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.
My super-awesome website!

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
