To be clear, I like the idea as well. I really do. DirecTV has been doing it for a while now. However, they do it properly. You can still get to the SD...
Actually, I have noticed on my SD TV - which has just stereo speakers built in - the audio mix on the HD channels (which the 4250 box will downconvert in...
I like the HD feeds because they have better sound particularly things like YES. I want the full 5.1 audio. I go to people's homes with HD sets, and they...

Meant "100000030 for HGTV-SD" ... ... Channel 100000030, for HDTV-SD if that's what it takes.... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Nah, you got me all wrong. You think this is progress. If I thought the same, I'd be all for it. Hell, I actually *AM* for it. All I'm fighting for is...
Well I did the reboot and the placeholders came back, plus a couple others that I hadn't noticed went missing before. I couldn't bring the guide up so it's...
On Thu, 12 Nov 2009 08:48 -0800, "John Hedger" <pallhedge@...> ... Because I don't want any more SD channels. I want everything upconverted if possible....
No one is saying that CV is at fault for how networks show their content on HD channels. I don't know why you're changing the issue. Right now, I can...
I just happened to witness this firsthand a few days ago. They were showing an older episode of Holmes on Holmes and it was stretched. This isn't CV's issue,...
I had my boxes reboot yesterday, for whatever reason, so I figured this would be a good time to bug anyone listening how my 2 External HDs still aren't...
They seem to be doing that -- has anyone noticed that the interactive guide is really interactive now? You can type in a title, type of program, etc... using...
Bravo Aaron, you actually make a perfect argument AGAINST what CV is doing here. Have you watched any stretched upconverts on TNT-HD or Food Network HD or...
I don't record "Modern Family," but I do record "The Middle" and "Cougar Town." If I can believe what the web-based interface to the DVR tells me, then I did...
I noticed this morning that my first run scheduled recordings for "Modern Family" and "Cougar Town" on ABC were no longer in my scheduled recordings. Theses...
Cablevision should redo the software completely so that it looks more modern. We are way overdue for an upgrade. From: cablevision_digital@yahoogroups.com ...
The stretched image is a bit distorted so I guess I have to watch all the 4:3 SD shows (and there are many of them) with those annoying bars until everything...
So the issue is that you don't want bars on the left and right if they're only broadcasting 4:3? To me, that is WAY preferable to a stretched image. I want the...
I want everything in HD too but the thing is the networks. Not all channels broadcast in widecreen and in HD 24/7 except for fox news and a few others. I don't...
On Wed, 11 Nov 2009 09:26 -0800, "Marc IN4mation EXchange" ... I don't think it's going to happen. Like it or not, this is "progress." The world is going HD,...
I live in the Bronx and noticed that when tuning a standard definition channel, I am now getting the high definition version instead. There is one exception I...
Anyone else notice that the local, family and premium SD channels, like CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, etc are now HD if you have a HD box. Channel 2 used to be the SD...
