HDNet Movies is now 1440x1080i? No

[BFG]

Ok firewire folks we need you to look at HDNet because according to a user on AVSForum he claims he recorded Iron Eagle off HDNet movies and the stream said it was 1440x10080i

I was recording Iron Eagle off dish (a great cheesy movie by the way) and I saw this was 1440x1080 @ 15mbs. I knew Voom was going lite but HDNet? I am appalled. Does Mark Cuban know about this? I am about to drop E* if this crap don't stop. The bad thing is I live in the boonies and NO OTA and no HD cable. My only choices are dish and direct and now they are all HD-lite.......Sad sad sad day for High Definition.

I watched part of Iron Eagle last night and I did not think it was as clear as the average HDNet movie

Kool... I didn't think Cuban would let this happen.

I recorded "Winged Migration" off of HDNMV a couple of weeks ago. Incredible!

nope still 1920x1080i with 17 Mbps Video, just a Hokie said, but this won't last for long folks

Dish has chosen HD-Lite and it is here to stay
