I'm calling shenanigans on THAT statement.. Also I think CBS audio workers must need to fix their hearing aids because the audio is just damn loud compared to the Fox feed..

D* made the announcement on these the day after they lit up. The new transponders on 103(a) are spot beams from D10. I believe they have already moved Salt Lake City, Tampa, Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio off of the Spaceways and on to D10. There have been reports that in those markets, if your remove the BBCs, you lose your locals which indicates the switch has taken already taken place. I can vouch for the new Salt Lake City spot beam being active, but the old Spaceway beam is still showing up too. Once they shut the old ones down and move them around, we know that can add at least six cities on the Spaceway.
Ive got a 720p tv and both channels OTA. Fox NFL is not as sharp as CBS NFL IMHO.
Where do you go to find out what's where as far as the Sats and transponders? Is there anyplace similar to the Echostar Knowledge Base set up for for DTV?
Ka activity is transient and thus far, hard to pin down. The Ku information shows up in attachments to posts occasionally. Unfortunately, Lyngsat is probably the closest thing to an authoritative website.
Visual evidence that that increased still pixel count of 1080i trounces the advantages of progressive scan 720p
I wondered when the thread would degrade into another 720p vs 1080 holy war. Let's bring up DLB too. Let's also start an inane discussion about how bitrate is more important than decoded image quality. That way we won't catch any useful information by accident.
Maybe we should use Vurbano's logic then to say BD is the winner since it has a faster transfer rate then HD-DVD does?
or better yet, lets add to it by bitching about the posts......
The subject of the thread is What we are hearing...
We've all heard these arguments before. People expect news in this thread. Let's stay on topic. I won't dillute the thread any further.
Well back on topic,I don't think much more HD is coming this month. Access magazine says BioHD and thats about it.We have all the other ones they list .Maybe some locals are comming ,But not for me. End of 2008 for Scranton /Wilkes-Barre in case any one else wanted to know.But I guess I can live with NY HD Local for now ,Better then NO HD locals.
Actually the "What we are hearing" was referring to new HD channels, back in the day when they were first starting to come on board.

Agreed, there's probably not a lot left out there. Would be nice if Starz/Encore fired up the old Encore HD channel that they had for awhile but shut down due to lack of pick up. I know WGN-Superstation is supposed to have their HD signal available by 12/1, that would be a nice addition for the Chicago sports programming that they have in HD.
It would and along with Bio. For me, the channels I want...AMC, FMC, & TCM, aren't ready yet. My wife wants BBC.
Ok just got word that only ONE HD channel is coming tommorow, Biography Channel HD.
Sorry no MSG HD yet.
