Shows like Jon and Kate Plus 8 (I know, sue me, it's a great show) have pillar bars (side black bars) but they are nowhere near as wide as a normal 4:3 show. I'm guessing that they are zooming the picture slightly for the HD channel and not wanting to go to stretch-o-vision. <br><br>Anyone else seen this?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[plozen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 2nd 2008 10:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Comcast rolling out Science, Disney and ABC Family HD channels]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/02/comcast-rolling-out-science-disney-and-abc-family-hd-channels/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/02/comcast-rolling-out-science-disney-and-abc-family-hd-channels/</guid><description><![CDATA[That's exactly what they're doing.

It looks like they've just added it very recently that they've got ABC Family and Disney mixed up on the onscreen channel guide. LOL.<br><br>And yes the HD channel squeezing has made the existing HD channel's quality take a nosedive.  Just take a look at Universal HD and Discovery HD Theater for graininess, artifacting and blockiness.  For the newly added channels, SciFi is not even in HD until at night.  AMC HD has taken the TNT or A&E route and just stretched their SD movies. CNN and TLC was passable, with Animal Planet and Food Network the best of the bunch.<br><br>I've also noticed the slight black bars on some of the Discovery and TLC shows.  It looks like its on just some shows but not all of them.<br><br>Comcast HD is certainly a mixed bag at the moment.  I'm gonna do the wait and see approach with them.  Definitely, if the quality gets worst, I'll switch to DirectTV, Dish Network or even ATT U-verse. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[inferno1016]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 3rd 2008 12:09AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Comcast rolling out Science, Disney and ABC Family HD channels]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/02/comcast-rolling-out-science-disney-and-abc-family-hd-channels/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2008/04/02/comcast-rolling-out-science-disney-and-abc-family-hd-channels/</guid><description><![CDATA[Will they just get us DOCSIS 3 if not fiber already?
