    HDN 100 News

    It is puzzling that they have some good HD clips from sources like the election speeches but then choose to only show a single sound-byte from the speech. It may be a licensing issue but it would be nice if they interrupted the loop every now & then to run a complete speech or a longer segment...

    7/1 HD Cinema Premiere Movies

    I wonder why "The Thing with Two Heads" is on the Cinema 10 channels? This one would have been perfect for the Monsters channel. It must be very uncomfortable for actors to appear in any two-headed parts. Another good (bad) one was "How to Get Ahead in Advertising".

    What's up with the 3D-GLASSES channels?

    Did anybody see a 3D effect on the Discovery footage of Mars? I tried it a couple of times and it just gave me blurry vision and a headache. These "anaglyph" type 3D images work good on my PC with the same glasses. If any of you have not been to an Imax 3D movie, you are missing out. The "Space...

    Enterprise Fans

    I was lucky enough to catch it in OTA HD last night and it looked great. Hopefully your UPN affiliates will get their act together soon for you. My local UPN station airs the Wednesday show in HD but then will show it as letterboxed SD on the Sunday reruns. Why, I haven't a clue. Good show but a...

    What would you like to see in HDnews?

    How about a news analysis featuring Michael Moore and Michael Savage? Wait, there may be children present. How about adding the news to HdNews? The weather and the first five minutes of news are good but then we get a "feature" on Dallas dog parks or the creator of the Philly cheese steak...

    MAXHDW- Daredevil

    My copy of Superman is remastered in DD5.1 and is OAR anamorphic widescreen. Don't you just hate it when you buy a new DVD and then they release the embossed, signed, boxed, special edition, director's cut with commentary by the caterer and an action figure included when the one they sold you...

    MAXHDW- Daredevil

    Make that three of us having enjoyed it. I watched it again last night and it was fairly entertaining. Maybe the fact that I originally had to pay about $40 to see it for the first time (#2 tickets @ $9.50, $20 for junk food & drinks, plus $10 for parking) gave me a very bad attitude about this...

    MAXHDW- Daredevil

    "Not a great movie" is being way too kind. It was truly awful. Glad the PQ helped. :D

    MonstersHD: Evil Dead Today at 12pm & 7pm CST

    Fantastic, never saw the first one but really liked ED II & III. Bruce Campbell was also rather entertaining in his short-lived western series "The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr." but I have not seen it show up in syndication. P.S. Do not buy the Army of Darkness "Director's Cut, Official...

    Disappointed with HD vs DVD movies

    What sort of programming is available on the C-Band? Always wanted one but they are frowned upon for apartment dwellers such as myself.

    Disappointed with HD vs DVD movies

    Glad others noticed the frames being dropped in The Matrix Reloaded. It was making me nuts last night but found that other channels were not showing this problem. PQ was excellent, other than some of the fight scenes looking like a slideshow. Siffl, if you are having to zoom-in and seeing a...

    Any word on Athens Olympics for Bravo HD?

    Thanks, will keep my fingers crossed. It looks like I may have found a new use for that old VCR collecting dust. Just need to connect it at a friend's house who has both cable and NBC...

    Any word on Athens Olympics for Bravo HD?

    Have found lots of conflicting info on whether there will be any HD coverage of the Olympics on Bravo HD. My local NBC affiliate, KRON4, was dumped by NBC for airing too much of their own productions so now I have no OTA NBC at all. Judging by the recent Salt Lake City coverage, they may have a...

    Cinema 10: 5/11 New Movies...

    I have a 30" Daewoo direct-view set, a DSC-30W60N. Picture quality is very good on most channels. HD video always looks great but some movies lack detail in dark scenes. Noticed some discussion about Cinema 10 using 720p and thought it may be related to way set upconverts 720p signal to 1080i...

    What I Like about the MonsterHD Channel

    Despite all the repeats, its my favorite Voom channel. I'd rather watch "Teenage Caveman" tonight than see Crusoe or Thelma and Louise again on Cinema 10. Easier to watch a "B" horror movie then just a "B" movie. Especially if there is a pretty leading lady, a few unnecessary characters getting...

    Cinema 10: 5/11 New Movies...

    Do you find the transfers on Cinema 10 are looking too dark? Hope this wasn't covered, I searched to no avail. Not sure if it is partially my equipment. The video on Wrldsprt, Hdnews, etc. looks good as does HBO but I am finding The Cinema 10 films do not have detail in dark scenes or shadows...
