HD Net soon to become AXS.TV

In case you miss the changeover coming in a few days, but Mark Cuban sold a chunk to AEG and Ryan Seacrest. I can only imagine that the content will be a serious disappointment.

Yeah the worse part will be commericals probably. Probably not long soon that HDnet Movies will have them just like Fox Movies went(3pm-5am).

I only found out because I was watching something on there, and a promo came on with Katie Darryl saying it was changing over in a few days.

Kind of unfortunate if the new name is going to end in ".TV"...

Yeah, when I saw that changeover notice I kinda barfed. The good programming that was there is going to go down the crapper and it'll turn into another 24/7 infomercial channel...

Everything I have read is the uncensored versions of the shows will be gone. This is a merger with Ryan Seacrest so I expect a sanitized unwatchable channel that I will forget all about, kind of like when Comcast bought TechTV and turned it into G4.

I thought that the Dan Rather news show and the MMA stuff would be the only holdovers?...hopefully a lot of the current programming will remain

If I'm correct HDNet Movies is not a part of the deal and nothing is changing.

I think you are correct. The HDNet movies web site has not changed but the HDNet site has not.

The other .TV channels moved outside of my programing package sometime ago, no big loss for me since they ALL sucked. I have always really liked the concert footage on HDNET. More of it would be better IMO. If this change takes it outside of my programing as well that is gonna really suck.

EDIT: just after posting this I saw an ad for O.A.R live in concert on July 15 on AXS.TV. I'm not going to want to miss that.

and its before the 31th

When it was first announced that HDnet would become AXS.TV the first thing I thought of was the Byron Alllen .TV channels that run the same limited episodes of programming daily.

It should be noted AXS.TV is not a Byron Allen channel.

The website is AXS.TV. The official name of the channel is AXS TV with no dot. Some channels put their web address on the screen. Don't confuse if with those .TV channels.

Joe, they are going to have more concerts now. That's part of the new programming.

I watched some of a Rolling Stone concert and a Sting concert last night. But it was still called HDNet. I would certainly like to watch/listen to more.

The changes on the 31st should only apply to HBO and Cinemax.

The logo on screen is axs.tv so it seems the . is a part of the name.

I thought thats just cause their website has the dot.

On their website the tv channel is mentioned multiple times without the dot + the logo in the prgoram guide doesnt have the dot either.

The logo in the guide does have the dot, it's very small.
You are correct that on the axs.tv website they do refer to it in text as "AXS TV" but the logo is axs.tv

I was just going to mention TechTV into G4 . one of the worst wastes of money ever by a cash rich cable company. the ONLY one of a kind channel to do tech news , computer shows. and they kill it, so they can show game play on tv.

my sons and I watched that channel glued to it, even my non tech wife watched Leo and Katie who EXPLAINED things to her in a human term unlike my offspring and me
