    Default When will there be more HD channels...

    10 so far, it's a joke.

    I want to invest in a bigger TV or projector by next summer so I'm wondering is there any positive news.

    Ideally I'd like about 50 HD channels including some widespread coverage from movies to documentaries to sports.

    Am I hoping for too much?

    I don't even think there are 50 HD channels in the USA....if you include PPV sports events and things like Sunday Ticket then technically there are more than 50. However in practice for your average Joe then I would have thought there are less than 30 HD channels...

    Just been and counted the HD channels on a random comcast lineup and there were 25, they've had HD TV for over a year and there are only 25 channels....so 10 is pretty good going for "kick off" over here!!

    EDIT: 4 of the 25 were dupes so that takes it to 21....

    Be nice if they had HD programs on the HD channels they have, instead of the upscaled shite they keep putting on

    Damn this is a joke.

    Theyve got some great HDTV's on the market at great price points but no substantial HD content!

    I wonder when we'll be drowning in HD movies and programs.

    if you have a look on the newsgroups theres plenty more hd content than currently on sky, just make sure you have a fat pipe cos 10gb for a film will take forever on 2mb

    Noticed that on torrent sites too and my connection is pretty fair at 10MB as well so I'm not doing that bad.

    Thing is though how would you get content from PC to TV.

    most hdtv's have a vga/dvi port on it just plug your laptop/pc in and play with either vlc or media player

    or use an xbox 360
