What heppened to the 2 new HD channels

[bnewt]

that were being discussed a couple of weeks ago? Were the names ever mentioned? What about dates?

 

[Brodieb]

There were discussions of BBC America HD and QVC HD being added "soon". I don't think anyone is still holding their breath at this point.

I think BBCAHD is coming, certainly the network is mentioning HD.

The last thing I heard there is NO pay TV service cable, satellite, or fios who has BBCAHD lit up.
There was no explanation as to why.
So I would not be so quick to blame E*

As others have mentioned, there was never any credible information offered that indicated these three channels (BBCA-HD, QVC-HD and ID-HD) were actually going to be offered by E*. What happened was that there were three new uplinks of these channels.

I love to hear about the new uplinks but realize that there is absolutely no guarantee that they will go live.

D* won't add much of anything until early 2010 after next sat launch. BESIDES, we already have more than they do anyway. Keep up.

Dream on, my friend.

Dish is just waiting for the next Charlie Chat to give you all the new info and new channel announcements. They might turn on a couple new channels before hand just so they can keep saying they are the leader in HD during the chat.

Yes I quoted the wrong poster I should have quoted bd2.

lay off the crack pipe direct has the most hd channels, although im sure you could skew numbers like dish does to make that not seem tobe the case.
How many fulltime rsn's does dish have in hd? oh yeah thats right zero

When it comes to National Channels that are not Sports Packages, Dish Network has more. When you add Sports channels, DirecTV has more. So you are both right.
