They did, just not on the out dated 722. If you want true hd on more than 1 tv you need to upgrade to the Hopper/Joey. The 722 is antiquated.
So... You never watched a DVD on an HDTV?
DVDs aren't true NTSC, also DVDs don't look particularly good on the larger HDTVs, no.
DVDs look fantastic on my 42" TV, better than some so-called HD channels, via component cables. And how is the MPEG video format of a DVD not NTSC? Taken down to the file, they are 720 x 480, 29.997 fps video files. How is this not NTSC?
When NTSC was created DVDs didn't exist! NTSC is always referring to an RF signal, not a video disc. DVDs have NTSC format but they are not true NTSC. The only relation that DVDs have to NTSC are frame rate and resolution. Color NTSC was put into practice in 1953. DVD was invented in 1995.
Okay so other than the fact that the video signal conforms to NTSC standards in resolution and frame rate, refresh rate, it isn't NTSC.... gotcha. NOT! LOL!
If DVDs aren't NTSC then Dish or Direct TV SD video aren't NTSC either! Haahahaha

Right! As the previous poster said, thank goodness for Wikipedia!
My point was that NTSC (via RF which is what is mostly referred to as NTSC, as opposed to ATSC,) will never look good on HDTVs
.A well mastered dvd played on a good upscaling dvd/bd player connected via HDMI will look good, sometimes very good, especially on a smallish HDTV (42" or less). It won't look great like a bd though.My point was that NTSC (via RF which is what is mostly referred to as NTSC, as opposed to ATSC,) will never look good on HDTVs
The data stored on a DVD has absolutely no relationship to NTSC, ATSC, PAL or any other form or RF TV OTA transmission. It is a data format used by your DVD player which converts it to the correct RF output.
With the right DVD player a DVD can be played back in PAL, NTSC, ATSC, HDMI component/RCA, composite or whatever output format the device can create.

The way it ends up on a TV in the US is via 4x3 29.97fps. 60 Hz, 480 x 720. We can argue minutia all day, but that is NTSC.
That wasn't my point though. Read my previous reply, true NTSC will never look good on an HDTV.

Systems using the NTSC framerate and resolution (such as DVDs) are still referred to informally as "NTSC". NTSC baseband video signals are also still often used in video playback (typically of recordings from existing libraries using existing equipment) and in CCTV and surveillance video systems.
Don't make send TV engineers over to kick ass. DVD's are enhanced def NTSC.

In this case it means it is part of the NTSC system, but isn't the original system definition. That would be due to the fact that it can be either 480i or 480p. Not part of the standard or OTA version. That is what it means. I didn't feel like posting a treatise so I just took a couple of lines out of it.
That's what I've been saying all along! I was referring to NTSC in it's original form, as in OTA or cable.
Well the original was 240 lines. So it is necessary for the deviation in the original specs.
