Anyone else surprised that SpikeTV is not in HD? - Page 2

[quote=barth2k]oops, I have my marginal channels mixed up.

yeah I liked TechTV, esp. Leo and his computer geek friends. too bad it died.

WWW.twit.tv is Leo
www.dl.tv is Patrick Norton

If men are 10 year old boys...then yes its geared towards men.

I cant imagine anything on that channel I would want to watch.
Wait...you say The Shield is on that channel? I say no its not.

Several years ago, I saw that Spike had reruns of CSI on quite often.

Since I hadn't seen many from the first season, I thought I would Tivo them from Spike and watch when nothing else was on.

I am not a huge "quality" snob, but the picture was really really bad. It was the first time since I had my 50" DLP that I could not stomach a SD show.

Aside from watching the old reruns, I really do not have a use for this channel. And the picture and sound quality have not improved.

With all the new HD channels coming, I must say that this one (Spike) is a perfect example of a channel I would never watch, HD or not.

Watching old reruns is a last resort type of viewing for me.

Newer original programming would be #1 on my wishlist for HD. Sports would be #2, and movies would be #3.

With HBO, SHO, STARZ, MAX, HDNet, FOX (soon), and MGM (soon), I see no reason to watch movies on TBS, Spike etc...

I admit that even with DVRs all throughout my home, commercials during movies are a nuisance that I do not want to deal with anymore.

Same here (but on Cablevision in NJ). It clearly has the worst quality (in picture, not programming) of any channel we have. It's painful to watch and it's a shame because there are some good things on it.

They just said like 5 mins ago on motorblock that it will be available in HD starting in january

Spike will be in HD Q1 in 08. Yes, DirecTV WILL carry it.

ha.

I would rather have Comedy Central and FX to be in HD than Spike TV.
(I think D* is getting FX-HD/Comedy-HD already?...)

Back to the OP's question, it's coming:

Someone else already said it will be here in jan 08. I too saw them say it today on the powerblock. I can't wait.
