Did you read my post? :confused: I said on the NEXT consumer format AFTER HD-DVD/BD. Meaning that HD-DVD/BD only support 8bit color.

There is no source available with 10bit color nor is there likely to be for many years. Because of bandwidth limitations is is highly unlikely that satellite would ever carry 10bit color even if it becomes available on the next consumer HD product after HD-DVD/BD. This would likely be 10 years...

You got DD for the entire game and also do every time you watch any HDTV because it is the ONLY way audio can be transmitted in HDTV. DD can be from 1.0 to 5.1 in ATSC. As I said CBS's main programing is almost always in 5.1 and commercials are most often in 2.0. It is the switch between 5.1 to...

CBS almost always switches to 2.0 for commercials. This is what you were probably hearing.

Ironically this is one of the rarest times when a network hopes (and knows) almost no one will be watching it.

In general the way it works is most shows shot on film are shown open matte for SD. 35mm film has an aspect ratio of 1.37 which is close to SD's 1.33. The view finder has marking lines (soft matte) on the top and bottom for the 1.78 frame so the director can see where the main action should be...

No he isn't because he sold his media holdings to Time Warner in circa 1994 (as in well over a decade ago) which was long before TNT-HD and/or stretch-vision was created. You need to do a little history research. Time Warner is 100% responsible and Ted Turner has nothing to do with operations in...

Ted Turner is not affiliated with TNT (or Jane Fonda for that matter).:D

Do they all contain the all important USB HD support?;)

I understand that the programing is in SD but the signal is 1080i HD 100% of the time. So it is an HD OTA channel. Hopefully they will start to add some HD programing but it will probably be a mixed bag of SD, SD stretch-o-vision, HD cropped, with some HD OAR like TNT-HD.

Yes, the TBS OTA is 1080i HD even though it carries only SD sources (up-converted pillarboxed) except for baseball.

I know that it fills in TBS-HD for me but it could be some how be tied to the satellite feed. I will try one of the other channels tonight to see.

Use your son's address. As always the line has to be somewhere (it can't be gray) and if you live across the line then....

You may be confusing the softer look of film telecine to HD with video HD. Film has more than enough resolution for HD (it is theorized that 35mm is equil to about 4000 lines vs. 1080 for HD video) but it still looks like film and doesn't have the pop or wow factor of HD video.

0%, I have never tuned to a SD station.
