Looks like good news for WIN TV areas, I’m currently watching the Sarah Connor Chronicles on WIN HD. There was even an ad in the break specifically saying “This is WIN TV High Definition”.

It now looks like Southern Cross HD is officially the most “backwards” HD channel in the country; it currently shows no sign of ever getting off the demo loop.

I really enjoy what HD channels have to offer and I hope Nine challenges themselves with offering watchable programming.

I’ll wait and see what 9 will do with their HD channel, which at the moment is totally pathetic, before passing any judgements.
And to you Jeremy: Find something more original.

I receive the regional affiliate WINTV. I wonder if WIN take on 9HD the same way it similcasts with 9SD/analog? I wouldnt expect WINHD to be up and running/ready to take the broadcast of 9HD. I would be quite suprised if it did. Im holding off buying the HD products until HD is fully running in regional areas, hopefully it will be cheaper to buy then also. Cant wait!

Gee tone it down a notch Jeremy. We get you love Nine, but you’re going a bit OTT.

To spaceghost, you could indeed buy a $100 HD box and go to all the trouble of setting everything up. Or you could just download whatever shows you want.

Here we go….AGAIN!!! like 10HD do with there Sci-Fi shows, all the shows that Nine treat with contempt like Moonlight, like Curb Your Enthusiasm etc, I bet they end up also on this HD channel and the only way you will be able to watch them is WITH A HD BOX!! Yes I know, I have to go and buy a box which is easy and supposedly cheap, yada yada…. But as I feel the same way about how 10 do this, why can’t they also show them on the SD channel as NOT everyone can afford luxuries such as HD Boxes and Plasma Screen TV sets.

This is interesting. I hope that Nine do something like Ten did with their network, and actually offer alternate programs. Ten have done heaps actually, with Friday Night Lights, Smallville, The Shield, Battlestar Galactica, Over There, The 4400, Veronica Mars, Eureka, Journeyman and Cane all on their HD network. It’d be nice to have Nine do something similar, rather than just do a lazy simulcast. Seven are really wasting their network, the only interesting shows that are HD-exclusive on theirs are Day Break and The Nightcap. Back to 9HD, this would be a good opportunity to show their rejected shows like Moonlight, Nip/Tuck and Monster House, even if its on at maybe 10:30pm at night. It would be a waste if they just stuck on a whole heap of sport and documentaries and left it at that.
