A Direct TV hype again, TWC has No HD, it's all being upconverted until sometime in 2008. It's just an SD channell be upconverted.
Same thing with CNN, except they have a few new HD cameras on their top rated shows shot out of one studio !!!
While WTC's live studio content is upconverted they will have some of their primetime shows in HD starting in October. Then he goes and says CNN is the same (aka all upconverted) but then says the have HD cameras on their top rated shows out of one studio, doesn't sound like all upconveted to me.
I don't understand people like sprintcarcrazy that appear to expect all HD channels to be HD 24x7x365 as soon as they start, that just isn't going to be happening for most channels. Go back to when networks first started to go color, it was only a few shows a week until they could build up their content, give HD time, it will get there eventually.
And if upconverted SD is so bad, why the big push to have upconverting DVD players and folks saying how much better it looks?
I would say NOT HD Lite!
I am going to do some side by side tests of Dish -vs- DirecTV HD later on.

How are you guys seeing these in HD?
I just went to the D* website and cut on StarzHD. Turned to the movie "Zoom". OMFG!!! D* has never had anything look this good. Can this be true or have I just been HDLite tortured for so long??? Why cant they split the SHOHD and HBOHD signals on the ground and run them through mpeg4 encoders too? The Mpeg4 stuff is definately brighter and crisper.
I change to the channel and open my eyes.
I guess I don't quite understand your question.
