Hey, More HD
I always love finding more HD. While I rarely do it, I was scanning most of the channel lineup, just looking for something different after watching another good episode of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations.
The HD channels are in the 700s, with a few Starz HD channels right before it, in the high 600s.
Randomly, at 195 and 196 were USA HD and CNBC HD. I tried to tune in, but both were black. A simple reset of my cable box cured that and now I’m watching the US Open in HD on USA. I assume both channels were added for the US Open, similar to how TBS HD was quickly added for MLB playoffs last year. Unless, of course, they were added a couple of weeks ago for the Olympics, and I simply missed out (which is more likely, and I’d rather think out loud than go back and edit this paragraph).
Either way, USA is one of those stations I’ve been wanting to get in HD. Hopefully most programs and movies air in HD and not stretch-o-vision.
Now if they could only add Sci-Fi HD before Battlestar Galactica starts up again…
Update Aug 30: Well, both new HD channels are gone, confirming it was just for the Olympics. Double confirmed it by checking out AVS Forum, which is really the only place I was able to find out about this (in the TWC NYC thread).
