Re: Get on the stick... said by fAcEtIOUs:Yes, I do realize that it is the content providers that are putting out little amounts of true HD. But that was my point. All the boasting back and forth by the TV providers about how much HD they have really isn't that big a deal, given the dearth of real HD programming. Except for the primetime network schedules(ABC,NBC,CBS,Fox,&PBS) and the sports channels like ESPNHD & some premium movie channels, who really cares. I know some get ecstatic about a HD Food channel, but really for most people who cares. Yeah, but it is nice to have all the HD channels available so when the HD content is put on those channels you already have it and don't need to be anxious to get it. I don't mind if an HD channel shows 4:3 stuff if that is how the film/show was shot (i.e. TBS should show Family Guy in 4:3 on the HD channel). I am more annoyed with the networks cropping movies (2.35:1 movie been shown in 1.78:1 to fill the screen). HD is nice, but I want to see it in HD as the director attended. At least having the HD channels means I'll get the HD version when it is aired.
