Fox News HD is up and viewable on 205/9477.

Despite Iceberg's heroic efforts, this thread represents everything that's wrong with SatelliteGuys these days. If your time is truly so valuable that something as small a duplicate thread creates problems for you, then you probably should be spending fewer hours on SatelliteGuys (and on the...

Yup just lost signal here too (S.F., CA).

I've had the "round, round, round in my Hoveround" chorus jolt me upright in my couch more than once. It sounds like Dish is compressing this audio causing it to sound much louder.

Most noticeably on my HD RSN, but really across the board, my HD PQ has improved in the past few weeks. Also, going back over recent threads, there don't seem to be many PQ complaints. Just got my eyes checked, 20-15, so I know it's not between the ears. And I have noticed bad PQ on my...

To "echo" a previous poster, PQ on the HD RSN's is abhorrent. Motion and edge compression artifacts is really compromising the quality of these channels. Faces and details look muddy and pixelated, and any fast action causes the entire picture to macroblock. It's better than SD, but nowhere near...

Echostar's extensive corporate involvement with NASCAR makes the silence on adding this channel particularly puzzling.

There are no full-size HD trucks in Hawaii to handle sports broadcasts. ESPN contracted with a smaller company (and flew in a bunch of equipment) to broadcast the 2007 Hula Bowl in HD. Very much of a makeshift operation though. I think ESPN was trying to show up Fox this year by broadcasting...

For Mojo to acknowledge anything at all is a positive sign. If you dig Mojo, that is. Pretty weak IMHO.

Even the WorldSport HD Web site's note from Paul Giblin this week says we still don't know if we're going to get this game this weekend due to the broadcasting controversy ongoing in Spain. Does anyone know if we will actually get to see El Clasico Sunday morning?

Hi Sean, I can't remember, was Voom's acquisition a one-time showing or is it an exclusive for a period of time? Have we seen them again after the first initial showings?

Back on topic. The Discovery quadruplets look like they crop, but do not stretch, 4:3 SD content. I've also seen the crop jump around, particularly during commercials. Has anybody else seen this? Is it dynamically adjusting itself? Because I've also seen commercials at 16:9 that sure didn't...

Sorry, but no. The Discovery quadruplets appear to broadcast 4:3 SD content at a crop that leaves small black bars on either side. Maybe 15:9. Looks to me to be a straight crop and not stretched. The crop also appears to be dynamic; I've seen it jump around to different ratios during...

Congrats Chicago! Can anyone confirm any other new RSNs in HD? I heave Comcast and get a second 622 the instant Dish carries FSNBA-HD.

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

Let me second Ring Ding's emotion; I archive in this fashion and the quality is very high. The 622 delivers proper 16:9 output to my RCA DVD recorder via S-Video, unlike my Comcrap box. Both options have different benefits; l like being able to play the DVDs in any DVD player, or view/rip...

I don't believe the volume of HD on FSN Bay Area is a factor in its non-carriage on Dish Network. Comcast recently purchased 60 percent of FSN Bay Area, and had been in negotiations with Rainbow (the previous owners) for some time prior. I believe Comcast's involvement, not the volume of HD...

Exactly. (Unless the material in the parenthesis is a complete and free-standing sentence of its own, like this one.)

Why is "Hard Drive" grayed out in my Diagnostics/Analysis screen? Am I in the right place to get my HD diagnostics?

True. Monsters HD has shown three of the four official George Romero 'Dead' films: * Night of the Living Dead (1968) * Dawn of the Dead (1978) * Day of the Dead (1985) These, plus 2005's Land of the Dead, constitute the George Romero branch of the 'Dead' series. John Russo, co-creator of...

NBA-TV hasn't shown many games exclusively, but they've been strategic to snatch up two of Lebron's first-round games. Sorry, I would have posted the NBA-TV HD schedule originally, but I was rushed. The following first-round games were (or will be) broadcast nationally exclusively on NBA-TV...

This stinks... For the first time in two years, it doesn't look like Dish Network will be showing NBA-TV HD games for the playoffs. I don't see anything in the guide for tomorrow or Wednesday's NBA-TV games. What gives? Now 9466 truly is useless.

Unfortunately, and a bit inexplicably, Dish's NBATV HD channel has historically shown only NBA-TV playoff games in HD.

Good news, you're wrong! :) NBA League Pass has had games in HD on 9428/9467 all season. A few a week at least. Some good ones too. PQ has been outstanding and has made League Pass well worth the money. From what I can tell most of the games originate from FSN South or Sun Sports. But as...

Classic SatGuys thread title. Nice one. The 622 has lots of issues with its HDMI port. The "idot" gave pretty good advice. Run component out for video and optical out for audio (if your setup supports it).
