00000 | He should be scared His channels suck and he relies on channel welfare to get customers. If he actually had to compete for business his shit rerun filled garbage would be out of business.
Cuban is a media whore who should do the world a favor and set himself on fire.

But at least HDNet isn't bastardized sub 10Mbps bitrate garbage like some of the others. |

I agree HDNet and HDNet Movies are not good channels, but I did enjoy the occasional one night preview screenings of new movies. However, Comcast took the HDNet Movies off of its line up and left the even worst HDNet on. |

00000 | Palladia smokes HDNet for concerts, and Dan RaTHer, ouch how the mighty have fallen. Give him a few years and he will find his way back to a decent network. If Marv Albert can make a comeback, anyone can. YES!

Uh, it is a permium channel for Time Warner customers. Unfortunately, TWC is yanking his channels on Saturday. Oh well, that'll be $7 a month I save when I drop that package.
I really enjoy both channels. More so than the other channels that TWC has added lately. |

said by Bit:Palladia smokes HDNet for concerts I have to disagree here. All the HDNet concerts I've watched have been wonderfully mixed into 5.1 audio, are uncensored (watching Linkin Park on Palladia was laughable), and don't have annoying commercial breaks between every single song in a set.
Palladia is pretty good, but HDNet still has an edge on concerts. |

said by moonpuppy:I wonder what would happen if the cable companies decided to make Cuban's channel a premium channel. On BOTH DISH & DirecTV, while HD Net is part of the basic HD tier, HD Movies is NOT & is in an "HD xtra" pak, which costs $5 on DirecTV, while it's $10 on DISH.
I do have it (HD xtra) on DirecTV, but I certainly would NOT pay it just for this douche's channel(s) - there's other ones in there that I watch more than this one...  |

| I'm okay with paying for the channels. In part because he has given quite a bit of technology (read: very expensive, high end HD cameras and lenses) for NASA to use since the Columbia disaster.
Granted, he gets rights to use the footage on HDNet. And since I'm a space nut, I enjoy getting the chance to watch the launches in HD. |

1 edit | Doesn't CNN-HD carry shuttle launches? They're also available online »www.nasa.gov/multimedia/hd/index.html
Meanwhile cable should dump his crap channels and just carry NASA TV in HD. »www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html

I wonder what would happen if the cable companies realized that their subscribers don't feel that Cuban's channels are worth what he charges the cable companies for them.
Oh wait! They already have realized that. |

I wonder what would happen if the cable companies decided to make Cuban's channel a premium channel. Uh, it is a permium channel for Time Warner customers. Same for Charter. Charter gives out most of it's HD channels for free. We you do have to upgrade to a HD box which is an extra $5 a month. So I guess it's really $5. Still if you want HDnet and the 5 other channels on the "premium" tier it's an extra $10. No thanks. |
