Additionally, 4:3 "safe zones" are being used so i see no point in this being in HD other than better picture quality.

You can say that about 85% of the content on television.

I'd like to know how this channel is now formatted on an SD box.
It's it letter box or 4:3 ?
There is no “dual" SD/HD QAM channel for this channel, so I'm going to assume it's letter box on an SD box.
Additionally, 4:3 "safe zones“ are being used so i see no point in this being in HD other than better picture quality.

It's 4:3, with just lower quality and the sides cut off compared with the HD. No bars.

Not sure why anyone even cares about traffic cameras and weather maps in HD so I dont think you are missing much if you arent getting it. Where are the rest of the Showtime and Starz movie channels in HD ? Content that actually looks GOOD in hd ?

You bring this up in every HD thread that pops up. No amount of complaining is going to get those channels any quicker.

It must be great working for a company that doesn't care if deadlines or target dates are met. My company would make some personnel changes over less. (Painfully slow digital upgrade, the guide fiasco, channels not delivered on time and probably many more we don't even know about)

If you don't recall there were a bunch of top execs who resigned recently and then all of the sudden you start seeing all of these new deals, channels, NFL Redzone, etc.... they always touted how people liked the guide, etc. and then all the sudden they started changing stuff...

Another hd channel my system wont get until it is completely cut over to 100 percent digital.

Lets make our customers wait months after they are notified about analog removal before we actually upgrade them to 100 percent digital, which is the most idiotic thing they have ever done. I think two weeks would have been suffice.

Correction, the second most idiotic thing, the first was rolling out a new program guide without testing it first.

Still sd, so maybe my prediction was correct!

Wait until it is rolled out anywhere before you start to think that!
