I always wondered why NASA TV has never gone HD or better yet 4K!
Yeah, I have too. My conclusion: not enough of us watch NASA at all to justify it. We do apparently watch a TON of reality TV. :crying

I watch NASA, when I do, via my NASA app on my Apple TV. It is in all its glory there.

A little off topic but I always wondered why NASA TV has never gone HD or better yet 4K! Its currently a SD channel that would simply play the SD content on a HD channel. Or be eliminated? The other I frequently watch is Hallmark SD and watching the Waltons on the Hopper Plus with no format ability sucks!
Can your TV do ZOOM?

It has the ability but when I tried that it not available and if I select format, it only shows standard. It's a Samsung un49mu8000. Dish has the SD on letterbox stretched out to a very distorted picture to me. No Dish picture settings.

NASA: I think because NASA is a public service channel like CSPAN, you can view NASA in HD from their app on streaming devices. I rarely watch any channel in SD on Dish, so yeah i'd be one of the ones that wouldn't notice if they were gone, other than not seeing them on the guide.

My Samsung has a pix shape button on the remote that corrects most problems like this.
