surprise! Sci Fi in HD

I just discovered, totally by accident, that my cable company is now carrying the Sci Fi Channel in HD.

Might have been nice if they’d, I dunno, actually informed me about this exciting programming addition.

I wonder how long it’s been available...

I wonder what other channels I don’t know I have...

Very cool.

We've had SciFi-HD since the last series of Battlestar Galactica. It does make even the super cheesy movies they have most of the time seem slightly less cheesy.

We have a man v woman difference here. Within hours of my cable company adding new HD channels - I'm right on top of it, because I compulsively click over all the choices available at least once every 15 minutes. My wife refuses to give me the remote control, but I can't understand why.

On AT&T Uverse, I always know when they've added new channels to the line-up: the picture on both of my TVs suddenly turns to crap because when they reset the box, the formerly 1080i signal drops to 480p. It's half annoying (because I then have to fix it), and half helpful, 'cause then I know to go looking for new channels. ;-)

Yeah, but how do you know they added channels? They tell you, somehow. My shitty cable company doesn't tell me anything, except when they're raising my rates.

I know they added channels because I click through the channel guide aimlessly whenever anything boring is on the channel I'm watching. Our service lets you turn the picture into a small window in the screen and see the channel guide at the same time.

With the quality of TV and my ADD - I'm almost always clicking aimlessly.

I got ADD too misterb, so don't feel like your on a small boat.

I got a new channel too, its the Chiller channel, maybe you got this channel to MaryAnn but they play Twin Peaks , Tales from the Crypt and Profit, and they play them almost everyday. Its the kinda channel i've been hoping for, being a horror hound
