Can anyone viewing these HD highlights estimate the fraction of video that shows views of the earth? My guess is about 1%. To me the only reason for taking an HD camera up there is to show earth views.
FD6 HD crew choice downlink was approx 12 min in length - as shown on live NASA TV before crew sleep.

There used to be a thread dedicated to NASA HDTV but that seems to have disappeared, so I'll start a new one for this.First - if you go to http://nasa.gov/ntv you will now see a "schedule" button on the left side which lists all the channels at the same time.
NASA Television is moving to AMC-3 C-band - 87 degrees West longitude, transponder 15H on or around the weekend of January 16, 2010.
FYI, this is going to be a hot switch. There will be no period of overlap so you can't schedule your rework effort
