Just turned on the Tv and saw the new channels.....
Nice.....
Here on the West Coast, the new HD channels are up for me as well.
They all say off air, but selecting them, thar be programming in process! yay!now for my 622 software update. LOL
I guess I have to go to bed soon so it can do its thing after hours.
They don't appear to be Stretch-o-Vision, they appear to be Crop-o-vision.
Looks like the discovery channels are all zoomed to mask the 4:3 image to 16:9.
Titles, credits and lower 3rd text all appear to be cropped instead of the TNT stretch. I don't know if I like this yet. The HD programs look good though.

this is awesome. new channels r up for me in Chicago. Also they finally put Comcast HD channel up. very excited with all of this.
I want my NASA-HD !
Yknow.. Me too dude.. I wish Dish carried all 3 of the SD channels from the C band in the meantime, but I'd love NASA in HD.
Saw that myself ... now all three ofmy RSN's are in HD. (Fox North, FoX Midwest and now Comcast Chicago) Wow ... this was a pleasant surprise!
Here they looked cropped to about 15:9 with narrow black bars on either side. Not all SD shows are 'safe' at that aspect ratio, so it's an interesting decision. Expect to see a fair amount of chopped heads.
Cheers
