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

You have to order the HD channels separately. Also, you have to have an HD receiver.

LOL, its hillarious how ignorant people can be by saying "HD isn't that different then regular" when they've never seen it a day in their life. Americans for ya...

Yeah that would help.

HDTV's have been dropping in price lately.

I have an HDTV. It makes the SD programming look very detailed

I thought HD TV's didn't do anything to standard definition programming.

It depends whether or not the network upconverts their programming. For example, TWC upconverts all of their studio programming; even though it's not true HD, the picture clarity is still amazing.

You also have to think about the acual pixel, 4:3 and 16:9 refer to the actual pixel size as well. There is a pixel difference between a LCD and HDTV LCD screen.

Okay, I see where you're coming from, but I don't get what point you're making.

[Localonthe8s]

[Alejandro]

[Localonthe8s]

You will need to purchase regular TWC in order to get TWC HD. Yeah, it i know it stinks

No, you get both; they're right next to each other on the lineup as long as you actually get TWC HD. You would, of course, need an HD receiver with the HD package.
