Once you've gotten your fill of Law and Order episodes, your HD content menu declines dramatically.  | |

Riverhead, NY | GOOD! I want:
-Discovery HD (one that mirrors the regular discovery channel, a-la fox/fox HD - the DHD currently does not have any programs i routinely watch)
-History Channel HD (null said)
-A&E
-Anything else your going to give me...
I'm not going to pay extra for it...so any extra HD channels are a plus! | |

| | | Re: GOOD! We have Discovery HD, it's channel 727 (at least in NJ). It's been there since March. I watched all of Planet Earth in HD. | |

Forest Hills, NY | OTA still wins There's only a few good HD channels out there. I only watch FOX-HD (OTA), YES-HD, HBO, and Discovery-HD. Instead of cramming a million "HD" channels into one pipe, give us on-demand HD. | |

| | claims I think with DirecTV, they get their inflated HD numbers by counting every local HD feed from every city they carry as a separate channel, even though the average user would only be able to see the four or five locals in his area. It makes sense that they would need to think in terms of capacity to carry HD locals to more and more markets, but for the average customer the impact isn't that impressive.

| | could be You guys do know that discovery channel is putting out something like 6 or 7 more hd channels in the next year right?
Then you have the voom channels, channels like food network hd and hgtv hd and thats maybe 24 hd channels right there.
Then if cablevision puts out an hd version of news 12 and any other channels it owns.
There are the hd channels comming up and cablevision has the capacity due to switching over some of the less watched channels over to switched video. | |

Benton, AR | I love Food network HD
They have some good documentery stuff on there. And Alton Brown is great to watch. I have learned more from him than most of my time watching other educational stuff on TV. He is worth a watch. | |

1 edit | Re: could be said by shoan:I love Food network HD They have some good documentery stuff on there. And Alton Brown is great to watch. I have learned more from him than most of my time watching other educational stuff on TV. He is worth a watch. Me too. Food Network is good and the food looks great in HD. I saw it at a friends. It looks like you can reach through the TV and grab it! It's not a waste of HD at all unlike TNT where you get mostly upconverted and streched content except for the games.
If they get can get all the movies channels in HD that would be worthwhile. HBO is converting all of their 20 something movie channels to HD so thats good. So if we can get all of the Starz, Showtime, Encore and The Movie Channel in HD too, it would be great. HD is for movies and sports and anyway.
I could see something like Nick at Nite being useless for HD but not Food Network. | |

Suffern, NY | How about some new channels (not HD clones of existent ones) I would like CV to pick up some channels (aside from their own VOOM ones) that they do not now carry such as BBC America and the Anime Channel (they have Anime On Demand but not the channel itself). | |
