Wonder why it's not in the Uplink? They are both definitely lit up and showing crappy SD programming.

Oh, please, let's not whine because the content stinks. We have all been whining for these channels forever. Besides, you can't expect all HD content for many, many years yet.

They should at least make an effort. They are showing a 16:9 show (Taken) in 4:3 so you have side bars and top and bottom bars. SciFi should at least zoom up 16:9 programming to 16:9. I guess it is too much to ask for them to at least zoom SD letterboxed programming to 16:9 on the HD channel.

 

[LASooner]

At least they aren't squishing it, so Zoom will work on that content.

You should have done this a month of go ... you would have saved A LOT of posts ...

 

[Jim S.]

Strange that they didn't make Chiller available though.

 

[tsduke]

Why didn't digi's program catches these changes?

 

[hockeynut5150]

Usa Hd / Sci Fi Hd

cool! I don't really care for those channels, but I guess lots of people will be happy now that they're on

now if only they'd make NESN HD available full time

 

[teamlazyboy]

Digi may not have the system running, there have been som many problems with locals that he may have it down working on it

 

[tomcrown1]
