> G4 & TechTV will be upgrading to form one network < Quite an "upgrade". 2 dedicated channels merged into one. Half the time previously spent on eachs content. Discard one entire channel's worth of content. These bogus "spin" claims are really annoying, and an insult to our intelligence...

Call me a contrarian, but... I wish there was one more option in the list: None. Since the poll question asked what channels should be added "now", I'd rather they didn't do anything that would degrade the quality of the HD channels any further. As other topics have indicated, their quality...

> I have to add that Cinemax HD has a lot of artifacts/ pixelation during fast moving scenes. It's not so terrible that it is unwatchable, but it is *very* noticeable. Same thing goes for SHOWHD. < Thanks a lot, Jay! This is really good info to have. More is better, but not at the cost of...

How's the PQ on the Cinemax-HD feeds, and are they real HD or upconverts? OAR? The reason I ask is because I was planning on selecting HBO, but just did a count of the films I'd be interested in seeing on both channels (hbo.com lists both lineups a month at a time), and was surprised to see...

Thanks very much, guys. That's exactly the kind of info I was looking for. FAYRICH commented: > For quantity of HD, either Showtime or Starz would be the best value for the price. They both have 3 HD channels while the others only have 2. More choice was the criteria for me choosing the...

To explain a bit further, if I was trying to "take full advantage of the service", I'd also be signing up for 2 receivers now. It would make more sense to have 2 installed, then drop one, than get one and pay mondo bucks for the 2nd one later. However, by the time I'd really have any need...

Is there any concensus on which Plus Pack is the best, either in terms of OAR offerings, PQ, etc? Or any other factors folks might care to share? I think the VaVaVoom package would be overkill for me, especially before they get the DVRs out, and I'd like to lock in the Basic Voom at $39.90...
