RDS’s HD channel launched today with the first regular-season game of the Canadiens (we won, by the way). The network plans over 1,000 hours of HD programming in the first year (an average of 3 hours a day for us idiots who can’t do basic math), including full HD coverage of the entire Habs season and playoffs.

The channel is available on:

• Videotron Illico HD channel 633
• Bell ExpressVu channel 863
• Cogeco cable channel 540 (only in Quebec)
• StarChoice channel 266
