What's with CH 9852-BOWL?

[eurosport]

NBC broadcasts their games in 1080i. Fox and ABC are 720p. Not sure what CBS is.

CBS is 1080i edit: (and Ice beat me by seconds!)

 

[Dirtydan]

Yes! The only thing in 1080p are blu rays and VOD. Makes me wonder why they don't make more 720p tvs.

Add HD DVD to 1080p list,I have 98 of those, kinda makes me a loser, eh?

I've never met anyone with one of those.

 

[TNGTony]

Thanks Ice and Eurosport. I just didn't remember off the top of my head.

Sherman, I agree. I can see it if I am looking for (and I stopped because they are so close) it during football (jitter vs blur), but otherwise it's very hard to tell.

Oh so you are the guy who bought those. I heard someone helped the format stay afloat for awhile.

720P looks a little "smoother" than 1080I on a large screen to me. On very (and I mean) very close inspection I can see the slightest of difference in detail of faces, when close to the screen. At viewing distance, none. Same as OTA VS Sat. 1080P however has a "deeper" look to it, deeper colors, almost a little "3d" for lack of a better term. I can see that from a viewing distance. But, not with every blu ray. The source has alot to do with it.

I don't know but I assume that whatever it will be used for will be SUPER.

I hope they do show the Super Bowl on these channel... The local NBC channel in PR is SD only an the signal is SUPER bad...

About 60 of those were bargain basement priced, like 4 to 10 bucks. After HD DVD folded I got Toshiba's best player for a lot less then I paid for their lesser model, so, you see I have a back up player.

I picked up 2 HD-DVD players on the cheap and quite a lot of movies too.

Maybe Dish is broadcasting the Super Bowl in 3D on these channels , you know HD 3D and SD 3D, a new concept.

 

[splino]

I only see 9851 no 9852 on our receivers. 9851 does not say HD...

That's because it isn't...... Only 9852 is HD. You need to see 72.7 or 129 to get 9852.

Thank You Bobby. I can't see either of those satellites from my location...

 

[dan188]

yay we can seen the game in hd even if we don't have hd locals. way to go dish

I believe that is the intent. I guess we will know for sure soon....

 

[jerryez]

If the superbowl is going to be on these channels, why wouldn't Dish advertise it. How are people that don't use this forum susposed to find out this information.

I am really sad that dish didn't put this temporary Super Bowl channel on 119/110 with HD for subs....atleast then on WA everybody could have that channel in HD.

 

[teh_duke]

From the guide it looks like they opened up the LA nbc affiliate to all subs. No idea why though.

 

[MikeD-C05]

Maybe it is to give everyone the Superbowl in HD even if their locals are not in hd. That sounds like the most logical reason to me.
