Hmm, that's not "the only downside" - they don't work well when cold nor do they have a long (comparably) life.

A&E HD has been on here since Sept. and it's awful - unless you like watching endless re-runs of CSI Miami and ummm. . . CSI Miami. Seriously, get some real HD content already! Are you listening A&E ??

If you read the interview it doesn't say "large partner" just an upcoming launch. I can tell you this channel is being added to some Canadian HD feeds later this fall, not sure that's what he meant.

They'd best upgrade, because the demos I've seen so far of their TV over phone lines are very un-impressive.

What do I have to do for this channel to get wider distribution within Canada?! I would gladly dump Fox "HD" for this! :(

Can I get a hell yeah? 50" Plasma in all its piano black glory !!

Until someone can produce gear that records, edits and outputs full & proper 1080p then I think it's all hype! It seems like most providers are having a hard enough time giving us low compression on 1080i as is.

And to think that I was upset the ENTIRE series (from Round1) onwards wasn't 100% HD. Sheesh, get with the 2000's already buddy! :P

Based on your needs, I recommend a large Pioneer plasma, such as the forthcoming 5070HD. It is superior technology available today, with an amazing picture quality that makes DVD or plain old cable look great packaged in a gorgeous piano black. Rear-projection/ DLP is out-of-date, and it is too early to spend mega$ on a bigger LCD so plasma is the way to go. Pioneer makes top quality stuff and you don't need to splurge on the Elite series to get a superb product. The Panasonic plasma comes in a close second.

Sweet, Journey rocks! This brings new Frontiers to my desire to be Raised on Radio, man.
