NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2006 I just discovered this channel on my lineup. Another channel that launched with no publicity. Anyways, they basically play a bunch of 80's "action" shows like Knight Rider, A-Team, Miami Vice...etc.....I think they also show edited movies as well.

SuperJerk 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2006 I get it on DirecTV. I'm unsure how the A-Team qualifies as a mystery show. The only mystery is how they keep getting B.A. Baracus into the airplane with that damn fool Murdoch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Kamala 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2006 I watch it from time to time to see Homicide: Life On The Street reruns. But that motherfuckin' channel replaced Trio, which was one of my favorites! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2006 what channel on DTV? 308 And some of the shows are on Universal HD in HD like Knight Rider and Equalizer. Oh, and Sleuth didnt replace Trio..Trio was turned into one of the first ever internet networks and taken off cable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm assuming they cropped the top and bottom of the image, but the quality is very good. They must've used to original film to make them and not video copies. Does anyone know if the Knight Rider DVDs widescreen as well? Its not unheard of for old shows to be retrofitted for widescreen. For example, my copy of "V: the Mini-Series" is even in anamorphic widescreen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2006 As far as I've come to understand..older TV shows were shot on film which can be made into HD..but anything between 1985 and say 2000 or so was on tape and would be costly to turn into HD, if not impossible. Film has more resolution to it than HD has, which is why you can get HD converts of movies not shot in HD to begin with as well. And they are cropped at the top and bottom but have more picture on the sides since the film was cropped on the sides and left at the top/bottom for square TVs. And the HD quality sometimes looks bad because the original was bad but not really noticable due to standard definition. Which is why you can watch Hogans Heroes and Charlies Angels on HDNet, and its possible for a lot of the older stuff from the 60s and 70s if there was demand for it, demand being the key word.

Vyce 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2006 What's the lineup for this? With a name like "Sleuth Channel" I'd be disappointed if the didn't air a ton of mystery shows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gary Floyd 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2006 I get The Sleuth Channel, though i never watch it. I'm too busy watching either Cartoon Network, VH1 Classic, or The National Geographic Channel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vyce 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2006 I kind of want BBC America, but only for their drama series. Or maybe any show featuring Gordon Ramsey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Special K 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2006 Man if it has Miami Vice, I may have to rethink my cable package. No joke, I LOVE that stupid show. But a sleuth channel better have some motherfuckin' Poirot. I can't go without my mincing detective. And again, I mean that with no sarcasm. I LOVES me some Poirot.
