[edit] YES Network HD?

Do we really need a separate article on this? Very little info, which can be integrated into the main article. Morgan Wick 04:25, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] YES HD is YES

YES HD is a simuelcast, which means it isn't a true standalone channel like Discovery HD Theater or the NBC Universal HD nets.

If it hasn't been merged by Friday, or better evidence isn't provided, I will merge it myself.

Even though YES HD is a simulcast, i beleive it should have its own page. Here's why: Even as a simulcast it shouldn't be included into the main YES network article. I mean, it's its own channel. And as such, the YES Network HD deserves its own page. In my experience, only local channels provide straightforward simulcasts. Most "cable HD simulcast channels" are semi-simulcast, in the sense that not every program is upconverted from its original format. Although a stub, in time it will seperate more and more from just being a straigtforward simulcast. I am open to criticsm. -- Sam916 05:18, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Look at the dispute on whether to add DT pages for local TV stations. This is very similar. In January 2009, all analog TV broadcast signals will cease to exist. At that time, it will make sense to change, for example, the page for WCBS-TV to WCBS-DT.

Now the HD dispute is similar. Evenually the HD channels will replace the analog networks, including YES.

The only reasoning for YES HD to be a separate page would be if the programming was different than YES proper, and not just the fact that its broadcast in HD. However, that is not the case.

This page probably doesn't belong in Category:HD channels anymore. Should it warrant a new category, "Channels offered in HD"? Or am I misunderstanding this category? Morgan Wick 03:14, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Costs

Why no mention of this? Or the fact it costs everyone quite a bit per month? J. M. 05:39, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

• YES is on basic or expanded basic, so while the individual cost has been speculated at over $2.00 per month, it is officially unknown to the public.

[edit] FSN

Doesn't the "branded" YES logo look like the FSN logo?

[edit] Edit war?

I hate these things, but there seems to be an edit war between myself and NYYankee2684 over this article. He as made changes in the past that are filled with redundancies and spelling errors, and I have cleaned it up every time. He thanks me for reverting back to his version every time. Now, it is my belief that NYYankee2684 is using an alias IP address, "24.48.98.59", to further vandalize this page. Edits made by both NYYankee2684 and the IP are similar in both subject and style. The IP also left an uncivil remark directed at me in an edit summary after one of their revertions of the YES Network article. This "user" has also blanked out their talk page, making the connection that much more obvious to me. I have undid the previous revertion again, and have asked administrator Firsfron for assistance.

If you really dislike edit wars, you can reduce the rate of their incidences by trying to de-escalate the situation, and not referring to good-faith edits as vandalism. I appreciate that you have taken the time to discuss the dispute here. Let's see what NYYankee has to say. For now, the page is protected, and cannot be modified. I will keep a watch on events. For the record, it is obvious that NYY is also 24.48.98.59. Firsfron of Ronchester 19:09, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
