Re: SCIFI

But now the downside......I see SciFi HD in my channel list, and I can watch it. But it doesn't appear to actually be broadcasting an HD signal. There isn't a single HD tagged show in the guide, including Friday nights first run Stargate Atlantis episode.

as a side question, anyone know how existing season passes will be handled with the new HD channels having the same number? Will they season pass (series link) continue recording on the SD channel, or will it auto switch to the new HD?
1 - the fact that the channel is HD does not mean that the content being supplied to D* by the network is HD.
Several other of the new channels (Showtime is one I know for sure) did not have "HD" tags on some content, but it was definitely in HD. I strongly suspect that the Stargate stuff will be in HD.....

2 - Season Pass/series recording will NOT automatically shift to the HD channel. You'll need to add the HD version (then probably delete the SD version) manually.
