    Planet Earth On Discovery HD Theater 3/25/07

    In setting up my DISH ViP622 to record this series, I found that choosing the option to record "New Episode" events does not work because the programming guide shows the first three 'episodes' on tonight (3/25) are "Not New Episodes" and carry an "Original Air Date" of 8/20/2006. I wound up...

    NASA on HDNet - LIVE!

    I got to watch the Discovery deorbit and landing this afternoon, as much of a thrill as the launch. The landing track path was just north of Houston (on the way to Florida) and the NASA announcer had said we might be able to hear the twin sonic booms, and I am pretty sure I heard them right at...

    Let's talk about VOOM.

    I do watch a number of the 'Voom' channels and there is often good stuff on one or more of them. I saw an offbeat movie tonight on the World movie channel: "Easy Money", a kind of send-up of the "The Thomas Crown Affair"; the dialog was in chinese with english subtitles but it was just off-beat...

    I thought it was terrific! I enjoyed this first episode very much in High Definition. I agree that the lip synch was ever so slightly off at times. But from the perspective of having watched the original series during the 1960's, this was technically exquisite to me. My 50 inch plasma feels...

    HDNet to Provide LIVE Exclusive High Def Coverage of Launch of Atlantis - Saturday!

    Yes, it was gorgeous. A minor oddity: I had HDNET on my big plasma (TV1), and the NASA channel on my little TV (TV2). There was an approximate 12 second lag from the NASA channel to HDNET, so liftoff actually occurred 12 seconds before it was visible on my HDNET (over DISH ViP622). I suppose...

    Which HD Cinema Movies have you seen?Would you like to post your review of the movie?

    Inherit The Wind I got to watch this terrific film on the Family HD channel. The visual appearance & detail (B&W) is excellent. Having it now on my 50 inch plasma made it much more intense than when I had seen it on TV previously on a small SD screen. Also, the pacing feels better than when...

    Exclusive to Satguys: Summary of Sept 2006 of All Voom Channel Program Guide

    Inherit The Wind was superb! :hatsoff: Thanks for these schedules. I just happened across "Inherit The Wind" on the Family HD channel this afternoon, and it looked absolutely terrific. The detail was exquisite down to the beads of sweat in the wrinkles on the faces of Spencer Tracy and...
