We all know how Universal is all about HD-DVD right now, but I thought it was funny while watching Universal HD channel the other day, that they had Blu-Ray advertising on their channel. A future omen perhaps? hmmmm

That is kind of funny.

How tied is Universal HD the channel to Universal the movie studio though?

dont know the answer to that one or how ads work either

Maybe they charged them more?

I bet the advertising portion is completely different. They have a group that sells advertising and that group probably knows nothing about HD DVD or anything. I wonder if when the ad was sold, the group buying had a little snicker and thought "wow.. they let us buy it - this is great!"

Actually, Universal Music Group is on the BDA list of supporters.

Yes, i've seen this too and wondered about it.

they weren't advertising music though - just movies.

It's kind of funny that GE Plastics helped build a Blu-ray disc manufacturing plant. Not sure how they are affiliated with GE Universal.
