when will the SD stretching on HD channels ever end?

Back on topic.

The Discovery quadruplets look like they crop, but do not stretch, 4:3 SD content. I've also seen the crop jump around, particularly during commercials. Has anybody else seen this? Is it dynamically adjusting itself? Because I've also seen commercials at 16:9 that sure didn't look HD.

I will take cropped and stretched HD over OAR SD any day.

Does anyone watch Gene Simmons on A&E? It appears to be shot in 16X9 HD, but probably 3/4 of the time it's like they forget to flip a switch and it's shown in pillar-boxed letterbox (say that 3 times fast!) format. A&E really needs to figure out how HD programming works.

Damn, your reply was a waste of keyboard strokes, you should be stroking something useful. Or does that need medical attention?

Ehren,

When you complain about everything, people won't listen to you. That's why you have to pick your battles. :up

Have you ever posted something positive about Dish Network? I didn't think so. So why do you expect people to agree with you?

Deadliest Catch looked pretty good to me!
