Finally MSNBC in HD, so as Travel Channel and WGN America. Too bad that HMC is in the HD Extra pack.

 

[gadgtfreek]

They claimed a few would go to HD Xtra only. Id hope so to better justify the price.

 

[GailLA]

YEAH CUBS Fans rejoice WGN in HD

It has been a long time coming but it is finally here. I'm glad I kept emailing and requesting it!

AFAIK, the only of today's HD that is part of HD Extra is the Hallmark Movie Channel HD. When I tuned in a few minutes ago, I was still getting an 721 blank screen. I called and that was fixed in seconds though it is still grayed out in my guide.

Just checked again -- it is no longer grayed in the guide either.

 

[gadgtfreek]

Yeah, it was the only one today, but IIRC, satracer said it would get more down the road. I guess if you see any HD only channels show on the list, itll be added to that pack.

Hopefully Travel channel has stuff in HD later in the day, what they have on now fills the screen but is definitely not HD... (infomercials) ...

If Travel isn't showing HD thats D*'s doing.

I can assure you Travel has a TON of HD, and has been this way over a year.

[Rey]

except for probably the infomercials while at was at work this morning. got home at 11 am and there was HD programming all the way until a moment ago.

 

[Hemi 6.1]

Nice addtions, But still way behind. How long do we have to wait for the next 5?
June 19 th??

 

[Lkr]

ESPNU is a welcomed addition even though there really is nothing on there I am interested in
WGN America is nice for baseball
I'm sure others in the family will enjoy Hallmark movie HD

 

[gadgtfreek]
