No thanks.... Even though I want TV Land, that would be only an even trade for us.

The entire outdoor package?

I know this hasn't been mention, but the real reason why Dish doesn't have TV Land in HD is because Dish is still in their current contract with Viacom. I'm sure TV Land HD will be one of the things along with the digital deal to let Dish subscribers be able to access the shows online and though the apps. Also the other sticking point for when Dish's old contract expires and they negotiate with Viacom for the new deal is Dish's new online only service SlingTV.

So for now, the answer will be not now, but maybe within 5 years.

I'm not sure, but isn't Dish's deal with Viacom set to end sometime between late this year to early next year.

I thought Friends and all the show I cited were shot on film...

Just read some info about Friends and it's saying the opposite of what I said (maybe I was thinking of some other show?). It was actually recorded on film but cropped for broadcast to 4:3. So the masters do have all of the data and that's how they're shown in higher resolution and 16:9 format.

What is this "extra cost" that you speak of?

The extra cost that Premium channel subscribers pay on top of the normal tier rates.

Correct! I'm of the opinion that for the price of the premiums all of them that are available in HD should be in HD, and before they add any new channels or lesser channels. But that's just me.

If your tier doesn't include certain channels, you surely can't be expecting to get them free for the asking.

Most providers offer a tier that includes these channels and there is no extra cost for them if you subscribe to it.

Which has nothing to do with 'extra costs' of Premiums.

I sure wouldn't mind having more of the Encore channels in HD. Presently, exactly 1 out of the 8 Encore channels is in HD. I'd sure like to see more of those in HD way before I'd want to see TVLand in HD...

I think only Encore Action and their main channel have HD feeds.

Currently, DirecTV doesn't carry RetroPlex, IndiePlex, MoviePlex. They do have Encore Action in HD. Dish carries Indie and Retro in HD.

They were supposed to. http://ir.starz.com/releasedetail.cfm?releaseid=747102

Pretty sure Encore Westerns is in HD now, as many movies are now being shown window-boxed instead of pillar-boxed, as they used to be...same on Encore Action...

Yeah, been supposed to for 3 years now.

I disagree. Some customers who move now, loses one of the ions. It's not a large outcry, but for some reason that was one that some people would call in about, when moving arcs.

Chad, Dish no longer even carries Ion West. The channel that replaced it, BUZZ (shopping channel) was also temporarily only on Western Arc before Dish added it to Eastern Arc. BUZZ was later replaced (on both arcs) by World Harvest Television.
