Crime and Investigation HD (The Nash Bridges Channel)

It replaced Smithsonian HD.

BET JAZZ HA HA HA!
I'd rather have QVC HD

Showcase is part of Showtime of course.

Didn't know that Showcase was a premium channel and part of Showtime! You learn something new every day!
Plus... I don't get Showtime anyway!

I mean, it didn't even exist yet, but it was really one of the most requested?... Hmmm...

The idea that TONS of people are requesting BET Jazz HD, and that is why they are adding it is straight out laughable. By that logic, why hasn't Fox News HD been added to the TurboHD packs?

Come on, I would bet my life that more people have requested Fox News HD in the Turbo packs than have requested BET Jazz HD

More Upcoming National HD Channels!
NickHD
ComedyCentralHD
MTVHD
VH1HD
CMTHD
BETHD
SpikeHD

So if I am looking at the above channels correctly ... the only one not in the BronzeHD package would be BETHD ... correct?

Edit:

Assuming these channels (all but BETHD of course) get added to TurboHD Bronze ... for $39.99 the DDA TurboHD Bronze package is looking real attractive to me right now ...

Depends if Charlie tries to screw TurboHD customers again like he just tried to with the two new Fox HD channels.

This is one reason why I typed "BronzeHD" versus "TurboHD Bronze".

charlie should have negotiated contracts with speed and fx when he signed the hd contracts with foxnews ans fbc!!! Bad business practices, would have saved him money in the long run.

Yep Looks that way. Thats a great value IMO. Better then the Turbos.
And Atleast $10 less then D* Choice pack and HD. Even Nicer!
