Any new HD coming from Novus?? - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

Has anyone heard? It looks like Shaw is getting some new ones.

I'd be happy with a little HDPPV Novus (hint, hint).

They just recently added Super Channel HD1 and HD2 as well as 4 eastern feeds of US CBS, FOX, NBC and ABC

Thanks but I meant newer than that. I'm an existing Novus subscriber.

Anything comin' down the road? Rumors and so forth.

I hope Novus carries the Canadian HBO.

novustech · 2008-09-24, 12:35 PM

More Sports HDs are coming and yes we will be carrying Canadian HBO.

Movie Central 4 will be replaced by HBO West SD and Movie Central HD with HBO West HD.

No word on HD PPV as yet but we do plan to carry it if possible.

Would love to see if SPEEDTV (HD) will come available on Novus....any news on that?
Rogers, BEV, Star, Shaw already have it...can Novus join the part?

Cooool. Thanks novustech. HDPPV would kick ass.

Also I heard that a lot of novus subscribers wanted to see Golf Channel HD added to the repertoire.

Oh and that channel that provides for world class masterpieces of art and nothing but. I'd prob. pay big money for that one.

Does this mean that we will lose shows like Dexter and Stargate: Atlantis if Move Central HD is replaced?

MCHD2 will probably start become MCHD airing SG:A and Dexter to compensate.

ds7777 · 2008-10-14, 07:22 PM

that is fantastic! we will at least get to watch the last few F1 races in HD!

pillcutter · 2008-10-15, 02:29 PM

I called yesterday and they couldn't tell me how much the new channels cost but they did confirm there'll be no free preview.

I'm underwhelmed by the new offerings. I don't forsee significant HD sports offerings beyond what is already supplied by Novus. If they bundle it together with the existing sports package and charge more I'll be pissed.

ds7777 · 2008-10-16, 05:37 PM

i believe its going to be included as part of the HD complete package...does anyone know the channel numbers and will it be up and running soon?

hdtvvan · 2008-10-16, 09:43 PM

Speed HD is looking pretty damn good on 135

rob · 2008-10-30, 09:55 PM

They have HBO Canada as an analogue channel, but not an HD channel yet.
