saturday night live in hd is cool but you can't beat football at 1080i sweet
Saturday night live is a good one
Cops is in HD on Fox and has been for a while and, no, I don't watch it.
I caught the last half of The Matrix Reloaded on TNT-HD, that was awesome, but seeing some of the premium HD channels (HBO and Starz HD) makes me want them!, Stupid cox in my area doesn't offer them in HD yet. (To my knowledge)
Will in my areaa, Tennesse. Our local cable and satellite providers don't actively promote HBO-HD, SHO-HD and so forth. But you need to subscribe the these premium channels AND the HD programming Tier. This will bring in those channels.
This HDTV Listings feature is handy. Must be drudgery to assemble, but please keep it up. Be nice if it covered more than just prime time, but I'll take what I can get. I'm always trying to record HD movies on my DVR, because the resolution is better than standard DVD. My cable provider, Grande Communications, at least reserves all the 300-series channels for HD content, but I'd love to have a single listing of all such content for the whole day without having to scroll tediously through the onscreen guide or page through three-hour blocks on the tv.yahoo listings.
I don't think Cops is in true HD, I think its upconverted. But it looks good.
So what happened to HDbeat.com? I guess they changed names??
Anyone else notice that this website takes forever to load?
