Last year I get screwed out of HD Super Bowl because Charter in STL doesn't carry Fox in HD.  Then just a few months ago Charter and the local CBS station couldn't come to an agreement over the price of carrying the station so Charter dropped CBS HD from the lineup.  So another year of SD Super Bowl.  Maybe I should have got the built-in tuner...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Eagle117]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 31st 2007 1:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to make sure you are watching the Super Bowl in HD]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/31/how-to-make-sure-you-are-watching-the-super-bowl-in-hd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/31/how-to-make-sure-you-are-watching-the-super-bowl-in-hd/</guid><description><![CDATA[Eable117:<br><br>My antenna picks up CBS wonderfully in Belleville.<br><br><br>perhaps you should consult EBAY or Newegg for an ATSC tuner, and just cut out Charter.

If anyone came into my house and said let me make sure you set everything up right, I would kick them out.  Don't do this, if they have an HD set, then they most likely have it set up right.  If not, watch it on your own HD tv, or get a job so you can afford one.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeff]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 31st 2007 6:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to make sure you are watching the Super Bowl in HD]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/31/how-to-make-sure-you-are-watching-the-super-bowl-in-hd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/31/how-to-make-sure-you-are-watching-the-super-bowl-in-hd/</guid><description><![CDATA[uh, jeff and palooz, its a bit of a joke, see?<br>anyway, when i rushed over to my parents house recently for a family gathering inconveniently scheduled during the eagle play off game, i was dismayed to find a roomful of adults watching my parents HDTV on the SD channel in stretch mode. I probably wouldnt want to risk a punch on the nose by trying to hijack someones set up per the above directions....but i certainly wouldnt want to sit in someones house watching in SD like a yahoo.  I'd probably just pretend to be allergic to the cat or something and leave...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[nipsey russell]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 31st 2007 8:23PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to make sure you are watching the Super Bowl in HD]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/31/how-to-make-sure-you-are-watching-the-super-bowl-in-hd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/31/how-to-make-sure-you-are-watching-the-super-bowl-in-hd/</guid><description><![CDATA[Don't forget to make sure you're on the right channel. All will fail if your STB is set to the standard CBS affiliate broadcast instead of their digital broadcast. This might be the most common mistake I see people make.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[VJ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 31st 2007 1:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to make sure you are watching the Super Bowl in HD]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/31/how-to-make-sure-you-are-watching-the-super-bowl-in-hd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/31/how-to-make-sure-you-are-watching-the-super-bowl-in-hd/</guid><description><![CDATA[Does this really even apply to those of us that get our HD via OTA with an ATSC built in to the TV?  I know ATSC integrated tuners is more of a recent feature for HDTVs but I'm just kind of surprised that the owner of said TV wouldn't check the connections before having guests over, I know I would!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bradley]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 31st 2007 2:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to make sure you are watching the Super Bowl in HD]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/31/how-to-make-sure-you-are-watching-the-super-bowl-in-hd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/31/how-to-make-sure-you-are-watching-the-super-bowl-in-hd/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yeah, VJ, you're right. I see people tuning into the old digital cable channels when they should be tuning into HD channels. With Comcast, you just prefix the old channel with 8 to get HD. So CBS SD is 4, HD is 804. SD Fox is 25, HD fox is 825.<br><br>With the Motorola STB, at least from Comcast, all you do to change the picture output is turn the box off, press the Menu button on the front of the box (you can't use the remote), and a configuration menu will appear on your TV where you can set the output parameters.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mroach]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 31st 2007 2:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to make sure you are watching the Super Bowl in HD]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/31/how-to-make-sure-you-are-watching-the-super-bowl-in-hd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/31/how-to-make-sure-you-are-watching-the-super-bowl-in-hd/</guid><description><![CDATA[The SD to HD channel conversion for Comcast probably varies from area to area the way all the channels do. In my area, there is no simple algorithm - CBS and Fox are 29 and 25 for SD, respectively, and 214 and 213 for HD.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[VJ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 31st 2007 4:01PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to make sure you are watching the Super Bowl in HD]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/31/how-to-make-sure-you-are-watching-the-super-bowl-in-hd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/31/how-to-make-sure-you-are-watching-the-super-bowl-in-hd/</guid><description><![CDATA[Now, OTA people are covered provided they are on the right channel. But if you know about OTA HD then odds are you don't need help.<br><br>It is necessary, this actually happened to be at a New Years party last month.

I look at it. If these stupid football fans can't tell the difference between 480i and 1080i, then they sure as hell won't care whether or not they are actually watching the Super Bowl in HD.<br><br>Wow, I truely am baffled that someone would have to "make sure" they are watching something in HD ... you'd think that since "HD" is such a big hyped up mess, people would know the difference.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[paloooz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 23rd 2007 1:00PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to make sure you are watching the Super Bowl in HD]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/31/how-to-make-sure-you-are-watching-the-super-bowl-in-hd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/31/how-to-make-sure-you-are-watching-the-super-bowl-in-hd/</guid><description><![CDATA[Out of luck for me this year also.

I've been hearing anecdotes that suggest that 720p is better than the 1080i... Is this so?

Cox is saying they will drop CBS(WWL) and thier 24/7 around the clock local news from thier lineup by jan. 31st,2007.<br>And that cox will find a new partner to have for thier 24/7 around the clock local news.<br>Man, i agree with cox on this one, because CBS is broadcasting free over the air, but to just straight up get rid of CBS entirely.  <br><br>wow, cox neworleans has balls.  and alot of people are going to get the wrong idea about what cox is trying to do.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[matt]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 1st 2007 4:36AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to make sure you are watching the Super Bowl in HD]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/31/how-to-make-sure-you-are-watching-the-super-bowl-in-hd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/31/how-to-make-sure-you-are-watching-the-super-bowl-in-hd/</guid><description><![CDATA[meh.
