The Frame brings high-def art to Canadian HDTVs on Star Choice

We'll go ahead and say it: Canada is in desperate need of some fresh HD channels, and while we're sure Canucks will take any one they can get, we have all ideas The Frame isn't high on their list of wants. Nevertheless, the all-HD-art channel that hit Shaw Cable back in August has finally arrived on subsidiary Star Choice, and as expected, it will provide a 24-hour feed of high-def art sans commercials. From "exclusive fine art collections to award-winning photographs," The Frame promises to give your HDTV a workout when there's absolutely nothing else on. Those somehow looking forward to this can catch it on slot 268 this Thursday.

Shaw launching TSN2 HD Friday

Slightly more exciting than a 24/7 art channel, Shaw Cable is the latest to add TSN2 HD. Starting Friday September 19 subscribers can check out (hopefully sans-pixelization) all the curling, hockey, NASCAR, CFL and other sports action in high definition on channel 226 (HD Plus) or 269 (Star Choice). We know we had you at curling.

Star Choice adds Encore Avenue HD / TLC HD in Canada

A couple of months after Star Choice picked up Speed HD, the satcaster has now acquired a new duo for those up in the Great North. Encore Avenue HD, which will only be available to customers west of Ontario, will be situated on 273 and include commercial-free airings of films from the 70s, 80s and 90s. Additionally, TLC HD will be broadcast across all of Canada on slot 272. Both stations will be in free preview mode until the end of May, though there's no word on what they'll cost after that.
