You might want to ask that in the huge thread that already exists about the CES and/or DirecTV announcements. At least that is where most users are reading/writing now.
That's the problem with the HUGE thread; you go do your actual paying job for a couple hours, and there is 8 - 10 pages of posts.
I was surprised by the Sci Fi HD claim; but will not believe it until I see something about it from NBC/Sci Fi, I don't know if I will believe it.
I just checked the NBC Media Village website; which is where they place all of their press-releases, and contact information about each of their networks. Nothing at all there about Sci Fi HD.
I am half-tempted to call the Sci Fi Publicity person and say "I am calling from SatelliteGuys.us, can you comment on DirecTV's claim that they will provide Sci Fi HD in 2007? "
I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't lots of smoke... and no fire to support it.
I'll send you $5 paypal if you do!
I just called SCI FI's publicity person; she knew nothing about that. She asked me to email her the information.
Well, according to engadget, these are AMONG the stations D* will be adding in HD this year:
A&E
National Geographic
Bravo
NFL Network
Cartoon Network
SciFi Channel
CNN
Speed
Food Network
TBS
FX
The History Channel
HGTV
The Weather Channel
MTV
USA Network
Assuming they aren't like TNTHD and just distorting and up-ressing most of their content, I would love to see some of those in HD. Of course, TWC HD is a bit strange to me, but I suppose looking at a weather map in 1080i will be better than in SD.
