I like it. It's less disturbing than the old "|HD|" pillars.

I guess they didn't release an enhanced version. Ive seen plenty of movies from before them released in widescreen. Guess not for this one

I have DirecTV and when I woke up the HD stuff was the same as it had been for the past few months but then I was watching at about 7 this evening and they had updated the forecasts.

BTW, I'm up @ 2:20 AM because I couldn't sleep, I have to get ready for school in three and a half hours too  :yawn: Also it's not even midnight yet in California

It's not always about the STAR. It's about coast and value.

*cost :P

Yeah I agree. Usually the cable companies with the legacy stars offer the cheapest package in the area but in these days saving money is essential, so making moves such as switching to satellite is wise.

I could have also stated that over at TWCC about a month ago he discovered on his cable lineup an XL.

I like them, but they should make the text L3rd-safe.
