More HD is here!

For some reason, Sundance Channel said on Twitter that some markets have the channel in HD: https://mobile.twitter.com/SundanceChannel/status/288514177188909056

Very strange...I wonder if this would be like Centric HD or Logo HD (in terms of "HD" programming on the channel)...

I have Sundance HD on Time Warner cable... it was just added a few weeks ago

Do you know their channel numbers?

They could be getting HD feed via fiber. It seems a number of channels are now distributed via fiber. One has to wonder about the future of "the cable neighborhood" feeds on satellite to MVPD's.

Great...I'll now lose sleep tonight over that very disturbing image that you painted!

Absolutely! I also love watching wrestling on SyFy, poker on ESPN, and drag car racing on Soapnet. OK, I made that last one up... I think.

Doh!

I never thought of it that way.

I don't one bit about these new HD channels. I want the Disney channels back in HD but I don't think that will ever happen.

Sundance HD is not available yet from AMC Networks.
Their HD distribution mux on Galaxy 14 only shows AMC HD, Fuse HD, WE HD and IFC HD at this time.
Their SD distribution mux on Galaxy 15 includes Sundance East and West in SD.
Dish can't add it in HD until AMC Networks provide it to them.

Sundance HD is now included in the Galaxy 14 distribution mux.

It will happen after the current contract expires. The only questions are how long will the contract dispute last, how long will the channels be off the air, and how much will our bills increase due to the new agreement.
