Test Channels 9300 & 9301 should stay on ! *Update: They are up now!

[rad]

The channels are coming in for me , but Dirty jobs is upconverted looks a littel better than the SD version. Hope this is not how its going to stay & will be in full HD.

Looks a little better, with the HD version you can see a LOT more detail in the sh*t (they're at a sewage plant).

Yah, this smells worse.....like hd lite

D* cant make it HD if Disc is upconverting it. If the PQ on NatGeo right now is an example of things to come, Im very happy.

Questioner I am unable to see the test signal. Are you telling me your eyes are telling you that the signal is HD lite?

Or are you just typing garbage again?

No, I am just saying upconverts stink in a similiar if not worse way than directvs hd lite.

Once again, its NOT a PQ test, its an AUTHORIZATION TEST.

Please do not judge these channels on their PQ (especially since they are both showing upconverted programming)

And how is Discovery Channel HD on DirecTV any different then Discovery Channel HD which is on Dish Network.

DirecTV and Dish Network do not control the programming.

75% of the new channels will be UPCONVERTED most of the day. This is not something being done by Dish or DirecTV.

I really wish you'd move to a fios forum or just get banned. You are obviously anti D* and never offer anything to a conversation.

Scott, it may not be a test but the NatGeo PQ is NICE!

Yep, upconverting stinks on any provider.
