Great - now my wife can watch Passions in HD. At least the pain of my wife watching this while I am home won't be as bad in HD.

Thats nice. Glad it takes priority over the mpeg2 channels

Thanks for the update though.

Is 101 a local channel? How many hd channels does Direct still have mpeg2? Any plans to change all to mpeg4 this year?

Is 665-1 SUNaHD new as well? I had to add it to my favorites. Looks like D* added the alternate HD feed for Sun Sports I guess.

I could be wrong, but I doubt that Passions will be in HD. It will show increased PQ from being on an HD channel, of course, but I have seen no announcements saying anything about it going HD.

It was always in SD from the NBC NY HD channel, unfortunately.

TV Listings and Movie guide: Zap2it.com lists it as HD. I will check it out when I get home from work.

And the D* online guide has the HD logo for Passions as well. Of course, that could be an error.

Now lets hope the other MPEG2 channels get the MPEG 4 aas well

The 101 is a DirecTV branded music, variety, and entertainment channel.

Thank you ScoBuck, the PQ looks amazing, I've been watching it for hours now.
I love Project MyWorld.

Interesting that it was added automatically to my custom guide list. It came up before the traditional 3 am PST and on a Thursday instead of Wednesday.

As of this morning 101HD has disappeared from my HR20. All I have is the old regular 101SD.

+1, same here.

So Scobuck, what happened? Should the threads title be changed to 24x7x1

Great news! Now, if they would just show something of interest to somebody outside of teenagers.
