Sooner or later. :nono2:

Yeah, from what I understand MSNBC is set to launch in HD. Not sure when. I originally heard 'the fall of 2008'. Not sure if that still holds or not.

Source?

According to https://www.nbcunetworks.com/default.aspx, NBC Universal is not uplinking any other channels in HD at this time. That would include Chiller, Sleuth, Telemundo and MSNBC.

Source?

Actually the source is from Verizon. The announced that MSNBC HD would be added to their FiOS TV line up when it gets launched - and they indicated that that would probably be sometime this fall. No, not the most solid of sources, but Verizon went so far as to include in their press release regarding all their new HD channels.

Interesting link.. what is WNBC America? A 'superstation' feed of WNBC?

I'll believe MSNBC HD and Fox News Channel HD are coming to D* when I actually see them.

That's amazing .... it's nearly identical to the response I got when asking if the Basket Weaving Channel (BWC) would be coming in HD soon. They said:
