CNN HD Is here, Now LIVE!

Oliver Twist got "something" to eat. We just got the HD equivalent of Oliver's gruel. Now we have to draw straws to see who's going to ask Mr. Bumble for more!

See ya
Tony <-- Thinks CNN HD is a waste of bandwidth since nothing he has seen in the last 24 hours has been HD except the crawl

Tony,
Several shows are in HD on CNN. American Morning, Lou Dobbs Tonight, Anderson Cooper 360 and Your Money. Essentially the ones in NYC. But certainly not my most watched channels.

I have not hada chance to watch much. Are the DC studios in HD?

[allargon]

Anybody had any surround sound engage with this channel? It seems front, center channel heavy (duh) without much going on with the rears or the LFE.

=====Sad commentary========
You people complaining about CNN HD and asking Dish to carry Fox News HD instead give conservatives a bad name. Fox News HD doesn't even exist yet!

Dish has enough problems getting capacity for HD. You want them to do time travel, too?


Fox News HD: What's Taking So Long?

Not at this time, although they are probably planning to update them and other major studios. I would like to see more of their field reports go HD. I see this slowly beginning to happen on other Network news stations.

They just better in full HD for hurricane season.

This is what I can't figure out, as one poster said here that the NY studio is HD ready where as the studio in Atlanta is not. What difference does that make? Isn't after all it's tossing the old cameras out for HD one's or is it more too it?

Hehe... cameras... Only cameras? You wish. You are forgetting about all the processing and editing equipment necessary to broadcast.

Which is why FoxNews hasn't gone HD Yet.. I think they have the cameras.. But they pretty much have to rebuild the rest of the studio systems which are still in the stone age..

Ok.. The verdict is in, in my opinion.. CNN HD on Dish has a much softer picture than DirecTV. Not sure why.. Anyone know if Dish is bit starving CNN more than normal?

After repeated switching between the two, Dish needs to up the PQ.
