:up to the PQ on UniversalHD. I'm watching BSG "Rapture" now and the difference between SciFi SD amd UniversalHD is like kindergarten and PostGraduate at MIT. Yeah, it's that good...
All these washed-out scenes on the planet would be a mass of contour rings on the old MPEG2 version; MPEG4 is nice and smooth.

Yeah, it is. And it makes it harder to watch the stuff on Sci Fi. Last night I was watching Thursday's Stargate Atlantis from UHD, then switched to the new SciFi episode. PQ was lousy; sound wasn't DD5.1; just frustrating.
But I guess we are all spoiled
With very nice PQ and DD5.1, it's easy to get spoiled... And that much difficult to go back to watching SD.
In two years, it'll be interesting to see what's in HD and what isn't, that's for sure.

The problem is that all of the cable channels are exempt; its just the nets that have to go digital.
I hadn't heard/read that...wow...that's really stupid.
Think about it, they are not OTA; they are only carried via cable or Satellite, so there is nothing forcing the them to go HD. AND if they did, imagine the problem that both cable and satellite providers would have trying to carry all of the same channels in a HD format, in terms of bandwidth...
Oh, I agree, it makes sense from a cable or sat carrier due to bandwith issues, it's just dumb business sense because as mpeg4 gets better, they can carry more HD channels, and as BD and HD DVD (or both) get wider acceptance, more people are going to want more HD. SD channels will get watched less as more HD channels appear.
Damn! 4.03 just rebooted my box again while I was watching last night's BSG episode that I DVR'd off UHD. The combination of 4.03 and the 129 sat is just killing my enjoyment of HD programming entirely.

I had forgotten Edward James Olmos played Selena's father in that movie... (on Starz right now) ...
Correct me if I am wrong. But the law says that OTA must go digital. But that does not mean that they must go HD.
You are absolutely right. They have to be digital, they do not have to be 720p or 1080i. But thats only OTA.
Well done and funny stuff.
Might not be a season 5
Olmos says Battlestar done, Ugly smile insured, Scotty's ashes missing, APB for Tracy Morgan.
Olmos: "It's the final season [of Battlestar Galactica]"
Sci Fi Channel's Battlestar Galactica may have been a big winner at the 33rd Saturn Awards last night, but it wasn't all good news for fans. Speaking with the press, Battlestar actor Edward James Olmos said that the fourth season of the show would be its last.
Olmos told movie site IESB.net "[Season four] will probably be the most extraordinary season of Battlestar; it's the final season so it's definitely going to be the most vicious."
IESB later asked costar Katee Sackhoff about the final season, to which she replied, "Yeah, this may be our last year. If Eddie is saying it, I guess I can repeat it."
Season four of Battlestar Galactica is due to begin airing in 2008.

Who knows
Flight of Battlestar Continues
Battlestar Galactica's search for Earth continues to be an open-ended adventure, executive producer David Eick said.
Contrary to comments by Edward James Olmos (Adm. Adama) at the Saturn Awards on May 10, no end has been announced for the award-winning show. Battlestar Galactica is preparing to film its fourth season, one that will include 22 episodes, rather than the previously announced 13.
"For those of you who have been paying attention over the years, this is not the first time Eddie has made an announcement about the possibility of the show's end," chuckled Eick. "I promise you that when [executiuve producer] Ron [Moore] and I make a decision about Galactica's future, we'll let you know."

It could be the last season for Olmos. Easy enough to kill off Adama. Not a good idea IMHO, but if he thinks he is done, he might be.
I think the producers are trying to say, there is no plan to end the show, all depending on how the ratings are. If it does well, why end it? If it continues to slide, four years is probably enough.
Of course, the end of BSG leaves Sci Fi sitting with very little...

My guess is that there has always been a plan of what the maximum number of seasons would be. Especially one that has a continuing storyline. Whether or not it would reach that number is another matter.
I would take the comment to mean that there is no plan to end the show prematurely. And I hope the story is mapped out to the point where they know exactly how it will end and how it will get there. The worst thing they could do is keep a show going longer than it should (despite its quality) because of good ratings.
