If you follow our daily HDTV Listings (or just watch television, whatever works), you know that most network programs are coming to their seasonal end. This leaves us to the summer doldrums of reality shows, repeats and made for TV movies. That said, what are you planning to watch this summer? Unfortunately, your choices may be very limited.
This guy was courteous enough to make a list of programs, unfortunately many of them are on USA, so no HD there. Otherwise, there's a couple shows on TNT, The Closer and Saved; plus the last season of Deadwood on HBO. Entourage is not in high definition, so even though I'll be watching, that's out.
How will you get through? Maybe you went in squirrel mode and saved episodes of Lost and 24 on the DVR, or you'll buy an HD DVD or Blu-ray player? Play lots of Xbox 360? Go to the movies or worse...actually go outside for once? God forbid you might actually watch some World Cup action until real (American) football starts.
Good point. I may actually leave the house.
Won't a lot of the USA Network stuff land on Universal HD? I don't care what channel it's on, as long as I can watch it in HD.
This gives me a solid 3 months to build a mythtv box. I was so excited last night after 24 ended because it means I get to take the tuner out of my desktop and finally get to work on it in my soon to be mythtv box.
all in preparation for more HD next season!!
I'm trying to figure out how to record the World Cup games on my DVR then pull them on to my notebook so I can use DivX to burn them to DVDs in HD format. Anyone have a good link on this subject? Thanks.
Entourage is not in HD? Add that to the list of HD shows I want then...
Entourage has not been in HD so far, maybe they will surprise me and change like Scrubs. It would be a great show to have in high def with the places (and the girls) they have on there all the time.
