Official A&E HD Programming and PQ Discussion Thread

This thread is to discuss programming and Picture quality on A&E HD now that several providers in Canada have it on air.

It's on 533 on Rogers, not sure about Shaw and any other providers

this is out of the blue for me, did we know this channel was coming?

Picture quality not the best, but not bad at 720p. It says free preview, so I iamgine for a year then it becomes part of HD pack.Not too worried because I have the HD pack. Hope this is true, because I dont want another fee increase.

Would like to comment, but here in Rogers land its just giving a blank grey signal, but it shows up in the IPG.

Does A&E HD appear to have the same schedule as A&E SD?

Is the free preview available only to those who pay for the HD premium pack (or w.e it's called)?? I only have the basic HD channels (CTV, ABC, CBS...) and it says i'm not authorized to view A&E HD.

It's been live in this part of Rogers land since the wee hours of this morning. The channel "officially" launches in the US on Monday.

I see they are stretching SD, not a good thing. Also the station bug or whatever you call it, is HUGE!

A&E hd is supposed to be available in canada on Rogers channel 533. Anyone in NL have it yet?

Yeah, no kidding. On my 50" screen the bug is 9" wide. And considering a 50" TV is about 43" wide, that's a hell of a lot of bug - between a fifth and a quarter of the way across the screen.
