For what it’s worth, I am the latest person to be ripped off from History Channel. The show “Abandoned” I submitted to History back in Feb 2011. It is now on History Channel, but it’s not mine. After contacting A&E Entertainment, They basically said that I am out of luck!!!!

My next documentary is about how Networks rip off ideas!!

Don’t know if this discussion is still alive or not, but here is the info I found regarding the HVX200:

The AG-HVX200 is a fixed-lens hybrid camcorder released in December 2005 for 60 Hz market and April 2006 for 50 Hz market. The camcorder allows file-based recording onto P2 cards, as well recording onto traditional MiniDV cassettes.
The imaging section employs a 3CCD system with 1/3 inch sensors, each having about 520,000 photosites. High definition resolution is achieved by both horizontal and vertical spatial offset or pixel shifting, though the effective resolution does not exceed 600 lines either horizontally or vertically.[4]
The camcorder is capable of recording in several standard-definition and high-definition video formats. The image is always scanned progressively at 1920×1080 resolution, then is downsized to target frame size.
Recording formats:
DVCPRO HD: 720p (960×720), 1080i (1280×1080 for 60 Hz regions, 1440×1080 for 50 Hz regions) at 100 Mbit/s
DVCPRO50: 480i for 60 Hz regions, 576i for 50 Hz regions at 50 Mbit/s
DVCPRO: 480i for 60 Hz regions, 576i for 50 Hz regions at 25 Mbit/s
DV: 480i for 60 Hz regions, 576i for 50 Hz regions at 25 Mbit/s
All formats can be recorded onto P2 cards. Only standard DV video can be recorded to MiniDV tapes. In 720p mode the camcorder offers variable shooting rates for overcranking/undercranking.
The updated model, AG-HVX200A, was released in late May 2008. Among other changes, the HVX200A features improved CCDs and an adjusted lens. These changes improved image quality in addition to providing a wider angle of view.

Maybe this will shed some light….

I am very serious about producing a mini documentary about this. Have all of the involved credited.

I feel if it gets out there and enough people see it, there might just be a chance of getting some sort of recognition regarding this issue.

Idea! Everyone in this post should get together and do a documentary about what has happened! Seriously! We have the tools and proof. If it gets enough buzz, it will get coverage and possibly results.

Use your given talent to fight back!
