National Geographic (828) & Showcase (838) HD now on Evu

These are specialty channels. I'll bet that if you take the SD equivalents that you'll get the HD versions as well. Same principle as TSN. However we wont know until much later this year for sure.

Based on what I've seen so far I certainly wouldn't pay extra for them.

I completely agree with you on the locals. But multiple spot beam satellites and the ground infrastructure required to support them would be VERY expensive. Not sure I want to be paying for that on my bill.

This was probably done to Combat the fact that Starchoice is adding More HD channels at aprox. the first week of February. So i'd suspect bev will turn on these channels around the same date.

So what you are saying is that you don't really need them , but want them...

It is a real shame the negativity and pessimistic attitude that some people here show.....you guys know that people can get sick for being too pessimistic? It's a fact.

Granted BEV is not perfect, and if you find a company that is, what are you waiting for? Turning positive news into negative is just sad.

Seriously, smart up and enjoy the ride....

Not sure that I share the excitement of others regarding these two channels. Great to have more HD channels available but still remain concerned about content. How many more programs about "mud ponds of the Kalimanizaro" can we take? Niche markets were okay for the SD channels but remain problematic for HD channels as they burn up valuable transponder space.

Like two others here I'm having no audio dropouts on my 9200. I'm using the Dolby Digital output to my Pioneer receiver.

Bring on More.

No, I am saying, I just have more money then I have brains.

I noticed they were on while home at lunch. We'll see how they look tonight.
