It is not a movie channel IMO, so it is edited and has adds. I see it more like a horrors fans WE or Lifetime type channel. Remember not everybody has an HD set. I prefer Monstershd , but will watch chiller. The problem with HD is it spoil you for everything else. You assume everybody has HD and monstersHD to top it off. It is an addition and I will watch and enjoy the series more than anything else. Useless is in the eyes of the beholder. I love my HD and wish every channel was in 720p on up , heck I would even take 480p. I see any addition of a channels that airs decent content edit, SD or other wise great. The Hd will come in time as demand for it increases. My guess is the ramp up will start once more HD set are sold (2009) and more people see what they are missing without HD. Then the SD outrage will hit the mainstream and affect bottom lines. Until then I will enjoy my HD channels, and make the best out of the SD. Just remember HD still is not in the majority of homes yet. We know that Hd vs SD is no contest, other will learn in time. At the risk of upsetting people my example..I would watch Chiller alot more than speedtv(even if it was in HD). I noticed people really want that at this site,me I would rather have AMC or Encore in HD first. See, what is useless to one person is important to another, neither is really useless.
