some news stations never cease to amaze me...

back in February KSAT 12 claimed to be in HD, but became obvious to everyone that they were broadcasting in 16x9 SD, however they still claimed to be in HD.

KSAT gave no warning of their so called "HD" transition and thought it would be a great idea to just flip the switch on any random day. They're graphics didn't change much, and parts that were changed looked horrific. they didn't get a studio upgrade, something they've had for over 7 years...it's not even a studio! its a freakin' desk with an oversized chroma key wall behind it.

mind you, ever since they're little "transition" a lot of viewers have been complaining about KSAT's newscast being fuzzy on both SD and HD channels, ultimately leading viewers their huge competitor KENS 5 whom went HD many moons before KSAT. KSAT used to be San Antonio's number 1 newscast, claming the 5, 6, and 10 o'clock newscast. rumor has it, that they're ratings will not be as impressive as they use to be.

did mention i hate ksat?  :bleh: competitor to both KSAT and KENS -- WOAI has plans to launch HD sometime this year -- the station turns 60 on Dec 11, and that is my forecast date of their full and complete HD transition. i honestly think i might be impressive if they're gonna do what I think they're gonna do.  :D

if WOAI does go HD this would be San Antonio's 2nd (or 3rd if you count the station "claiming" to be in HD) newscast to broadcast live in HD. KABB (FOX 29), not a competitor, does not have any plans to broadcast in HD in the near future, which is good cause their newscasts suck. lol

blahhh! that was my rant for today. lol

$150?? We're paying about $61 after taxes and stuff for satellite and DVR, obviously no HD or special stuff.
Yes $150. I don't know why DirecTV is charging so much.  :hmm:

I asked my mom about this and I know why we're paying too much, my dad has Sports pack.  <_< <_< <_<

Correct. All FOX affiliates owned by FOX use same logos and very similar graphics.

We're getting cable cut off, and possibly changing to satellite. Maybe Dish or DirecTV. As long as they don't mess with my DTV Tuner, I am alright on whatever they do.

My fox afilliate recently changed their logo, but not to the O&O logo.  They use a simple logo.  Graphics are in-house, except for the "coming up next" graphics.  And their regular gfx are in-house, and they suck!

But you got all the bells and whistles. We only get: Cable in 4 rooms, no HBO, No Cinemax, No Digital Cable, No HD, 78 Channels, 1 Spanish channel, 3 ESPN channels, VH1 Classics, 2 C-SPAN channels, and 5, if not more, Religious channels. No one in our family watches News 14 Carolina. The only one who watches The Weather Channel throughout the day is me, Noggin, and Food Network. My mum loves the Food Network, I don't. If the Weather Channel was on the DTV lineup, I would not need cable. $275 for just rubbish.  :thumbdown:

Will Comcast lower their digital cable prices once they discontinue their expanded analog cable service?

the HD-DVR boxes alone are almost $20 a month each... Maybe you should drop your package down if you really don't need all of those premium channels.... the package for just one premium package should be ~$90 a month. the HD tier in my area is about $6 a box, which for me, if I had 4 HD-DVR boxes, would be an extra $24 a month... I'm telling you, all of this adds up...
