NEW HD IN OCTOBER

I in no way blame Scott, I'll take speculation/2nd hand info over nothing, most rumors have at least some sliver of truth.

I know there are some HD stations that would be a nice addition, but for the most part everything that has actual content in HD is already there.

People are just number chasing now, how many non HD channels broadcast any significant amount of HD programming?

Charlie Chat Oct 12. Maybe something will be announced then or not. Could also have new channels a few days before or not.

Chicken or the egg? Will the HD come when their is an outlet for them or will no HD be produced because there is no way to show it?

And to be clear, we are number chasing, the number is 100% of all channels in HD at some point.

I would rather see Dish pass on a "HD" channel that has little or no HD content than add them and pay more and have to raise prices.

As a matter of fact its approaching time for Dish to consider cutting some of the HD trash channels and put some pressure on the programming providers to put up or shut up.

I would welcome fewer HD channels if prices could go down.

If an HD channel does not produce 75% of its content in REAL HD content (not upconverted and zoomed SD trash), I say drop them like a wicked stepchild.

Some of my local stations are now producing their own local HD commercials and able to now play syndicated programming in HD in addition to the network HD feeds - its about time for the HD cable/satellite channels to step up to the plate and deliver.

Channels first. Under the same heading as "if you build it, he will come."

Isn't there a rumor that HLN is going HD this month? I saw where Time Warner is adding that this month as an HD channel.

HLN is long overdue. I think it's the last major news channel to be HD.
