yeah, I only posted it in the interest of full disclosure...I am very happy there is this "friendly" competition evolving, as it only means MORE HD FOR ALL OF US, and that can only be viewed as a good thing..
Dish Is now showing TBS HD!

Great post but HBO, Cinemax and Starz play games w/ their movies. They do crop. However, they don't stretch. AFAIK, Showtime is the only that does OAR all the time.
Again, thanks for the great post--it's very informative.
But that would mean no more Dog the Bounty Hunter pocks, wrinkles, and scars in HD anymore! We couldn't have that, could we?
Has there been any HD episodes of Dog on this channel?
I've only seen the upconverts / 4x3 (pre uplink fire)

Scott,
Do you have anymore information on this whole Bob thing? It's great to be able to watch the playoffs in HD again!
Congrats Scott on seeing last nights awesome game in person but I will say seeing it in HD at my house in LA, CA was beautiful. Thanks Bob and all the rest of us who complained about not getting TBS-HD after watching the whole season with NESN-SD while my sister in law talked about NESH HD was getting to me.
I got a taped phone call from Dish this morning letting me know of the channel addition... anyone else??
Go Sox

Yes, those Comcast bastards...
I hate that company with the firery passion of hell!
Well, not that much I guess.
It is irritating.
I don't know. I purposely watch the SD channel because of Dog's face and Beth's rack. I'm not crazy enough to even attempt to look at them in HD. Scumbags!

I'm still waiting to see what is going on too. I'm glad everyone can see the playoffs in hd now, and glad to see the scrubs loose. LOL but I did have invested interest as a Chicagoan. So, Maybe Next year will be the year for the SOX! But I'm still an MLB Fan, and I'm still hoping that dish does get MLB extra innings for next year! If they did I would be signing up for it again, just like I did for Center Ice this year. So for now I root for the Rockey's for my wife who is a native Coloradoan (Colorado Springs).
As far as my future relationship with Dish Network? Who knows. For now after a long talk with my wife I'm keeping Dish at least for the next month to see how dish responds, and I'm getting Directv concurrently installed. We will see how it turns out and then we will decide what will be best for us! I think dish knows fully what they have to do... and they have room for 18 or so channels do do it on if they leave the current hd ppv situation alone.
Personally I would love to see dish kill all but two or three of those hd ppv channels and use the rest for national HD. That will actually strengthen the offerings of HD PPV as they wont have as many repeats, while adding national hd and overall competing with Directv. Most likely anyhow anyone who is ordering HD PPV is DVRing it anyhow or has some sort of archiving ways so an all day ticket really isn't needed.
