Star Choice needs more HD Channels

Anybody feel the same way? I'm not a hockey fan, so when SC announced we are getting so many more HD Hockey Channels, it was a let down for me.

They need more good HD channels, than just more HD channels. Who needs fireplace or portrait channels in HD, when we need more channels with entertainment on them.

That's what I meant. I talked to them and they say not much plans for more HD channels any time soon. That portrait channel is a riot!!! A bunch of stills repeated day after day week after week. I hope they really don't go HD on the fireplace channel lol!

You are going to get more HD - after 4 Sportsnet and Golf HD channels are launched.

And after your 505/530s become obsolete for HD. Yes SC is upgrading (probably late 09 or early 2010) to DVB-S2 MPEG4 for HD.

The new models will be 605 HD receiver and 630 HDDVR.

This will allow them to put 8 HD channels/transponder as opposed to 3 as it is now with the 505/530

Do you think SC will charge us for the new HD receiver and if so how much do you think?
