Channel 780. Hope it stays permanately, but I doubt it. I have heard
TW has agreements to carry it, and if they can put it up temporarily they must have the bandwidth, so I dont know why it shouldnt stay.

They had it up during the Olympics last winter and I thought it was going to stay up after that point. Didn't they also have it up for last years US Open?

Looks like it will be permanent. The TW website says it is part of the HD Gold package and describes some events in Oct. and Nov.

Does anyone know how they broadcast the BSG stuff on UHD? I've not seen the show before because I wanted to watch a HD version instead of the SD stuff. I'm probably going to rent the DVDs from Netflix for the previous seasons to catch up but I would like to watch the latest season on UHD as soon as it's aired. Do they trail Sci-Fi by a week in airing new episodes or is it much longer?

Not sure what UniHD are going to do this time around, but I remember when TWC had Universal HD on for the Olympics BG seemed to be about a month or so behind Sci-Fi Channel at least. According to the current BG schedule on the UniHD website, this past Sunday they showed episode 2 of Season 2. UniHD only shows 1 BG episode per week, so if they stay the course through all 20 Season 2 episodes, it looks like they won't be getting to Season 3 until December 31st at the earliest. Season 3 starts October 6 on Sci-Fi.
