SD vs HD

Is there anyway to get SD channels on a HD reciever like Dish does? Thanks

Sure, you can tune to sd channels instead of hd ones, if there is an sd version.

If you do not choose one way or the other in the guide, you will see double of the channels that have a SD as well as a HD, I think the 1st one is SD, but it's been a long time since I had my set up that way, it could be the other one.
You can also set up the guide to show ONLY SD channels.

All that shows up on the reciever are HD ones. How do I convert so I see SD channels?

Go into the menu and click setup, system setup, display, preferences, guide hd channels, and change it to show all channels.

Or Hide HD channels would do it as well, depending on what options you have, they have changed the way the set up looks on various recvrs

If you did that, when you go to the guide, you'll now see both versions in the guide .

I'll from time to time do that when the weather gets real bad and if I need to I'll switch back to the SD version as that will last longer than the HD will.

I'll switch to the SD channel when the HD channel is showing stretch-o-vision (TBS HD is an example)

1st channel in the guide is the HD version...2nd is SD

also the giant [HD] in the programming name is a giveaway too

Thanks Ice, I haven't looked at the guide with both in it in quite awhile.

I had one of my receivers freeze up so I did a master reboot and thats why I saw both SD & HD in there

They don't stretch much content now do they? I know HGTV does.

Not near as much as they used to. Yesterday for example, I went to watch "The Ringer" labeled in glorious HD on TBS. When I tuned to the channel it was in big shoulder mode. Ended up watching it on TBS SD

Normally if I expect to see something in HD and turn it on and its not, I change the channel and watch something else.
