Yesss, coming soon - CMT in HD! Awesome!

[katyon6th]

Oh and Bravo and HGTV in HD will be very awesome.

[2centsworth]

have they figured out how to record a program while watching another on the same TV using a DVR? Until they figure that out I'm sticking to Dish.

Dish lets you do that? How?

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

The DirecTV HR20 has dual tuners. HDTivo has dual tuners.

Recording one program while watching another hasn't been an issue for years.

so does Time Warner.

it was an issue as of 6 months ago for people who only have one Cable Feed to a tv. Dish and Time Warner can somehow split the signal.

No idea. I've had two runs of cable since I started receiving HD three years ago.

Fucking Time Warner.

I still have more HD with Att's U-Verse, on the downside they don't offer fights on PPV.

[Slomo]

Drooooooool....

:depressed

I have HD Tivo, and you need the two cables due to its looking at two sattelites at the same time, let alone record, Tivo has always needed the two cables to record and watch different at the same time.

Yeah you have Dish and they do that, but you don't have NFL sunday ticket and what not :) :smokin


BTW, Food Network HD?

Give me a break :lmao

I signed up for Sunday ticket but the Tivo thing killed the deal for me. Recording my wife's program while I'm watching football is a must.

If it's a step towards providing all channels, even Country Music Television, in HD, I'm for it.

Now it's on the stations themselves to provide HD content.

Very true.

The lead singer in the group Sugarland in HD is a VERYYY nice idea :)

[dougp]

Comcast is supposed to be adding new HD channels - but they're going to up the price. Time to call and threaten to leave so that they'll lower it.

I would've thought you of all people would appreciate it.

[baseline bum]

No Spice Channel HD? What a rip-off.

[Burn531]

Damn I wish Bright House would add more HD channels. I'd be nice to watch the MLB playoffs in HD on tbs.

[T Park]

Just noticed TBS in HD.


That means future baseball playoff games in HD.

Suhweeeet :smokin

[Thunder Dan]

finally the weather channel in HD. I can end my hunger strike

[SAtoDallas]

nor NFL :)

U-Verse has NFL but who cares about that anyways I live in Dallas that's the only team that counts. Bummer is no NBA league pass.
