    Normally I'm skeptical of new channel promises, especially national HD, but I do have to say that Charlie has more-or-less come through so far.

    So while I am right now perfectly happy with NetFlix/Blu-Ray/HDDVD for my movies I am very much interested in the new national HD channels announced. Am I correct in inferring from an earlier post that by 8/14 we may get some in addition to those already announced? IAC I really am hoping for non-premium/non-shopping nationals.

    FX-HD, RFD-HD anyone?

    Good thing I just dumped my component cables in favor of HDMI. It wouldn't surprise me at all if HDMI were the only connection out of the 622/722 that supports 1080p. That's the way it is on my Blu-ray player, and I fear it may be the only configuration officially sanctioned by the content providers.

    i for one posted several times that a software upgrade was enough to make this happen. i compared it to what was done to the xbox360 . a firmware upgrade updated the 360 to display 1080p and i saw the improvement immediately.

    He probably meant the 722s coming out next year. There has already been some discussion about that model supporting 1080p VOD.

    I would be SHOCKED if 1080p can be output via component cables. HDMI is the only true digital connection. Everything else is analog.

    Same here. Not a complaint. I just dont think it's big news. I had never thought on whether or nto the hardware would support it. Never crossed my mind.

    150 channels will mean I might actually be able to view 100. This is great news!!!

    I wonder how much the VOD movies will cost to rent....

    this is why the pic will be better.
