Free Showtime Preview--no Showtime HD?

[bookwalk]

I don't remember the last Showtime Preview (or HBO) but didn't they have the HD corresponding channel to preview also? That really determines my subscribing or not--maybe the PQ is not that great on them if they aren't showing them?

The PQ on Showtime HD can range from good to mediocre. The resolution is good, but it doesn't always get sufficient bandwidth. The type of program being shown can affect your perception, a drama with little fast motion and with a lot of well-lit scenes can look pretty good. Sometimes it gets good bandwidth and even fast-action stuff is good.

As far as present DishHD goes, Showtime is one of the better quality channels.
