"a significant expansion of HD channels in the coming months"

[RemyM]

Well this certainly sounds promising.

"We are pleased to add these unique, high-quality networks to our robust array of high-definition programming, and we plan to build on these additions with a significant expansion of HD channels in the coming months," said Theresa Chillianis, Cablevision's vice president of video product management. "Our high-capacity fiber network gives Cablevision the ability to continually exceed our customers' expectations and deliver additional value through our products, including the best HD programming with no additional fees or charges. We are confident our customers will enjoy Discovery HD Theater and National Geographic HD, in addition to the high-definition programming we already provide, and the new HD channels we plan to offer."

That would be a great thing. What does everyone think this means ? Will they add VOOM ? ESPN2HD ? HDNET ? What does everyone think. I know I am dreaming of lots of new HD channels.

i think it means that when dtv starts adding all their hd channels their is going to be an explosion of hd channels comming to the market.

I think it means we get a VOOM HD tier when they have switched HD video ready.

 

[hbk409]

switched video is ready thats how all of the international channels are being broadcast.

I know they are using it for the internationals, but Rutledge said they will be able to use SDV for HD by the "end of the year".

I think it means we get a VOOM HD tier when they have switched HD video ready.

Personally, I would rather have some other HD channels that are out there or coming instead of VOOM.
