Willmar, MN | new channel in hd area in Willmar
I am so excited noticed tonight as I was scanning the channels 786 was added amongst the Hi Def channels it is QVC. It looks like the analog channel just showing up in the Hi Def area. WHY? Terrible picture. |

On theon hand I'm not mad that I don't have this channel. On the other hand I am a bit frustrated that it seems everyone else is getting HD channels. I see people talking about having Sci-Fi, Science Channel, Bravo. Ok when is our area going to be getting more HD? |

QVC popped up here in my HD section at 786. It's not even HD. Where are my new HD channels? The real ones. |

At any rate even the non HD content looks better on the HD channels than it does on the analog SD channels and that's enough for me to want it. |

Edit---Scratch that...I guess its getting added to 785 on tuesday. |

Redwings-It isn't even HD. It's in 480i. For some dumb reason they put a SD channel right in the middle of the HD tiers. WTH? |

As was explained to me, it's contractual. QVC is supposed to be adjacent to any local station broadcasts (both regular and HD).
It makes sense, QVC is the first channel on the analog part that is not a local....Hopefully this gets the HD feed one day. |

Well if it's contractual the Chater is breaking the contract here. 717 is the last local channel next channel in the line-up is 729 Animal Planet. And QVC is nowhere on the HD channel. Not that I miss it anyways. You could just go to the website if you want to buy shit. |

Why not get channels the have almost all HD programming, like Speed? Under your theory they should ad BET, CMT, VH1 and MTV HD. Basically zero HD but you will get your better picture of SD. |

Basically zero HD but you will get your better picture of SD. Well I don't watch speed. I'm not into racing. But at any rate the point is ANY addition would be welcome. It's frustrating to see other areas talk about new channels and you sit there and wait. The old excuse of "well that channel doesn't have any HD anyways" is just that, an OLD excuse. Almost everyone is producing their content in HD now.
VH1 and MTV are Viacom channels so if they were added you'd see Nickelodeon, Spike and Comedy Central too. So I'd be all for that. |
