"What do you think of INHD?" was my question put to the TIPS List. For those of you who may be thinking about it, here is one man's view of INHD. OUr reader ends by answering my question of: How many channels in HDTV is enough?_Dale Cripps

I'm in the Seattle area and was considering getting a dish a few months ago, but Comcast has really started coming through with channels.  They provide ABC, NBC, PBS, ESPNHD, HBO, Showtime, INHD and INHD2.  All I use OTA for anymore is CBS, WB and UPN.  I would really like to get HDNet and DiscoveryHD, but it doesn't seem worth getting a dish for two channels. 

Of all of the channels I tend to watch the INHD channels the most.  The content is good and the clarity of most of the movies seems better to me than what I see on HBO and Showtime.  I also like the INHD promos and shorts as they are designed specifically for HD.  A little more variety from them would be nice, but having something available in HD 24/7 is a big plus over the other programmers. 

My least favorite HD channel is ESPNHD.  It is only worth watching when they have HD content, but 95%+ of the time are showing horribly stretched SD content.  Does anyone out there watch the SD content on ESPNHD at all?

As far as how many channels is enough? I don't think we'll be there until every single channel is on board.

The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse is North Carolina's statue of liberty. It is an icon, a towering symbol of strength and majesty, wrapped in a ribbon of black and white; it's spiral design is known throughout the world. It is America's greatest sentinel to the sea. Since 1870 it has stood, proudly perched at the point of Cape Hatteras, its light bright and blinking, peering out over the ocean, guiding ships through the treacherous waters of diamond shoals. And now the sea threatens to take the light. The National Park Service cares for the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, and it's the park service that wants to remove it. There are those who say leave it alone, who wonder why take the risk? Why not use existing technology to build up the beach and stop the ocean? They are passionate against moving their beloved beacon as those who insist it must be moved.
