Poll - IFC, WE, FUSE, and SUNDANCE - will any be in HD?

[dare2be]

I've seen it pretty ugly even on 26" LCDs and Plasmas...not so on my 36" CRT HDTV

The answer to this question is NO.

Fuse will be on channel 164
IFC will be on channel 298
Sundance will be on 358
WE will be on 128

All will be in Free Preview.

Disappointed in Sundance not being in HD. I could have sworn it was in HD before being pulled from the BB@Home package.

yea up to maybe 27" sets.Beyond that it starts getting pretty ugly.

I have my 722K TV2 out connected to my basement 37" 720p lcd tv via 25' composite cables and the pq is fine on that set. Yes, it's certainly not as nice as the HD from ota or Netflix, but it's still very watchable.

Also, it looks far better than when I had it connected with RG6. This might be the biggest problem people are having with SD pq. Connecting to the rf input and not with composite or S Video. Monoprice has high quality composite and s-video cables for reasonable prices.

HD channels down converted to 480i by the TV2 output look much better than native 480i channels from dish. It's not all because of resolution. Just check any channel that Dish has in both HD and SD.

Yep I have to agree with you king3pj.I can also say that digital sd channels on clear qam charter cable are better than Dish sd channels,heck even a couple of the analog channels are better.You'll never convince me that both Dish and Dtv compress sd channels to death since the boom in HD.Back before we upgraded to hd here I had all S-video connections with those heavy duty cables and,sd on Dish just got worse over time.

Another cog in the wheel could be the receiver. I swear that when I switched from the 625 (SD receiver) to the 722 that the SD channel quality immediately went down.

That's definitely possible.
