What programming is on SpikeHD? Looking at their offerings, do they produce a lot of stuff or is it rerun stuff that they show?

Was Star Trek DS9 or Voyager shot on film?

It says they all of them (except the two RSN's) will launch on Monday. I am told by Dish that they will be on by 5pm ET tomorrow.

Looks like we are just missing the Starz channels which I spoke with someone last week who mentioned they are in the works!

Aren't they also missing the additional HBO HD channels as well?

If you watch Giants games, trust me when I say you haven't missed much. Over the last 2 weeks, CSNBA HD has only shown about 2 of the Giants games in HD (counting today's game). It is only a part time game only station as well. The A's on the other hand seem to be shown in HD a lot on this station.

Ahh, alright, I never got into CSI. I would like to see addition of Spike because at some point I'm sure there will be stuff I will want on there. I want FX b/c they always seem to be showing movies that I like but look terrible in SD!
