Re: [Praise] more channels in HDI wish I had Smithsonian HD. We got the SD a few months ago, but no HD. I've gotten hooked on "Air Disasters" and "The Real Story". To see HD, I have to go to OnDemand for the few they carry. |

I like air disasters and air emergency. Although Air Emergency isn't on that much anymore. |

I have found that to be a very informative about the incidents that I have not heard before and the reasons that I never thought to be possible. It also illustrates how a smallest of mistakes triggers the biggest disasters. |

It is actually a Canadian show (as 90% of cable shows seem to be these days!) |

I think the listings go by when it was first aired on the channel. Which means the show could have been suspended 2 years ago in canada but since it was the first time on tv here it is considered new. |

Weird. It looks like we are seeing them in mixed up order, and only some of the later episodes. It says Discovery and NatGeo also had some rights, but I don't know if they ever aired here. |
