Doh!!
I was just at a relative's house, where they have Comcast.
I begged for them to put on Sci-fi HD for just a few minutes so I could drool and torture myself.
:
They reluctantly complied, but just for a few minutes during the commercial of the Celtics game they were watching.
Jericho was on. I don't watch that show, but at least I got to see that Sci-Fi HD does exist in a parallel universe just 20 minutes from my house. PQ was actually rather grainy compared to the game they were watching. Not sure if that's source material differences or station quality or whatever (too many variables of course!). Big @ss TV too - 65" I think, so doubt it would be as pronounced on my little 46" TV.
That was my excitement for Friday night.
