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

I don't consider ESPNU-HD "number chasing".

bnewt,

You will not see AMC HD anytime soon on Dish. Rainbow Media owner of AMC have pending litigation over the removal of VOOM from Dish Network. Until that is resolved no Rainbow Media channels in HD (AMC, IFC, WE, and Sundance).

I dont watch ESPN much and the others have so many commercials as to make watching anything a painful experience, even with a DVR. But I suspect I am in the minority so if any HD is to be added they would be good choices.

Your obsession with this topic does not negate that fact that he thinks it would be "nice in HD"

The only thing Rainbow has to gain with holding out on an HD version for Dish is fewer viewers week after week when they are busy watching HD content.

It's not just Dish. Cablevision/Rainbow withholds HD content (AMC, IFC, etc.) from DirectTV and Verizon, as well.

Wow, so they are losing even more viewers than what I was originally thinking. That has got to be one of the worst moves one could make with your content. I can't speak for everyone else, but of my TV viewing time, maybe 5% is SD viewing, and 99% of that is sports on ESPNU or when Dish fails to turn on the HD version of one of their RSNs.
