Rico Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 This is a hypothetical question. What would you rather have: A. HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, and Starz HD-channels + all their associated extra channels for the price of only HBO... but with no signal on the ESPN HDTV channel & no signal on some other channels including MTV & VH1 or B. HBO, ESPN HDTV, MTV, VH1 as should be but no Showtime, Cinemax, or Starz ????? I don't really know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live&DieBillsFootball Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 It depends if you watch movies when they are on. If you tape them, you don't need HD. I like ESPNHD for Sunday night football and hockey(if there is a season). A lot of ESPN HD programming is not true HD. I would probably go with (B) because I would rather have the HD sports.

But Sunday Night football on ESPN... damn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCBillsFan Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Well I pretty much have option 1 and would take option 2 in a heart beat. The movies on the other channels generally suck anyway. I'd take ESPN HD over the movie channels anyday. And you get that with HBO HD? Take the sports channel. Trust me.

ajzepp Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 You cannot beat HD sports programming, man.....I love movies more than just about anyone you'll ever meet....but sports is where HD really shines. I've had this for over three months, and I still hit the floor every time I see football, soccer, tennis, etc. in HD. It's amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Syracuse Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Many of the "standard" movies channels that are supposed to be HD are just scaled up crap. TNT is the bust example I can think of. I'd go with option number two because I believe you can get Starz for like $3 per month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
