I don't always need my talking heads in crystal clear HD; it's more about the real estate and putting it to good use.

What's really interesting is that it looks like CNBC is producing two completely separate feeds, whereas most networks just upsize or downsize one program to fit the screen size. You can't just cut off the right and left flanks of that widescreen layout and get a useable 4 x 3 layout; maybe they can cut off a double size right column? Even if that's the case, it's a new concept, and shows some thinking outside the box.]]>Oct 10th 2007 9:50AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/10/directv-launches-yet-another-5-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/10/directv-launches-yet-another-5-hd-channels/

But we understand you have to convince yourself that all that money you spent on TiVo Series 3 was worth it and that you really do not need HD content to be happy. Good luck with that.

Wow, I even get The Dog Whisperer in HD now.

Only one of the HDDs can be used at one time, but you can switch between them with the menu.
I install theater systems in Phoenix, where we have Cox as well. Directv has better picture quality, more channels, and a better HD experience in my opinion.]]>Oct 12th 2007 9:25PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/10/directv-launches-yet-another-5-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/10/directv-launches-yet-another-5-hd-channels/Just wondering if I'm the lone ranger here.]]>Oct 14th 2007 11:41PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/10/directv-launches-yet-another-5-hd-channels/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/10/10/directv-launches-yet-another-5-hd-channels/Oct 21st 2007 1:05AM
