It all has to do with agreements between the networks, cable and satellite providers. They are all fighting with each other over fees and whether a given network is in what package the providers are offering.

I have Dish Network and don't get HD broadcasts from the regular networks even though the capacity is there. Doesn't bother me too much because with the digital signal and plasma tv I have the image quality is so good there is not that big a difference between HD and standard images.

Dude...

There is a HUGE difference on my DISH system on the plasma, but I am getting the four major networks in HD. What I would like to see is some of the other channels in HD on DISH like SciFi, FX, and the WB, err the CW.

They must be sending you some crappy HD signals. While I agree that digital SD is far superior to analog SD, it still is no comparison to a good HD feed (at least not on my Panny plasma).

I have flipped back and forth between the hidef / regular signal on channels like TNT that have both and haven't seen a lot of difference in image quality. The image on the plasma I have is so good that everything looks great.

As to sci fi and some of the other channels, and what I have seen... one of the big factors in how well that hd image looks is if the show was shot in HD with HDcams. It drives me nuts that hdmv shows old movies all the time that get zero benefit from being broadcast in that format.

Yeah, but a lot of the shows I watch on those channels are shot in HD. They are shown later on on that UNIHD channel.

It might just be my local signals, but the network HD channels I get look better than TNTHD. Or maybe it is a matter of compression.

With a digital signal the source shouldn't matter, the quality of the image being delivered should be the determining factor. Though compression could be an issue.

Its entirely possible that the bigger networks have purchased more expensive hd cams with correspondingly better image than TNT which might not have as much to invest as the big 4 do.

I think a lot of what TNTHD sends out are just SD shows sent out over a HD feed. It's no where near as good as other HD channels.

I'm with ya! I don't get the no ABC. Seems stupid. But, I've been begging them to bring back the NFL Network for 2 years now to no avail.

Yep. Basically I'm Charter's beeyotch, and the sad part is I'd pay extra for NFL network if they'd just offer it again.

Me too. I told them that 5 times. But they keep saying that the NFL wants it on the basic tier so everyone gets it. But, instead no one is getting it. :rolleyes: :banghead:

If that's the case, then the Jets must really suck. When the hell was the last time they even won a playoff game, let alone just get to a Super Bowl?
