Telus Optik TV: New Channels

[musimax]

Maybe it's bout time Optik gets its own new channels thread eh!

To start it off, Optik recently added:

• radX - 645
• Treasure HD - 644
• eqhd - 646
• Oasis HD - 643
• Setanta Sports HD - not sure of the channel number, but it's there, it's on their website

In addition to radX (645), Treasure HD (644), eqhd (646) and Oasis HD (643), Telus Optik TV now seems to have added CBC NewsWorld. Funny thing is, though, that they've added it to their HD package as Channel 615 ... which makes no sense. I mean, why didn't they make CBC NewsWorld channel 651 (maybe the folks at Telus are dyslexic?), and assign Channels 650 - 658 as their News Channel package, sort of how they now make 90 - 105 their News grouping (CTV News, CNN, Headline News, BBC, MSNBC, Fox News, etc.) in the standard digital package.

Here's hoping the folks at Telus Optk TV will add CTV News, CNN, Headline News, BBC, MSNBC, Fox News, etc. in HD as soon as possible (after all, all those channels broadcast in HD down south), and re-assign the 650 - 658 group of channels as their 'HD news group package'. That'd make sense.
