What's the latest on new national HD channels???

[rad]

The big rumor was that after NFL-ST that we could expect some new HD channels, maybe TNT-HD, Starz-HD and/or Cinemax-HD. Well NFL-ST is over and there was no annoucements made at CES along those lines, except for new channels in MPEG-4 on the Spaceway satellites.

So what's the latest rumor/guess, will we have to wait until this summer for any programming???

Latest I'm hearing is TNT very soon (next week or so), Starz in March. A bunch of that bandwidth went to the O&O network space.

Lot's of conjecture here.

It kinda got off topic though.

i know about that one, the last few pages, they started calling people names

I didn't count ESPN2-HD because the contract is signed. I see that coming any day now as well. Once the contract is signed and a PR released, it isn't "rumour"
