Why Has’nt Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, Disney XD and Cartoon Network are’nt in HD Yet? I’ve been Campaigning for Years to get them in HD for No Success.

Interesting development.
The problem is people will still associate it with Foxtel.
As much as I personally think Foxtel should make as many of their channels available in HD as possible, does the target demographic(s) of those channels really care about the picture quality?
It’s also worth keeping in mind that the children’s channels were among the last on Foxtel to go widescreen, so it’ll probably be the same with HD.

Hopefully streaming to a 4k tv too. I assume that’s what they meant.
Shame about Foxtel Now. I actually really like it.
how much of the source material is in HD? heck, i doubt alot of the older stuff on cartoon network is even in widescreen.

Has it been confirmed they’re getting rid of Now? Is there a date confirmed?
What about the Foxtel Now boxes they sold…
I’ve only ever had Foxtel via Foxtel Now, as a renter it’s been the only way to get Foxtel. Seems like a bunch of lost income to scrap it

It hasn’t been confirmed yet but the AFR speculated on Monday that the new services are “expected to supersede” Foxtel Now because it has “failed to gain traction”.
I wish they’d upgrade Foxtel Go. That was promised months ago but still nothing has happened.
