We can probably put this thread to bed in a few days.
oh, I wouldn't be so sure about that......there are plenty of folks that will keep this alive. actually, they'll probably just start new threads like usual....

I think this thread can be deleted now...
I request that this thread be retired.
Really? What did we really get yesterday? So far I haven't seen much HD content on all these "wonderful" additions. TWC?? Where is this billion/trillion dollar HD studio everyone was lathered up about? Haven't seen any HD there. CNBC? Don't even bother with the Disney garbage. MGM? Flipping ahead through the program guide there isn't one program that would slightly draw my attention on that channel. Hallmark? Give me a break. Last night I flipped through the new channels and less than a quarter of them had some sort of HD content at one time.
Looks to me like we lost the VOOM channels which actually had HD content, like them or not, and got "Dished-up" a big bowl of red herring soup. :
Join me in writing your congressional reps and the fcc and demand that in order for a provider to claim HD programming and charge for it, the channel must contain at least 75% true HD content, excluding commercials. As long as they can stretch a program and feed it as HD, they will continue to rip us off with phony HD programming
Do you really think that is feasible? All channels/networks have an extensive library of programming that has been built up over the years, much of which is repeated (some more than others) over an extended period of time. HD is in its infancy. While much (most?) new programming is produced in HD, the library of material available does not exist to program channels 24/7 with HD content without extensive repeats (a la VOOM).
Where's my VOOM!
"Bastards."
This is simple. WHEN will I see Buffalo, NY locals in HD?
REALLY...
Thanks,
