    And EI....My main reason for going with Direct over Dish. Plus the fact that Direct carries twice as many of my locals in HD than Dish

    5. SPEED - I don't know about this one. I do like NASCAR in HD. But I bet the rest is SD
    6. FUEL - Never heard of this channel before DirecTV got it and still have no idea what it is.
    7. FX - HD sports and some reruns.
    8. FOX NEWS - I thought no one liked Fox News? HD Ticker...
    9. FOX BUSINESS - HD Ticker...
    10. SPIKE - Few of HD a day at best, all reruns. Unwatchable Stretch-o-vision the rest of the time?
    11. NICKELODEON - Don't know about this one.
    12. HBO-W - Good, but it's a premium service, not part of the HD package
    13. SHO-TOO - Good, but it's a premium service, not part of the HD package
    14. THE MOVIE CHANNEL - Good, but it's a premium service, not part of the HD package, though this channel generally BLOWS.
    15. STARZ-W - Good, but it's a premium service, not part of the HD package
    Yup, the average joe with no concept of real HD programming will love this crap!

    See ya

    You are wrong about Spike. Spike shows a lot of HD movies and HD repeats. Their SD stuff is not stretched at all. It is kept in its original 4:3 format and the PQ is 100 times better than that on the SD channel

    Thanks for clearing that up, I knew I had not seen it stretched, but that doesnt mean there wasnt some that I had missed

    Maybe you should go to a friend's house with DirecTV and try to watch the channels before giving a critique.

    Speed - You bet wrong. All of their new NASCAR content is HD. AMA is HD. Most of their reality shows (auction auctions, Pass Time, etc) are HD. F1, ARCA, and Rolex are upconverted 16:9 widescreen.

    FX - Huh? They rarely show spots except for the odd overrun coverage during the baseball playoffs. Most of their HD is original series like Nip/Tuck, The Riches, etc.

    Spike - Their new original programming seems to be HD more often than not (Ultimate Fighter, Pros vs. Joes, DEA, 1000 Ways to Die, etc) All those CSI/CSI:NY reruns are a bit more than a few hours a day of HD too. And, btw, they don't stretch anything.

    Herein lies the problem. There are too many people who think like this. Why spend the money to get a widescreen HD tv just to watched a distorted picture? Where's the consumer outrage to demand better SD picture quality? Where's the outrage to demand high-quality HD picture quality? Hopefully, this way of thinking will change when hd viewers become the majority instead of the way it is now.

    Spike does not stretch at all. And most of their daytime and all of their primetime content is now in HD

    Yeah, that's what we need. Channels that show reruns all the time. Yeah!

    I see your point, but the difference is voom tended (from what little I saw) to repeat the SAME content more frequently. The reruns on spike are different shows
