Yes.
Several months ago.
(Can't find a logo for Fuse...I've seen varying reports as to whether it actually exists. The other three are on Comcast already)
EDIT...All four are uplinked on Galaxy 14

I just dropped Ultimate altogether w/o the $5 fee. I had complained earlier, but keep it to see if anything would be added to compensate. Since the latest Uplinks haven't been exclusive to Ultimate, I dropped it. If they drop the price or add new exclusive channels, I may come back.
We've tried to figure it out in other threads...there's just not much else to add. WealthTV, Mojo, maybe this MavHD if it actually exists. Outdoor Channel 2HD if it's really a separate channel. Supposedly Soundtrack Channel is launching an HD version.
Yah, I've thought about it, but there's nothing out there that isn't or won't be in another package w/ HD essentials. In another thread I suggested maybe a premium HD, but that's just not fair to premium subscribers. Perhaps get rid of Ultimate and tier those channels into essentials depending on your SD package (e.g. AT100 gets Universal, HDNet Movies; AT250 gets those plus SmithHD and MGMHD) and leave WFN as an ala carte.
Those channels, including IFC HD, AMC HD, and WE HD are owned by rainbow media, the same company that owns Voom.

I wonder how that is going to work out for Dish.
Maybe Rainbow's right hand doesn't care what Voom's left hand is doing.
Wish I would have seen this thread when published. . . this is crazy! C'mon man get a damn life. Someone always wanting to get a lawyer and sue someone! Are u kidding me? Let it go!
One does not normally expect such wisdom from a mere uncooked blob of dough with a chef's hat.
It's just a simulcast like all the rest. Why would the regular version be uncensored and the HD version be censored?
Plus, you know..."uncut" is in their slogan and logo...
What you have to love is a poster that tries to impress everyone with his huge "tech" setup! When, in reality, he's probably watching a 9" B&W on stolen cable from his neighbor!!
I need to get out more often...Yes.

shreeeeeek, eeeeeeeeeeeek!
I can hardly wait for We HD... but seriously... I don't think most women care as much about HD as we men. My beloved mother-in-law has been caught in the act of watching A&E SD on 50 occasions while babysitting in my home. I keep showing her the HD channel with the better picture quality (even if it isn't an HD program) and she just doesn't get it. She keeps tuning to the SD version of the channel.... same with TNT... She is a huge Lifetime watcher so I am sure when we get Lifetime HD or Lifetime Movie Network HD, she'll still watch the SD version of the channel. I just think most women don't appreciate HD. Like, many of them don't see that much of a difference.
Most HD channels up until now have been aimed at men (sports networks, History channel, Discovery channels, SciFi, etc). It'll be interesting to see if the women start demanding new HD channels from their providers the way men do. I haven't heard much uproar yet.
But anyway... AMC HD would be great to get with DirecTV. My cable provider (BHN) aired uncut episodes of that wonderful show "Breaking Bad" on their HD Showcase on demand channel. What a great show. I'm not sure of all things why they decided to air Breaking Bad HD since they don't even offer AMC HD, but I wasn't complaining. Hopefully DirecTV will get this soon. I did however watch an episode on the regular AMC of Breaking Bad and they cut out the foul language. Hopefully AMC HD won't do that. The show was much better aired the way it was meant to be while in HD.
As far as IFC, I don't really watch the channel. Don't they either have commercials or cut out sex and language? It seems I remember watching something on there once and being pissed about them cutting out parts or something. When I watch a movie, I want to watch the actual movie.
Don't forget they now own Sundance Channel. There are plans to launch HD version maybe as early as 2009.
