bummer

 

[madmadworld]

wish they would leave one on every sat. :rant:

I would have to think QVC, HSN, Classic Arts and Jewelry Television are next to leave since they already have digital feeds ready to go if they ever decide to pull their analog.

 

[Mr Tony]

and the 1st two are in HD also

Jewelry TV has already dropped analog. They have HD and SD signals on Galaxy 23.

was that in the last couple of weeks? I went over that transponder in early September and it was analog with the SD digital. I knew the HD was around awhile ago but then left and analog came back.

I posted here when I first noticed Jewelry gone. I don't know if it had been off for more than 48 hours when I posted.

Shopping networks in HD....what a waste LOL maybe they could sell that wasted bandwidth to the pizza pan people ha ha

 

[Mr Tony]

you'd be amazed at how many people want to see a shipping channel in HD

I don't watch any of them on a regular basis anyway. But, it would be nice to have an ITC analog feed on every sat - helps to ID the satellite.

As for VC2, I still have mine. I guess it's time to throw it into the trash (er, I mean recylcers)?

C-SPAN 2

Yeah that suxs big time just another one down the drain. :rant:

I am saddened that I can no longer watch a bunch of educated crazy people who are on recess from the mental asylum argue over political problems that they created in their heads trying to reconcile. LOL

It's not a waste at all. When I found HSN HD the other week, I was blown away how much better the jewelry crap looked in HD compared to SD (and I did comparisons for a few minutes between the HD and SD feed quality). I then called up my dad and told him to immediately lock up the checkbook/credit cards and change the bank account PINs because HSN HD had launched.

The shopping channel HD services are actually great for DBS providers, too, in a couple of ways.

Everyone wants to be in HD now. Most content on tv nowadays, HD or SD is a joke anyway. With Pizza or Cable your paying a tall monthly ticket for that packaged crap. !sadroll

[Mr Tony]
