I am not the only one!!! We missed out on "Lost" because the screen was black the whole recording. ABC channel 2 is horrible with pixelation and the deadly green screen effect. It has gotten MUCH worse lately, not able to go a minute without seeing it again. They need to figure it out, my...

I DID NOT SAY THAT DISH WOULD BROADCAST GAMES ON CHANNELS THAT WEREN'T TURNED ON! A quick lesson in reading comprehension would reveal that I was talking about ACTUAL carried channels and ACTUAL HD broadcasted games on those ACTUAL carried channels. What I am saying is that there is less...

HA! That is the most generic (DirecTV no less) blog report I've ever seen. EngadgetHD's report is recent and they are usually very reliable. Here's the link: http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/04/01/fox-sports-scaling-back-hd-mlb-coverage/ EDIT: I was referring to HD MLB games (which I...

The SELECT HD games does not mean that Dish is going to arbitrarily choose which games that are already shown in HD on the network to actually broadcast on satellite. It means that the Regional Sports Networks ALREADY choose certain games to broadcast in HD, and those will be the ones Dish...

I'm sorry, but I've got to AMEN this!!! P Smith, you are great, but I need a translator!

ahh...i thought it was the 622's...would've been a feature of 4.01

someone on avs is reporting the channel mapdowns: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=813208 can anyone verify this?

Tell this to everyone who rushed out to get a Playstation 3. There was such an uproar by RP CRT owners that they had to make a statement as soon as the news broke that all their 720p games would DOWNCONVERT to 480p rather than scale to 1080i. CRT owners were screwed, and they were angry. I...

Looking forward to seeing your responses, I have been looking forward to this feature ever since I first got my 622.

Awesome about the MLS going HD, I have been suffering through SD upconvert for 2 years now!!!!

after going through 2 211's with bad hdmi ports, my 622 has worked fine (I NEVER touch the cable anymore!)

they really do need to add that feature (16:9 on tv2)

You can also choose to NOT map down the HD channels to their SD counterparts. It is an option in the menus. If you DO choose to map them down, then they are right next to the SD (not on top of it as some had feared). The HD and SD recording priority was also a nice feature to help keep...

great discussion, whether or not it fits exactly under the thread title. it works like regular conversations, they drift and return, over and over again. lots of good information Kotches and Landis.

The HD follows the SD pattern. SD in your regular package, then HD in your HD package. Nat Geo is only available in the top package, so you must subscribe to that package for the HD version. As for it being the only non-premium to not be in the pack, if you think about it, it is a premium...
