HDSportsguide.com is reporting that INHD1 and INHD2 will be rolled into one at the end of this year. As much as we hate to loose an HD channel we can see how this works for everyone. There really isn't enough original HD programming from iN DEMAND Netowkrs to justify two HD channels and maybe this will lead to more cable providers using the space from INHD2 for another HD channel.
oh how i wish cnn hd would finally apear :)
I wait eagerly for the day when cspan comes to hd.
I already lost my INHD2 but it hasn't been combined with INHD1 (at least not). I get why they're doing this. I see reruns of almost everything they have ALL the time on those channels.
Its becoming a bit disappointing, we come to this blog for up to date info. But we've been reduced to news thats been reported over the past few weeks or news thats in in complete. Sorry guys I guess you will taken off my daily rotation.
Thought you were let down by the loss of INHD2...?The truth is that both stations 1 & 2 are just temporary filler HD content since most network stations were lagging behind in that and still are. Yes I said temporary. As early as November in the Seattle market INHD will be replaced by FSN HD. Good news for the sprots fans around but for those of us who just want 100% HD when we tune in get ready to be let down again by HD.
Does this mean we might finally get some NHL center ice games in HD like it's advertised on the inDemand website... Sadly I doubt it.

Comcast in the Bay Area got rid of INHD2 last month, replacing it with an offical FSN-HD feed instead of pre-empting INHD2 when the Giants, A's, Sharks or some basketball team is on. Now when there isn't a Bay Area sports game, we get a sexy 3-D rendered FSN-HD logo. How much are they paying for THAT bandwidth?
At the same time they gave us TNT-HD, which appears to be full of 90s TV shows being shown STRETCHED (including stretched commericals). There is the occasional movie on, but again edited for basic cable and full of stretched ads.
