All it is is a paid programming channel.  Nothing but infomercials and a waste of space.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[KevO]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 22nd 2008 8:08AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ION sets to launch HD in 2009, no kidding this time ]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/10/22/ion-sets-to-launch-hd-in-2009-no-kidding-this-time/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/10/22/ion-sets-to-launch-hd-in-2009-no-kidding-this-time/</guid><description><![CDATA[ION is one of those conservative channels that doesn't show anything other than so-called "family friendly" programming, 90% of which seems to be reruns of 1980s junk. The fact they haven't gone HD yet isn't particularly surprising as I suspect a high proportion of their content is either on 480i videotape, or on film that will need reframing if they don't want to broadcast in stretchovision.<br><br>Considering their programming budget is probably significantly less than $10,000 a day, I would imagine they're going to have to work on their sources of programming if they want to actually do a true HD switch. Don't expect ION to be significantly better.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[squiggleslash]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 22nd 2008 10:51AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
