AFAIK the rebrand is just that and there is no suggestion that any contracts between VM and NBC Universal have expired, been renewed or renegotiated. Therefore I would not expect any change to the VM line-up other than the name change for now. If Universal HD does appear any time soon its unlikely to be related to the Hallmark rebranding and would be part of separate ongoing negotiations between VM and NBC Universal.

To avoid disappointment you should try not to connect the two events.
You're trying to spoil all our fun. We like to get our hopes up about potential HD launches and then live in the dissapointment that follows when they don't.
