    Scott: Dish HD Quality Question

    ugh. I just called DN what a waste of time and aggravation. The person I spoke with maintained nothing has changed with the picture quality of their HD channels (specifically HBO and SHOW) and that he has no reason to believe their is any issue as I am the first person he has heard commenting...

    Scott: Dish HD Quality Question

    Scott: Dish HD Quality Question

    Scott, Does this mean you expect to see HBO-HD and Showtime-HD return to 1920x1080? Any thoughts on if the other HD movie channels, MaxHD, StarzHD, HDNet, etc, will ever return to 1920x1080? I haven't been following things to closely lately but when is the mpeg4 transition happening...
