My message chopped off.. There was a lot of noise during the law and order HD feed on NBC last night. I hope they fix that soon. There also seems to be an aspect ratio problem during the off network local feeds (new York station)
Yes, I noticed that the news at 11pm were in 4:3.
Also, I have reported on the uplink that ABC is not broadcasting Close Captioning in the HD feed. The SD feed does have CC.
For some reason the HD feeds of networks switch between sd and hd depending on the programing. That happens even on OTA signals.
So, I think this is not a problem on Dish side. When watching ABC OTA the shows preciding a non prime time show switch to sd.
Maybe the local stations turn on and off the hd feed.

Its very possible the local station has no way of showing HD unless its directly from the network
I have a neighboring CBS station (Mankato, MN) that is like that. If it isnt network programming its not in HD.
I think the ABC (WPRU) is like that too....dont they show the news in 4x3 too?

Iceberg, right now 6:11 PM, news (Eyewitness News) on ABC are 4x3. From WABC channel 7 NY. I will report back with info for ABC World News at 6:30PM
As I thought, World News is being broadcasted 16x9. So local NY news are 4x3 but national news are 16x9.
weird...I guess they can't do HD at the local level. Any network (ABC) programming is passed through as 16x9
Then again, any small movement or action on screen is horribly pixelated. I mean, come on, on a closeup of a hand picking up a telephone, the image got pixelated and blurry!! I hope sports are correctly uplinked and not that bad. We will see....
Wapa2 hd uplink IMO is the best of the lot so far. The games...finally looking as it suppose to...the colors are excellent...& haven't noticed any pixelation. Hoping wapa2 can get more sports at this level.
I am watching PIT @ CIN on NBC HD. It looks terrible! The signal is no HD at all. Very poor quality.
Aspect ratio is way off on hd......and no adjustments on either my 722 receiver and/or my tv will adjust. A real mess up
