Granted, his opinion is based on work they did a couple years ago filming the Top Gear Polar Special. (The only Top Gear at the moment that you will find in HD.)  I'm hoping that they will look into it again now that digital HD has progressed to a point where you can shoot some great looking HD using a camera in a small package.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DustoMan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 1st 2009 1:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BBC America HD launch July 20 brings plenty of science fiction starting with Torchwood &amp; Dr. Who]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/01/bbc-america-hd-launch-july-20-brings-plenty-of-science-fiction-s/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/01/bbc-america-hd-launch-july-20-brings-plenty-of-science-fiction-s/</guid><description><![CDATA[Thats interesting since Hammond said they had started filming Top Gear in HD. I think it'll eventually go HD. The cameras and workflow are an issue but could easily be worked out. Top Gear is shot with a mixture of 576/50i and 576/25p shots and given a nice film look. BBCA has worked with Snell and Wilcox in regards to upconversion. I think a Top Gear presented in it's 16:9 AR upconverted to HD would look great. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[rendezvous65]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 1st 2009 8:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BBC America HD launch July 20 brings plenty of science fiction starting with Torchwood &amp; Dr. Who]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/01/bbc-america-hd-launch-july-20-brings-plenty-of-science-fiction-s/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/01/bbc-america-hd-launch-july-20-brings-plenty-of-science-fiction-s/</guid><description><![CDATA[How are they going to go about offering Dr Who in HD when they can't even do Dr Who in HD for the UK?<br><br>Something to do with production costs because of the special effects]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[wrs589]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 1st 2009 3:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BBC America HD launch July 20 brings plenty of science fiction starting with Torchwood &amp; Dr. Who]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/01/bbc-america-hd-launch-july-20-brings-plenty-of-science-fiction-s/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/01/bbc-america-hd-launch-july-20-brings-plenty-of-science-fiction-s/</guid><description><![CDATA["Planet of the Dead" was filmed and broadcast in HD in the UK.

We have to pay for either Sat or Cable. Then we have to put of with one commercial after another. Watch 5 minutes of program, then 5 minutes of commercials.  We get two thirds of an hour program and 1/3 commercials.   I would rather pay a little extra or even buy a license than have to set through what seems like endless commercials, sometimes as many as a dozen at once.  All we see is adds for car insurance, weight loss, Adds for Viagra then back to more car insurance adds.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ken]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 26th 2009 9:41PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BBC America HD launch July 20 brings plenty of science fiction starting with Torchwood &amp; Dr. Who]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/01/bbc-america-hd-launch-july-20-brings-plenty-of-science-fiction-s/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/01/bbc-america-hd-launch-july-20-brings-plenty-of-science-fiction-s/</guid><description><![CDATA[Just called Comcast (Rockville, MD).

However no one is offering the channel in HD. I've contacted Directv about the move to HD.  I can not find any new information if or when Directv plans to offer BBCAmerica HD.  Comcast is not offering BBCAmerica in HD.<br><br>What is the good of having HD, if no one is going to offer it.  Two years ago BBCAmerica said they will going HD by years end.  That never happened.  Now we have the channel in HD but can not see it.  A better turn out could have been arranged.  I for one can not understand the delay.  More information should be on BBC's web site, it's not.  All they say is contact your local provider.  How do you get your local provider to listen to the customers?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ken]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 26th 2009 9:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on BBC America HD launch July 20 brings plenty of science fiction starting with Torchwood &amp; Dr. Who]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/01/bbc-america-hd-launch-july-20-brings-plenty-of-science-fiction-s/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/06/01/bbc-america-hd-launch-july-20-brings-plenty-of-science-fiction-s/</guid><description><![CDATA[BBCAmerica.com has a form that if you fill it out they'll forward it to your provider. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[rendezvous65]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 31st 2009 5:10PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
