We still have it in central Indiana.
via Comcast by the way...
I used to enjoy live out-of-market baseball & basketball games on INHD. Mainly....the Red Sox vs. Yankees games. It was almost a guarantee that they would show their games. Once it became MOJO, it just went down hill. But...that's just my opinion!
Good riddance. The channel is (was) so full of mediocre content that it wasn't worth watching unless they were doing a simulcast of an NBA TV game, and it had to be a good one to watch it.
Agreed. Used to love INHD/INHD2, especially whenever they showed IMAX docs. Nothing on Mojo ever caught my eye...and I tried.
WHA!? It's GONE from here in Nashville, TN QAM stations and I like the channel a lot. I love Three Sheets. If it goes down, it'll suck. I want to see MORE HD Stations (and not just stations, but HD programs ON HD stations): not less!
Still here on Comcast New Haven, CT
When they had INHD 1&2, those were good channels. Great Hollywood classic movies and good programming. When they reduced the channel to Mojo, alot of the good stuff disappeared.
After Hours was pretty cool, and Three Sheets was the bomb.
I *do* miss the InHD's and their IMAX movies, Mojo occasionally plays them but not like back in the day.
The betting show and the wall street shows were crap, Technology Jones was like a bad gameshow, the driving show almost seemed like a parody of bad American car shows. My girlfriend really liked Pressure Cook but I kinda thought Ralph Pagano wasn't a) a talented chef, b) a funny guy, and c) a compelling host.
Maybe the Imax stuff will end up on HDNet
why so hurtful 11teen... someone wake up on the wrong side of the crib today???
sorry you didnt dig the show.. we had a good time doing it and I really enjoyed the experience.. dont be such a hater... its not good karma...
peace*love*soul
Thank goodness, what a waste of bandwidth. Hopefully Cablevision here in NY replaces it with SCI FI HD or some other channel thats worthy of an HD slot.
What? say it aint So... I love three sheets. I will admit I have lately become tired of the reruns but hey it that time of year. I also enjoyed fields of glory. and whats wron with mediocre? at least these some of these shows had more content then the crap on most other channels.
Still have it in Greensboro, NC
Comcast Seattle still carries MOJO HD.
we still have it on cox in phoenix
if Mojo goes i will truly be upset. I love that channel. I bet you is hillarious and three sheets is great. Pressure cook is also very good as well.
If it wasn't for the fact that I had to get Mojo to get HDNet, HDNet Movies, Universal HD, and MGM HD, I would never even give Mojo a second thought. I've been mildly entertained by a few episodes of Three Sheets, and I've seen the occasional doco on Mojo, but for the most part it has nothing interesting to me at all.
HDNet Movies, however, is teh awesome!
I honestly hope this isn't true. MOJO is definitely a great addition to my HD lineup. A new channel with original programming that I really enjoyed. 8^(
We still have it in Charlotte, N.C. If MOJO goes, I'm really going to miss "Three Sheets."
I didn't even know the channel existed... until now...! :-s
Original unique programming? Actual HD content? Yeah it'll probably fail. Too bad. I don't get it but I've seen it and really enjoy it. I guess I won't be looking for it to be added to DirecTV.
I'm sure the powers that will squish it will replace it with some Brady Bunch "HD" stetch-O-vision.
When you go to their upcoming schedule page on their website, October 19-31 dates are crossed off. I don't know if they normally do that for dates not scheduled yet or not. It just looks suspicious.

Most of the time MOJO on Comcast in New Jersey was pre-empted during prime time hours for local hockey games in HD last year[almost every night]. Comcast's recent deal with HDNet probably was the final nail in MOJO's coffin. BTW, I agree with others that liked the old INHD/INHD2 offerings better thatn MOJO,
It's still here in Anne Arundel County, MD. Probably because it carries the select games MASN airs in HD.
Take MOJO and give me SCI-FI HD ;)
I'm in the camp of INHD/INHD2.
I miss the IMAX movies, and especially the short story films and the incredible HD destination films. Kind of like a sandpaper GalleryHD or Equator HD but with more pizazz.
Ever since they went MOJO I would constantly check out the content but nothing really grabbed, so got to say sorry to see you go but you won't really be missed.
man, I hope that isn't true. i watch Mojo all the time; it's one of my favorite channels. there are a lot of good shows and documentaries on there: pressure cook, i bet you, wall street warriors, dr. danger.
Lost it on Fios on DE with the new channel lineup.
The other side of the coin is that many cable systems charge extra for it, but generally bundled with other channels, like HDNet and HDNet-M. So we will lose value... and what WILL the cable systems do about that?
The bundle deal we had (TWC/NYC) was 5 HD only channels. Which became 4 when 2 InHDs became Mojo. Then the sports channels (ESPN HD) became free, leaving 3. NOW, if Mojo goes, it's down to 2. Oh, all along we pay the same price we paid for the 5!
How about "what will YOU do about that"? Cancel it. Don't let cable hold you by the balls if you don't feel it's a good value anymore. Go with DTV or Dish or OTA instead. Fight the power son!
Here in Jackson, MS on Comcast, I would swear to you that we just recently had it added. I spend most of my time in the HD channels, so I generally know them all by heart, but Mojo just appeared (or maybe I just noticed it?) for the first time about 2 weeks ago.
Cablevision in NYC still has it, i'm sure if it goes we'll carry it until the end. Unfortunately I haven't cared for much on this channel since it switched from INHD,..except King Of Miami, that show is hilarious!
Though most of the shows aren't that great, losing an HD channel still sucks, more HD! More HD!
No more Girls of STARE? Nooooooooooo!
No more Girls of STARE? Nooooooooooo!
Dont take away my Three Sheets. Hopefully they wont take it off comcast down here in south Florida.
Cablevision is dropping Mojo on 12/1/2008 according to their latest bill.
As an editor who is working on ideas for great TV shows, I find this extremely discouraging. The MOJO channel was a refreshing look at TV again. I can't tell you how disappointed I am in discovering that it will no longer be on air. In a world that is dry and flat in programming, I thought this channel was young and edgy and frankly just beginning to take off. It had so much potential. There is so much garbage on the air! How does a channel like Spike stay on, and not MOJO. The DVD's are no help either. One of the great reasons I loved this channel so much was because of its true HD quality. What the hell am I gonna do with a DVD? This is a bummer.
Three Sheets kicked ass...WTF?!
MojoHd had some of the best programs on comcast and it was all in HD. I hope they make another channel with the same programs. I will esp miss three sheets.
