G4 HD in On Demand?

Noticed the other night that there is a folder for G4 HD in the On Demand library even though it holds no content. Is this a sign we may be getting G4 in HD?

No clue, but I wouldn't expect it. Also, G4 is basically changing again to where it will have no identity and no reason to watch, like SpikeTv.

Yeah, they are going to fashion it into a "GQesque" type channel for men. Meh. Of course I wasn't a fan of G4 anyway. They ruined what used to be a fantastic channel in TechTV (and before that, I think it was called ZDTV).

So basically a male version of Style?

Best thing on G4 was Bomb Patrol Afghanistan. Superb. But don't even know if they will be doing that again.

That was the article. Quite frankly I don't know any "modern males" who give one iota about GQ. But this is NBCUCC and everything they do is a failure.

Cops reruns on G4 are better than most of the crap being put out by the networks....

I never understood why every channel that offers a HD feed does not have a HD folder for On Demand. My understanding is the carriage fee is the same no matter HD or not.

No, I don't think this is a sign of anything -- haven't we already had G4 HD on-demand for a while? Or am I conflating G4 with Fearnet? We definitely get Fearnet HD on-demand and Style HD on-demand even though we don't get the "linear" HD versions of those channels. That's been the case for several months at least. So there's a precedent for getting the HD on-demand folder without getting the regular HD channel.

In that case give us a Cartoon Network HD folder. [adult swim] is pretty good at filling their folders.

G4 has opted to end two of its long-running series, Attack of the Show and X-Play...both series will continue production through the end of the year, airing their respective final installments in December

Glad VZ didn't waste a HD slot on this Comcast crud channel.
