Though it's been an uphill battle for Germans looking to acquire fresh new content, it seems as if two blockbuster stations could be headed their way, and soon. According to a pair of German-language sites, both FOX and TNT will be arriving in short order, with the former going live on May 19th via pay-TV provider Arena. We're also told that Premiere (another carrier) will be picking up FOX shortly thereafter. As for TNT, there's been no specific air date listed, but word on the street has it pegged for a launch on Premiere in the not-too-distant future. Unfortunately, the biggest detail (to us, anyway) was left out, so we'll just have to wait and see if HD versions show up alongside the SD counterparts.[Thanks, Chris]

For now there are no technical information about FOX, so we don`t know if FOX will come in PAL widescreen, or just 4:3. The shows they picked up from HBO, TheCW and so on are all available in widescreen, also most of the shows are available in HD. Our hope is that FOX will come in Widescreen, instead of just 4:3. FOX International bought rights of Lost - Season 4, which will be a german Pay TV Premiere for Season 4. An PREMIERE owned channel had Season 1-3 in widescreen, so as FOX just took the fourth season away, 4:3 would be a desaster. I don`t believe in a HD Version yet, but why not after a year.
