Referring to the Myth Busters episode last night following Really Big Things:
Myth Busters PQ did not look as sharp and detailed as Really Big Things on my 720p 30" LCD HDTV.

The real problem for me on several including Discovery Science is the stretched picture. You lose some from top and bottom and some have side bars. Not as bad as many TNT shows. I'm sure this is noted before, just reinforcing.

On my 1080P 60" SXRD HDTV, I saw things like JH - Really Big Things looked sharp, Mythbusters a little softer. But I'm not complaining yet. They both looked better than ever. Just stop the stretching the rest of the day and I'll be pretty happy with Disc HD!

I was watching TLC for a awhile and I swear the aspect changed some a few times. At times there would be black bars on the sides. About 1"-2" on my 52" tv.

The shows I saw on the new channels some where not taking up the screen like they should. But that is due to how the show was produced to where others look really good. So the PQ will differ from show to show on the new channels added.

Has anyone had any luck with the program guide containing programming information (the new HD channels of course)? Some on mine still say No program guide data or something. Just wondering.
