press release posted here somewhere with the details. It is in the program guide and my DVR is set. I am glad I held off on buying the HD DVD of this. I would have been ticked.

The Univseral HD website is crap when it comes to their schedule.

I first saw it pointed out on AVS, then checked UHD website, which doesn't have it. But then I checked TitanTV, and it does list it. Others on AVS also say that UHD has been advertising BSG's return as part of their "Sci-Fi Saturday," along with reruns of Threshold. UHD's web site doesn't seem to be kept up to date very well.

I'm a fairly new dish customer, and they lied to me big time when I signed up about new stuff coming. I wouldn't count on them now for anything myself.

Posting this from my ... err my kids' new Wii just to see what it is like. What a pain to type all this even with the predictive text turned on.

You know you wanted it. I am a proud adult Wii owner. It's ok to admit you like to play. I just wish the silly thing could output at least 720p. (Grrrrr.) By the way, IMO the Wii's Opera browser is useless. I hope you didn't pay for it.

It shows up on the DISH guide, so I guess UHD's web site is incorrect.

Thanks,
