Daily UHD schedules for November.

I am glad to see there are two more opportunities to catch Apollo 13 in HD in November.

Yeah, I like the Dts-Dvd version better soundwise

Yeah, I like the Dts-Dvd version better soundwise

True - an excellent DVD; and with 1080i upconvert, it looks very good.

Alas, sound is often not quite as good on Universal HD; that is particularly true for U571; the DVDs depth charges blew away the sound on the Universal HD presentation.

Watching Apollo 13 from my DVR of Universal HD's broadcast last night. What a treat. Great PQ; great sound; great movie. :up :up

"imagine a computer you could fit in a room..." Jim Lovell, talking to visitors at NASA.

I caught parts of Dragonheart last weekend (from D*HD) good sound (the way I'm set up D*is hooked to a Receiver so I get 5.1 if it is available)

I saw part of Dragonheart; it looked good.

Still watching Apollo 13; it gets better and better!!! This is an example of where I WISH we had External Hard Drive support for the E* 622. A definite keeper.

As are all the BSG's

As are all the BSG's

Without a doubt. Although with the 1080upconvert on my DVD player, I am pretty happy with the quality I am getting from the first season DVDs. (Second season is on my christmas list! )

 

[dfergie]

Other than the lack of 5.1 sound I tend to watch my Replay BSG mpegs more ( have only season 1 and 2.0, no 2.5 yet on Dvd)

 

[dfergie]

Hail, hail rock and roll is on UHD, pretty good PQ...
