I feel SO DIRTY.
Okay so I just spent the past little while getting my Rogers high-definition terminal all set up to produce the native 720p resolution that my new TV does natively, and it's awesome.
Only thing is, at this time of night only 2 of the HD channels are actually being broadcast in 16x9 high-definition. The others are just converted SD signals.
I sit down to watch one of the channels, and it happens to be PBS HD. Oh goodie! Like I said, it's late at night, and as such there's no program information available through the terminal's guide.
To make a long story short, I spent the past 14 minutes watching the man from the original Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory wine and dine a sheep, get a hotel room, order room service, and ultimately engage in the act of sexual intercourse with said sheep (no, it wasn't graphic you sick bastards, it was 'suggested'). In high definition.
How much per month am I paying for this? Thanks Rogers, thank you very much. If you'll excuse me, I'm off to play on the 401.
For the ADD crowd, here's a Cliff's Notes:
I watched a dude seduce a live sheep then screw it, on high definition tv.

I hope you took a shower. 
Surely you can enjoy Sportsnet's HD broadcast overnight....
thats so august 2005
Vertigo, some channels are 4:3 but still HD, they're not upsampled. Some shows are upsampled because they weren't done in HD.
Hockey on TSNHD is an orgy of details.
Sometimes there's too much details, when you see hair nose, on females, i believe its too much 
rogers hd pwns. discovery for the win!!!
Don't forget to not leave your 16:9 TV on a 4:3 signal for too long or you'll get "burn in" because of the black bars. ESPN HD at least has light stripes on the sides when they're not playing back true 16:9....
you can't have burn ins on DLP/LcoS/LCD rear projection tvs.

To be honest; Rogers HD is a ripoff. Maybe if the sound/picture didn't cut out so often it'd be more worth it
actually the only channel that deliver with HD is PBS, all the rest are not good enough imo or most their programming isn't HD.
HD at the moment is a ripoff.

I love HD. Yes there are only two channels broadcasting in HD 24/7. But many of the big network shows are all shot/broadcast in HD. Not to mention sports too, so nace.
For the extra $10 hell ya it's worth it.
its an extra 6$ here and I feel like I'm ripped off.
Not only i'm paying for the regular channel, I have to pay for the same content in HD.

| Originally posted by infinity HiGH whats even more BS is that you HAVE TO have basic cable to get HD. whats even weirder, is sometimes when i'm watching a program in HD (like Lost, NFL Sunday, or any other show in HD); I *sometimes* get a ringing sound coming from my TV, and I know it's not my ears cause if I turn it off then it stops. At first I thought my TV is at fault...but this only happens when I have an HD signal coming in from my box, whereas when I use anythign else it's fine. Anyone know what's causing this? Maybe interference from other cables? |

| Originally posted by malek you're half right. The company can compress the signal so much to save bandwidth that the quality of the image and sound are subpar... This is another form of ripoff |
