I'm just kidding.  What a nice surprise today for us Chicagoland subscribers! I'm excited about being able to watch almost half of Cubs broadcasts in HD.

Yikes! Just watching Haunting on Discovery HD and they are doing some panoramic kind of thing where the center of the screen in normal but as you move to the sides of the screen the picture gets more and more stretched. Very bad looking!

The next HD CSN Cubs game I can find is Monday afternoon. Then a Sox game Monday night.

Very bad looking! | I have an Olevia 32" LCD upstairs and it has a panoramic setting that looks just like you are describing. Why a manufacturer would waste an aspect ratio setting on that is beyond me. It looks like a fun house mirror.

The PQ seems very good to my eyes. On my oldy Panasonic 53" RS I've noticed on the MPEG4 channels (most noticable on Nat Geo) there is a sometime tendency for a bluish outline on the right side of faces. Never see that with the MPEG2 stations. But so far on the new MPEG4 channels I haven't seen it at all. The PQ looks outstanding to me. (I'm speaking only about the PQ as piped by Dish. They have no control over the stretchovision).

"Really Big Things" on Discovery HD looks great right now. Full 16x9. Aerial shots looked great. Even the wife said.. "Now that's HD"

"Now that's HD" | I yelled for my wife to come upstairs to watch the Burj Dubai / Ski Dubai segment. I got to ski in there last May, but the video I took was all 15fps and 320x200 with my Olympus. The HD camera work looks much better.
The pictures I took of the Burj Dubai were taken when it was only 42 stories tall. The current state is 145 stories, over 100 more than when I was there in May 2006. For more, check out Burj Dubai Official Website.
Mythbusters looks like SD zoomed, though.
