Wow, ice hockey in !080i, eh? Is that a Spanish version of Versus in HD, no? :)

Formula 1's main international feed is produced by FIA and it's not filmed in HD, not this season anyway.

I'm glad to see Prison Break is back ... if only for a little bit longer.

F1 is in 720p Up Convert from 720x576 anamorphic. looks much better than the SD stream. Speed's overlays are 720p. PAL always had so much more resolution that the up convert actually helps for us in the states. looks just a tad worst than fox nascar.
