How about CNN HD??

[mrsdrgn]

Anyone knows when CNN HD is coming to Dish?

Soon I hope. I recently contacted E* programming about this and here is their response to me...

They have 3 short shows in HD, from what I hear and only HD cameras in 1 studio and the amount of field work they show from other sources, it will take a long time to get it all over to HD, so for now, I would rather see them add things like Sci-Fi, USA or especially Speed...

A local Kansas City News station went HD recently, they did all the studio cameras, field camera, etc and it looks nice. CNN is so big it will take mega money and time to switch.
If E had unlimited bandwidth to do it, sure, but for me it's sure not at the top until they get alot of HD content.

All of their new specials (including one that airs this weekend) are in HD as well. That adds up to at least as much HD content as some of the other "HD" channels like History-HD.

 

[ripnbigc]

I'd rather have Sci-fi.

We already have HDN. One of the actual decent channels from Voom.

 

[mrsdrgn]

The problem with HDN is that it repeats itself all day.

 

[bgsmallwood]

Not only does HDnews have only 1 hour per day run in a loop all day long, they have no investigative reporters, never run in-depth documentaries and have no capability to respond to breaking news with live on scene coverage.

BUT it is in HD!

So is the Dish HD Demo channel. Why don't you watch the Aquarium Tank from the Mirage all day in HD. At least there the picture changes.

They should add CNN-HD and drop HDN. That would be a good trade.

Save the space for FXHD.

Sorry that channel was pulled this week. NO MORE FISH TV.

mrsdrgn,

The Dish HD Demo Channel has been removed, and it was only available from 61.5 which meant that only a small percentage of Dish's HD subs could even see that channel, when it WAS still available.

I think it would be nice to have CNN HD on Dish. I have two problems with HDN; It repeats the whole day, and they never have breaking news. It'd be a good trade (HDN for CNN). Even though they only broadcast a few shows in HD, I think it's worth it.

Cnn Hd

Absolutely see NO need for this channel! Hear enough "bad" news without it 24/7.
Down with CNN .

 

[bgsmallwood]

From what I have read on the D* forums they really like it and say the HD looks great!

 

[adidadi]

Not having this channel will hurt Dish. IMO

 

[skyviewmark]

The quality of this channel is very good.. And their HD Political coverage is blowing all the other channels away. And they have quite a bit of HD programming. Dish needs this one, just like they need every other HD Channel.. No I am not a D* troll.. I am a dealer and a customer of both services. And I only can hope for the day when all this complaining goes away and both companies just have every HD Channel out there. There is never a need to put one channel down just because you personally don't like it. I want HD. I want every channel out there in HD. I switch from my Dish system to my DirecTV system and then back to my Dish System just to see certain channels that one has and the other doesn't. But people that don't really have a clue about a certain channel shouldn't waste their breath putting it down. CNN HD has a great picture, and getting more and more content everyday. Can't wait to see Dish light this up.. And Can't wait to see them light up a lot more.

Will Braves fans be able to receive the 46 games PeachtreeTV carries this year on Dish? Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks
