Good Question. I used ot subscribe to HD Bronze -- which I thought became the AT 100 package + HD today. The Dish web site says the CD Music channels are included in the AT 100 package, but even after a "check switch" my Guide shows them to be extra cost - DUH.
BTW Dish is so proud of A&E HD they don't even list it as part of the "DishHD Programming" yet.

No, but it is listed in their programming guide. I just wish it would tell you what shows are actually in HD. I watched CSI:Miami last night at 6 and it was.
I don't mind that really right now though. I really never watched A&E before, but I do like CSI:Miami. I don't really watch new ones because I'm normally in bed by about the time it comes on. So on those days when I'm flipping around and can't find anything on tv, I'll just flip over to A&E and watch CSI:Miami.
I agree that Csi Miami doesn't have the pop of CBSHD, but since I lost that Dec 1st... this is the next best thing... Now need a Spike TVHD for Csi 
Hey, not me. I just said that I'm glad to have it. I don't mind if CSI:Miami is all they show in HD because that's pretty much all that I'll watch on there. I do love 24 but's it's not really a show where I could say "Hey, look 24 is on. Let's watch that." You kind of have to commit yourself to the whole season. DON'T BOTHER ME ON MONDAY NIGHTS!
Any add ons are great Imho as all I got when I first subbed was CBS, HBO, SHO and DiscoveryHD... (only so many times you can watch the mischievous meerkats Lol)
I watched part of a CSI last night and Horatio was actually doing investigative work. Of course, it was as stupid as someone throwing a bullet slug into the trash and he looked in there and saw it...
Does A&E show the other CSI shows ?? To be honest, I quit watching Miami 'cause of Horatio.

All that I have seen on there is Miami. That's actually my favorite of all of them though. Maybe it's because I'm from Florida and my sister lives in Miami so I've been around that area a lot.
Discovery HD Theatre only shows real HD (no up-converts). I think many of the VOOM channels are also real HD. I mean channels like Equator, RAVE, etc.
Also, on HDMovies, they seem to run a lot of older film-based movies and converting many types of film to HD is not a downgrade.

I agree that A&E should have launched with *more* hd content. However, the 4:3 SD content plays sooo much better on the HD Feed than the SD feed. I would rather have 1 channel of HD quality SD than 10 channels of just plain SD...
There's no such thing as HD quality SD. The thing is, the DBS companies have been overcompressing SD for so long that you're finally seeing SD quality SD.
