Has anyone watched 1080p yet?

[starcrossedpimp]

I was just wondering if anyone has watched channel 501 yet? If so hows the PQ? and is it truly "blu ray quality" i have been "turbo charged" but i dont have the latest software update on my 622 so i do not have channel 501 yet.

Apparently we can't yet. If I understand it correctly the software has not been downladed to receivers yet.

I know it is for VOD for now but lets hope they give you the option to set and keep 1080p setting.

seeing how they compress 1080i i doubt it will be blueray quality

And Im not Turbo charged yet either. Well i just got of the phone with CSR and she garaunteed im turbo charged, but my tv says the input is still 1080i and in the receiver settings there is no selection for 1080p output to tv. What gives. Watching Austin Stevens on ch 9421 and it does look quite amazing though.

The 1080p will be be activated for the vod offerings only. Check out this post:

Perhaps L6.10 will handle that.
