agreed. This is the only one I'm missing that I really wantAfter they add TruTV HD then everything I watch will be in HD.
NatGeiWild-HD, TCM-HD & the brand new 24/7 Disney Junior-HD would be nice. It would also be nice if us west coast folks could have Disney Channel West in HD.
NatGeoHD is on top of my list.
agreed. This is the only one I'm missing that I really want
VH1 Classic would be nice but the videos werent shot in HD![]()
That ship sailed with the introduction of the H21. Right or wrong, they can't go back now.I don’t know why DTV would waste bandwidth by providing local HD stations while these same stations are already being broadcasted in HD over-the-air (OTA). DTV should have simply provided a mechanism to merge these OTA-HD signals into its receiver instead of re-broadcasting them from the satellite (wasteful redundancy).
You seem to be missing the fact that CONUS and spot beam are not interchangeable. Spot beam frequencies are used many times over the breadth of the CONUS coverage area so they cannot be used CONUS.It’s just wasting valuable transpondent slots and satellite bandwidth that could have been used to provide more HD channels in CONUS.

I see FS San Diego is there now... does that count as new HD? (*sarcasm)...

because I'm sure those markets where either there are nets missing or are too far away those folks would LOVE that....yep hook up an antenna to get 1 OTA station in the market or get satellite and get all 4 nets
