Hallmark HD going Simulcast on February 18th, 2009

Hallmark has announced that their Hallmark Movie HD channel will finally be a true simulcast on February 18th, 2009.  This means that the shows on the SD channel will match its high definition counterpart.  In the past many of the shows varied between both channels. 

The simulcast also includes good news for Cablevision customer’s residing in both Lynbrook, NY and Islip, NY.  These areas are currently being beta tested for Integrated Channel mapping.  Integrated Channel means that if you go to channel 2, you will automatically get the HD version from channel 702 instead.  No more channel surfing between two sets of channels.  In the past channel mapping did not apply to Hallmark HD, because it was possible the shows would be different on both channels and many customers would want to watch the SD show instead.  This is also true of ESPN, where the SD channel may sometimes have different college games.

Are you referring to Hallmark Movies HD?  I don't think Hallmark Channel has a HD feed yet.  I know Cablevision only has Hallmark Movies HD.

I've heard of the channel, but have never watched it.  From my understanding, it's movies are like Lifetime Original Movies.  Basically depressing movies that women enjoy.
