    My HD PQ has improved

    Most noticeably on my HD RSN, but really across the board, my HD PQ has improved in the past few weeks. Also, going back over recent threads, there don't seem to be many PQ complaints. Just got my eyes checked, 20-15, so I know it's not between the ears. And I have noticed bad PQ on my...

    WorldSport HD: Will we get Barça v. Real Madrid this week?

    Even the WorldSport HD Web site's note from Paul Giblin this week says we still don't know if we're going to get this game this weekend due to the broadcasting controversy ongoing in Spain. Does anyone know if we will actually get to see El Clasico Sunday morning?

    What? No NBA-TV HD for playoffs?

    This stinks... For the first time in two years, it doesn't look like Dish Network will be showing NBA-TV HD games for the playoffs. I don't see anything in the guide for tomorrow or Wednesday's NBA-TV games. What gives? Now 9466 truly is useless.

    WorldSport La Liga schedule - When?

    Almost that time! I was at Barça-Chivas last night, and am pumped for the new season! Gudjohnsen scored a goal, Ronaldinho played the second half, and the atmosphere in the L.A. Coliseum -- over 90,000 -- was electric! I am also a Chivas fan (best fans in the MLS, by far, and probably the best...

    1080i locals look much better

    I've noticed significant improvement in our local 1080i NBC and CBS signals carried via Dish Network. Where previously they looked choppy and very soft, the frame-dropping issues appear to have been solved. They look as good as the 720p locals now, IMHO, which is to say very good, but just a tad...

    KungFu HD and FilmFest HD now on Voom

    9479 and 9480 are now KNGFU (KungFu HD) and FILMF (Film Fest HD) on Dish Network. They had been showing their new bugs this morning, but my guide just flipped to the new designators a few minutes ago. No new channels yet though. :( :(

    Auction HD on Gallery HD

    I'm watching an 'On the Block' on collectible bicycles on Gallery HD right now. I'm glad they're showing some Auction HD content on Gallery, although I suspect they're doing to stem concerns about repetitive content while saving money by using Auction HD-produced programming rather than buying...

    Rush HD's scaled back programming

    Voom used to show Endless Summer and other Bruce Brown movies after hours on weekends. No more. In fact, it seems like Rush has scaled back their programming quite a bit. Anybody else notice this? Seems like a ton of Gravity Games now. Rush also used to play a surfing clip to fill time...

    Erica Zacky wearing black today

    On HDNews. I can't imagine HDNews would stay on the air, broadcasting to no one, even if CVC "shops" the Voom21 around. Then again, it would be jarring for a news organization to shut and then start again, although I guess it would be easier, seeing as though HDN is kind of an offshoot of CVC's...

    Encore HD looks dead

    Encore HD is no longer mirroring Encore. Just repeating the same "making of" special over and over. i've seen it twice now at 10:00 p.m. PT. Voom, give us ESPN2-HD in its space, NOW, so we can see the opener Sunday Night in HD! :)

    Ch. 308: "This channel reserved for future use"

    Never seen this message before. Running on Channel 308, ESPN2A. 4:3, with classical music playing in the background? WTF?

    UEFA Round of 16: Steaua v. Villarreal (??)

    This seems like the only match it could be, according to the schedule. Will we be seeing it live?

    ESPN-U on Ch. 308

    I'm getting this right now. (I'd rather get Duke-Virginia on ESPN2HD :mad: :mad: :mad: , but I thought this was interesting.)

    UEFA Cup: Ajax v. Auxerre Feb. 24 (?) Yes, 2:43pm ET

    Looks like the latest message from Paul says that's the UEFA game we'll get tomorrow. Will it be shown live?

    Dawn of the Dead in 4:3 SD?

    I saw the end this morning on Monsters, looked fantastic, clearly in widescreen HD. But tonight, it's 4:3, and looks no better than (poor) DVD quality. Very disappointing! This is my first chance to see this movie in HD, I was looking forward to it as a huge Romero fan. Maybe someone...

    UEFA Cup Round of 32 on WorldSport?

    I believe the next round of the UEFA Cup is coming starting on 2/16, and I'm concerned there are no listings for it. Right now the SatelliteGuys schedule says "tentative", and I don't find any listings in the program guide, although it doesn't list through the 24th, which I believe is the final...

    What's on 308 now? ESPN2HD?

    When I've checked 308 before it was mirroring the Voom promo loop. Now it's ESPN2, as a 16:9 picture with black bars, not a 4:3 signal. Not HD on ESPN2 right now, and no "HD" bars, like ESPN uses on the flagship for SD. Any ideas?

    HDNews anchors' baggy clothing

    Is it just me, or do the anchors on HDNews wear deliberately oversized clothing? The thin white guy and the blonde woman both wear clothes that look tailored, but cut large. Since darned near everything in the TV news business is consulted to death, I'd assume this is not accidental. I'm not...

    Any new installs get elliptical dish?

    My confirmation e-mail said installation will include an "18-inch or elliptical satellite antenna on an exterior structure..." Is the elliptical language new, and might I actually be getting one? Of particular interest as a West Coaster too. I've spoken with my installer but forgot to ask...

    Early cancellation -- any pitfalls/hidden charges?

    I got Dish Network through a 3rd party site (vmc) and have only been a customer for a little over a month. I'm upset about having to pay $400 to upgrade to a HD STB that was offered to me free when I started service. (I didn't have an HDTV at the time; now I'm getting one, and kicking myself for...
