BTW, all of the WWCH openers *are* pointlessly letterboxed on the HD feed, as well.

I downloaded that clip on my laptop and played it.

It promptly crashed Windows Media Player.   :lol:

VLC played it perfectly, though.  Absolutely beautiful.

Have you ever watched HD content on an HDTV? I watched a few NFL games in HD, and the difference in quality between the SD and HD was tremendous.

Yes, its different in sports because sports are very detailed but for regular quality like TWC or Nat Geo, HD isnt really that necessary.

Believe me, it's a huge difference watching news programs in HD. If you watch TWC HD and then switch back to the SD feed, things look pretty blurry.

I must give it a try then. In DirecTV, do i have to order a seperate HD package along with a normal package  or can i just order and have the HD Package? I really like to check TWC HD out
