Coming October SRC HD ch 298 - no extra charge

Plus a new HD package called HD Extra @$4.99/month (Freeview until Jan 5/07)
279 - Discovery HD - coming October
278 - A&E HD - coming October
277 - National Geographic HD - coming December
276 - Showcase HD - coming December

So much for HD at NO EXTRA charge
 
Apparently, according to another site; this press release is still an internal SC document.

I have no problem with it if the HD Extra is a bundle. I will just drop Prime Time and replace it with HD Extra. The only channel I would lose, that I watch, would be WTBS but I would gain National Geographic HD and Discovery HD.

Just 1 more reason, why SC subs (new and existing) should only buy HD receivers - even those without HD tvs

Is 'SRC HD' short for Star Choice? What in the world would be on such a critter? 24 hours of how to use my remote? ;-)

Societe Radio Canada (French version of the CBC. Not the same programming)

Will there be an MPEG4 upgrade as rumored before?

Next year apparently. But existing HD channels will stay MPEG2 so that Cancom does not have to replace existing cable head end receivers.
