HDTV Channels Directory- Canada & US

[NewBoy]

To keep up with the ever changing world of HDTV, I thought I would put together this handy chart that lists all current HD channels and ones that are possibly coming soon. I have broken this down into 2 posts, the first lists all the specialty channels for Canada and the second post is for US specialty channels.

Resurrecting this thread as I have decided to update the channel lists.

Since my last update a couple of years ago, more channels in the US have launched HD simulcasts while here in Canada most of the channels are still on the 'coming soon' list as very few specialties have HD simulcasts. There are more French HD channels than English ones, looks like French speaking Canadians have it better then English speaking viewers as far as HD goes.

Thank you NewBoy - very good resource!

I can possibly seeing the Corus ones launching.

As for TWN/MM being in HD? Do you really need to see weatther in HD?

[usbhubman]

I wouldn't mind seeing USA.HD picked up by Bell. NBC is axing Law & Order after the final episode this month, and they have spun off Law & Order Criminal Minds to the USA network. I'm sick and tired of having to download the episodes and burn them to DVD just to watch an episode.

[wetlabk]

just do what I do , put it on a USB stick and plug it in saves dvd's

Yes, yes we do. EVERYTHING needs to be in HD Tom.
