Wliw Hd

[martin21]

Am the last person to notice that WLIW 721 is broadcasting selected programs in HD: Word World, NOVA, Nature, Austin City Limits and Jakers? I don't think I have seen anything on this in any of the posts.

You're probably the first person to notice. I've become accustomed to skipping it.

I have noticed the guide flags them as HD but I do not think there are?
I will have to check it out.

still no hd on this channel

I have now watched Nova on WLIW 721 and it was definitely in HD. Note the limited list of programs I noted in my original post.

I just put 721 on the box, it is a SD channel. 480i resolution, so how the heck is HD being broadcast over it if it is 480i? Just curious.

I think that 721 is a PBS channel because I've seen some of the "HD" that has been on 721 on channel 713. I think that 721 is just a SD channel that is in the wrong spot.

I am not techie enough to challenge Delorean or Cforest on technical grounds. I would ask that they both tune in to 721 at a time they have an HD broadcast. Try Word World tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. If your not home, record it. If you still don't agree, so it goes.

As I understand the history, WLIW was broadcasting in HD before it was acquired by Thirteen and then it stopped. That may be why it is where it is on Cable at 721.

Any way, not that important since there is not much HD on it anyhow.
