E! Network

[cypherstream]

Improved variable bit rate encoders. Statistical Multiplexing and careful transponder planning. Mix the right content together (combination of 720p, 1080i, talking heads, action, animation, etc) and you can squeeze an extra channel per tp without changing the modulation scheme. I've been saying this for over a year now. Nice they are finally giving it a shot.

"TruTVHD was the 6th HD channel on a transponder ... it appears to be the same for E!."

I thought they were already putting six on a transponder. I guess it was only five.

They did at most 5 HD + 1 SD on a transponder.

I gotta admit, this has me a little concerned, but if they have the tech to do it, Im OK with it. I just wont want quantity to take over and reduce PQ, like we've seen someone else do. Im pretty happy with PQ at this point, not if it gets worse.

E and Tru were in the top 10 of the latest "hd channel I want survey", so it's what people asked for. Im still agitated that the #1, BBCA, is being overlooked.

i really want bbc america hd, especially with the new season of top gear starting monday! that will be followed by richard hammond's crash course!!

 

[gadgtfreek]

I know!!!

I get all my BBCHD off Amazon Vod in HD, I just cant handle BBCASD.

 

[JerryVolunteer]

TruTV in HD rocks
E!...sucks

Agreed!

i welcome any new HD though. I may not want it but someone will.

I'm sure those people who want 24/7 Kartrashians will be happy

All I care to have on that otherwise awful channel is my weekly dose of making fun of the Kardashians. Aka...The Soup. Everything else on that channel is bottom feeding garbage.

 

[Mr Tony]

is my weekly dose of making fun of the Kardashians. .

TMZ does it almost daily

Ugh...can't stand the gossipy crap, no matter how much they make fun of that brainless group.

If it wasn't for sports, I wouldn't have paid TV. E! is one of the top reasons for that.

 

[The Fat Man]

Not sure if it was said before, but the NBC Comcast merger added E! to the flow of channels that could have Olympic coverage this summer.

Yep...

Sports are the only reality programming I watch

Thanks to the merger, NBCUni either fully owns or partly owns over 20 different cable channels now. Most of them are in HD and who knows if Comcast is making them add all the HD feeds now. Cable | NBCUniversal

Only 2 years late, don't think Kendra is on anymore

 

[charper1]

according to IMDB and Wiki it wasn't in 16:9 HD anyway.. it is still listed in production; likely in hiatus and soon to be killed off; no loss

 

[charper1]

I need to add to this list: IMDb: Annoying, pointless, stupid, useless tv shows

Very interesting because it makes me wonder how much more high definition channels can get added.
