Anyone know when Cablevision is adding Ion HD, i heard March 16?

I've seen ION-HD on C-Band...ya ain't missing much....well except for stretch o vision

Anyone know when Ion HD will be on?

 

[TNGTony]

Hopefully NEVER. There is no HD on ION HD and then there's 20 hours a day of infomercials!

It will be a waste of space like alot of HD channels, that don't show much in HD

maybe that's what cablevision was waiting for?
i have a feeling we'll get bbca-hd on launch date

Well as much as I'd like to see that happen, we got the standard def Planet Green channel at launch and it wasn't until last month that NYC got the HD version (the rest of us get it soon). Both Planet Green and BBCAmerica are distributed by Discovery, so I don't see CV making a major shift on the status quo here.

Although I will admit Planet Green was technically a rebranding of Discovery Home, which we'd had for some time.

79.703 is coming through as 1080i ION programming. I haven't watched it much, though. It doesn't come through the cable box, only with a QAM tuner.
