HD Net is awsome tonight, watched Smallville and it was excellent, everything was so detailed as was Discovery HD! This is the way HD should be! Can anyone check resolution and bitrate!

Still sharing bandwidth with AMC and HDNet Movies. The three seem to be around 12-13mbps when I checked them, but this can always change on a dime.
I'm guess it's an HD channel too. It should be noted that since the channel is encrypted and in engineering mode it is just seen as data labeled as AMC.
Thanks Digiblur, something for sure is going on, I havn't seen it this good in probally in a year! If the resulution hasn't changed their doing something else because my eyes arn't getting better! Discovey was also awsome, HDNet was pretty good and so was the rest, with the exception of the Voom channels, they looked the same!
I wonder if they meant it to be NGCHD since NGC is currently in free preview, might as well offer the hd version with it
Yeah, I watched part of the Coyote's game last night, and it was outstanding. Coyote's are usually blacked out for me on HDNet, so this was the first time I had seen hockey on there.
AMC? They're mixing SD and HD on one transponder now? It's been a while since I checked out Lyngsat

Yes.. there is a HD stream of 12-13mbps named AMC. That is all we know. But I'm betting it is not really AMC in HD. It's probably the next HD preview channel in testing. They just named it AMC to toy with us!
This is exactly what E* will point to and say this is why they do not need to fix HDNET - because a few people can't tell the difference and make a thread like this

How is it teasing? You saying you want AMC? They edit for time and perhaps content as well as show commercials durinxg the movies so why bother? TCM-HD on the other hand I'd relish.

Sad isnt it?

For your information Fanatic, I can tell the difference and thats why I made the comment about it looking as good as it did! Don't know why it looked good, but it did I just wanted to know if something changed and apparently something did or it would not have looked as good as it did, maybe some people don't pickup everything Dish is doing! So don't tell me I don't know the difference, because I do,nuff said!! When it looks good it does and when it doesn't it doesn't!

Based on this thread, evidence points to the contrary.
HDNET is good compared to typical DishHD. I think this shows that when one is using very good original source material, down-rezzing to 1440x1080, and giving it reasonable bandwidth, that you can produce a fairly good picture. It is sharper than the VOOM channels, has good color saturation, and few compression artifacts. Fine detail on the best programs is better than I've seen on some full-res channels, almost certainly due to the source being of better quality.
It definitely is not as stunning as it was when HDNET was full-res 1920x1080 and routinely getting 15-16Mbps, and using those same excellent source programs. That was truly a wonderful HD experience. I sure hope we get a chance to go back to that standard in the future (but am not holding my breath).

DISH HD channels with nine 1920x1080i (RUSH,
HDNET, HDNMV, TNTHD, HBOHD, HDPPV, DSCHD, ESPHD,
SHOHD). All the other HD channels are 1440x1080i
except the VOOM channels 1280x1080i.

American Movie Classics AMC 287 Tp 7 110° E*8
HD Net (8PSK) HDNET 9422 Tp 7 110° E*8
HD Net Movies (8PSK) HDNMV 9423 Tp 7 110° E*8
One transponder (TP 7 110° E*8 38Mbps) with 2 HD and
1 SD. AMC is what 2-3Mbps so that leaves 34Mbps for 2 HD
Channels of 16Mbps each. Granted its not 19.2Mbps
but 16Mbps per is pretty good.
If I'm quoting incorrect imformation, PLEASE correct me.

AMC sucks since they started showing commercials. I would never watch it again just for that reason. They sold out. Hat's off to TCM for hanging in there. Does any system, cable or otherwise show TCM in HD? Also, are movies on the hd movie channels broadcast like you would see on a dvd upconversion, or blueray type quality?
I'm not sure where you see 1940x1080i or even EPSN at 1080i since ESPN is a 720p channel.
As stated before... we don' t know if AMC is SD or HD or even if it is AMC for that matter. We know it is a stream of engineering only encrypted data named AMC running at 12-13mbps.
Not, really!!
Sounds to me that ur really shooting in the dark with this comment, seems like everyone's a satellite expert/ rocket scientist! Jezzzz
Man, that's exactly happen when you operating by words, not FACTS. Chill out and stop calling by names.
