Keep in mind that they're partially funded by the U.S. taxpayer via numerous federal grants.  I've worked with people who worked at my local PBS station (yeah, I know, the friend of a friend stuff...), but the consensus was that PBS can get any piece of TV and radio hardware that you could possibly think of.  The quarterly (or semi-annually) begging for money apparently is not very necessary, at least at the local affiliate.<br><br>Now, the issue of satellite bandwidth ... are there not other satellites on which they could lease bandwidth?  No sarcasm.  Serious question.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John B]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 11th 2008 3:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PBS baby-steps towards HD]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/11/pbs-baby-steps-towards-hd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/11/pbs-baby-steps-towards-hd/</guid><description><![CDATA[um, PBS runs a 24 hour constant HD broadcast, there is no stretch-o-vision or upscaled SD at all.

No strech-o-vision; only HD content.  There's repetition, but I'd prefer that over the alternative.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[PeteCE]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 11th 2008 3:24PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PBS baby-steps towards HD]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/11/pbs-baby-steps-towards-hd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/11/pbs-baby-steps-towards-hd/</guid><description><![CDATA[What you'll have available to you is dependent on your local PBS affiliate.  I'd expect those of us in major markets will get treated to HD, but areas served by less "well-heeled" PBS stations will be left behind.  I agree completely that PBS has some fabulous programming.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Steven Kim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 11th 2008 3:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PBS baby-steps towards HD]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/11/pbs-baby-steps-towards-hd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/11/pbs-baby-steps-towards-hd/</guid><description><![CDATA[Nice pixelated logo.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Galley]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 11th 2008 3:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PBS baby-steps towards HD]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/11/pbs-baby-steps-towards-hd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/11/pbs-baby-steps-towards-hd/</guid><description><![CDATA[yeah, I was just thinking that.

They also have 5 SD channels.  They offer more content than any other broadcast station in our area (Minneapolis, MN).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chad]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 12th 2008 8:33AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PBS baby-steps towards HD]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/11/pbs-baby-steps-towards-hd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/11/pbs-baby-steps-towards-hd/</guid><description><![CDATA[Glad I get PBSHD in Richmond, VA.  Not the best HD channel I get, but some of the shows like e2 are flat out awesome.  I hope more shows over time get the same treatment, but the few ones that do come in HD are worth it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[David S]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 11th 2008 6:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on PBS baby-steps towards HD]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/11/pbs-baby-steps-towards-hd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/11/pbs-baby-steps-towards-hd/</guid><description><![CDATA[I am confused by this post.  Does this mean that HD Downloads will only be once and local PBS stations will need equipment to record them in HD in order to broadcast them in full HD later, e.g. no local HD recorder means station records in SD and broadcasts later in stretchovision (whatever that is)?  Please clarify.

However, based on the quality, it does appear to be upscaled 480p widescreen video.<br><br>What happened to Wired Science?  Was that canned?  I thought that was pretty neat, but poorly promoted.
