Wgn Hd?

[TalonDancer]

Will it be in the dish Hd only pack?

Almost certainly.. err... absolutely. But after looking at WGN America's programing, it is already on my "why bother" list along with most of the other channels with HD in their logo that Dish added since SciFi HD and USA HD

Seriously folks, from here on in it is all about adding channels with HD in their logo for the lowest possible price -- quantity not quality -- and heaven forbid not abut HD content (can you say WFN HD?).

Why change a thread about WGN HD into yet another Voom thread?

I've concluded that the I-miss-Voom'ers are even more repetitive than the VOOM channels were.

That's funny considering all the whiners for SciFi were worried about a one hour a week show with about a dozen episodes a year. WGN just carrying Cubs and Sox four or five times a week already probably has SciFi's HD output beat. Especially the way things are going this year, there's probably more interest in those games among the general population than in BSG or whatever. USA HD is a good channel, but I don't want to hear anything about SciFi.

Agreed. The stuff I watched on USA was pretty good. ie: Indiana Jones , etc. But SciFi is thus far pretty crappy. The other day the guide showed they were showing a number of Star Trek TNG episodes. I tuned to them and saw SD in a 4:3 format. Unwatchable.
Star Trek Enterprise that you can watch elsewhere in beautiful wide screen HD is also unwatchable on SciFi.

Maybe SciFi will get better someday.

FWIW I'm not picking on WGN HD. ALL sports voyeur programing/channels (whether or not they are HD) are on my "who cares" list

4:3 is the OAR , TNG is not available in HD and may never be due to the work required. Stargate Atlantis is in HD but I have yet to see any SG-1 episodes in HD

It remains to be seen whether TNG gets converted to HD. TOS had been converted to HD (I’ve seen some of it) and it looks fabulous and it was no doubt a costly venture. TNG would probably be more costly due to the greater number of episodes but they would probably do a season at a time to mitigate some cost and would do the next season depending on how well sales were going. If there’s money to be made, the TNG conversion will happen.

Right on!
