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...

Thursday will be a fun day with new channels, or a big letdown with more "coming soon" rumors!

ABC channel 2 HD primetime and daytime. Maybe it just happens to me :)

I am talking about ABC HD primetime channel 2.

the Senior Bowl in Mpeg4 right now doesn't look nearly as good as I'd hoped. I haven't watched nflhd much before the switch (just checking it out now to see PQ differences), and it looks like it is pixellating pretty badly and isn't very sharp. Hope espn2 looks better than this.

it happens on ABC channel 2 ALL the time (my wife complains of it during her General Hospital DVR's, and we watch a lot of ABC primetime programming).

Thanks scooby for continuing to mount the argument. Most HDTV's are not 1920 x 1080 true resolution. CRT's are, and I'm lucky enough to have one. But it is an RCA, so I have to do convergence about once every 30 seconds (ha, not really, but I do have to check it often).

ATL locals do the same crappy thing.

I understood the argument you were making Scott. Most HDTV's in real people's homes display at a resolution of 1366 x 768, 1280 x 720, 1024 x 720, or something similar (flat panel lcd's and plasma's at least). CRT sets can display a full resolution of 1920 x 1080. Most of the sets in people's...

And charging you "nuts" for an extreme premium. Sunday Ticket and the HD games pricing is crazy.

So these new encoders could be used on the locals in the near future? If so, bring it on and let's have better and more HD all around.
