What is the deal? I have HD, but the screen isn't stretched on TWC HD....has it officially started or is it just on the WOT8's?

True HD has not started yet, except on their recorded programming. But live studio programming is only being upconverted. I think thats the term. :lol:

Yes, upconverted is the term. True HD for live programming won't start 'til mid-'08 IIRC.

Ok....thanks...I thought that it wasn't 'true HD'...some shows have been recorded in HD, right?

All of the non studio programming is HD.
-
WOW..that's awesome...glad they've 'upgraded' everything. Thanks for that information.

All of the non studio programming is HD.
Only Epic Conditions and Weather Ventures are. The rest of the pre-recorded programming (Storm Stories, Forecast Earth, etc.) are not in 'true HD'.

Obviously. If they weren't true HD before, they can't be true HD now. :lol:

Okay, so they fully won't be in HD until June 2008 (or mid June). As in, that is when all of their live field reporting will be HD ready?
Because I could have sworn I read somewhere that the live programming will be in HD starting sometime January (or early) 2008
:unsure: can anyone confirm?
-
i can guarentee it's going to be mid-2008...if anything the studios won't even be ready by january, even so, they'll need to move in the new cameras, backdrops [if any], desk, chairs, computers, etc into the new studio itself.
-
isn't the local forecast in HD?
-
No.
-
If you have DISH OR DIRECTV and have Weather Channel HD station, you see the LOT8's in HD.
-
No you don't. The LF is not in HD yet. :unsure:
-
there is a satellite version of the HD Star that is out already :yes: that is what the viewers on DirectTV see during the local on the 8s.

It's only on DirecTV. ;)
-
well whatever it is...frankly i don't care. just as long as people get the point.
-
It 'automatically' reformats to WIDESCREEN when it comes on whereas the rest of the 'on-air' programming is not formatted to widescreen on the HD channel...that is what makes me think that it is in high def.
Have you checked out the HD channel yet?
-

Yes, it IS in HD. :yes:
-
Yes, it IS in HD.
I thought I wasn't 'dreaming'....but, just wanted to confirm...thanks for the confirmation...any ideas on when it'll go FULL HD all the time? I switched to DISH for TWC HD and for Fox Business Channel.
It was amazing that once I dropped Dish Network how much they've contacted me about wanting to 'give me' stuff.

As has been said in this thread already, full HD is not coming until mid 08.

It was also said in this thread a time or two that the LOT8's wasn't in HD and it was (on Directv HD).........so, I'm careful to 'verify' and ask questions!
It is your understanding (from TWC itself or some other source?) the launch won't be coming until the middle of this upcoming year?......

Maybe you should find out for yourself. :whistling:

I figured since you are the administrator of a website dedicated to TWC that you'd have some inside information the rest of us aren't privy to....

Judging by your earlier response you aren't confident in the information I'm giving you-which, by the way, I stand by regardless of who says what.

Since I now have Direct-HD and a wonderful Sony Bravia 40" W-3000 series TV, I'm ready for them to go to FULL HD A.S.A.P.!!!!! Thanks for the info...I do appreciate it! :)
