Once you've gotten your fill of Law and Order episodes, your HD content menu declines dramatically.  | |

I swear they stopped making new content for that channel oh let's see about 2 years ago. But all in all I enjoy voom for battlestar galactica in HD and food network HD and a little discovery channel. Other than that i give it a big ole MEHHHHHH :P | |

-Discovery HD (one that mirrors the regular discovery channel, a-la fox/fox HD - the DHD currently does not have any programs i routinely watch)
-History Channel HD (null said)

clubs: | OTA still wins There's only a few good HD channels out there. I only watch FOX-HD (OTA), YES-HD, HBO, and Discovery-HD. Instead of cramming a million "HD" channels into one pipe, give us on-demand HD. | |

| claims I think with DirecTV, they get their inflated HD numbers by counting every local HD feed from every city they carry as a separate channel, even though the average user would only be able to see the four or five locals in his area. It makes sense that they would need to think in terms of capacity to carry HD locals to more and more markets, but for the average customer the impact isn't that impressive.

| could be You guys do know that discovery channel is putting out something like 6 or 7 more hd channels in the next year right?
Then you have the voom channels, channels like food network hd and hgtv hd and thats maybe 24 hd channels right there.
Then if cablevision puts out an hd version of news 12 and any other channels it owns.
There are the hd channels comming up and cablevision has the capacity due to switching over some of the less watched channels over to switched video. | |

They have some good documentery stuff on there. And Alton Brown is great to watch. I have learned more from him than most of my time watching other educational stuff on TV. He is worth a watch. | |

I have learned more from him than most of my time watching other educational stuff on TV. He is worth a watch. Me too. Food Network is good and the food looks great in HD. I saw it at a friends. It looks like you can reach through the TV and grab it! It's not a waste of HD at all unlike TNT where you get mostly upconverted and streched content except for the games.
If they get can get all the movies channels in HD that would be worthwhile. HBO is converting all of their 20 something movie channels to HD so thats good. So if we can get all of the Starz, Showtime, Encore and The Movie Channel in HD too, it would be great. HD is for movies and sports and anyway.
I could see something like Nick at Nite being useless for HD but not Food Network. | |
