Rumors have surfaced on various forums that Bell will be adding History HD, Movietime HD and HGTV HD sometime in October. As most know History HD and Movietime HD have been available for quite sometime but HGTV HD has not launched yet. Can anyone confirm if Canwest is indeed planning to launch HGTV HD this fall?

I can't wait for HGTV HD to launch. It is one of my most anticipated HDTV channels. As far as I am concerned CanWest can do a "flash cut" when they launch the HD feed and discontinue the SD feed.

That would make no sense by getting rid of the sd feed they would lose tons of subscribers. Originally Posted by cslusarc

Or the BDUs just down convert the HD feed to SD. Eventually all STBs are going to be HD capable anyway, BellTV and TelusTV have already gone that route, their receivers are HD capable and down convert to SD sets when needed. Originally Posted by ottawasnowdog

About damn time, now where the hell is Food Network HD?! Food Network Canada will be celebrating their 10th anniversary this year, this would be a good time to launch an HD feed of the channel?! Looks like the people at Canwest are asleep at the switch, when the heck does Shaw take over?!

Guess it's safe to say that HGTV HD has been postponed to winter 2011 due to the merger? Originally Posted by TVViewer

Well it's almost 2011 and still no History or Movietime or Encore or Speed HD on Bell. But hey at least we have Zeste HD, whoopteedoo.

I'm sure people in Quebec are quite pleased with their HD lineup. The BDU's and broadcasters in the rest of Canada are out to lunch when it comes to HD.

Has a launch date been dropped for HGTV HD , and does anyone know if Shaw , Bell , Rogers and Telus will have these ?
Canada lacks in HD. If you agree post this in your signature.
CANADA NEEDS HD. We have nothing!
