Post by: Jae on July 24, 2008, 11:46:03 AM: This is just a little poll I wanted to start to see how many of us are able to watch TWC|HD. These should be some interesting statistics. B)

Post by: Localonthe8s on July 24, 2008, 05:11:24 PM: The current HD offerings in TWC is pretty much the same. The national programming is the SD feed it's just pillarboxed with the |HD| logo that's all.

Which is about 69.6% of the weekday programming, soon to be 100% within a few weeks; I'd say that's worth it.

Post by: NYCTWCjunkie on July 29, 2008, 12:47:00 PM: Just received TWC HD this morning... let's say I'm impressed so far with the picture quality and how the HD studio segments look in HD now. I posted my thoughts in the genereal TWC HD discussion thread atop page 47.

YAY! I am now a JR. Member. I have been here for like less than a week too.

Post by: wxntrafficfan on September 22, 2008, 10:53:36 AM: Yes, I do. The one thing I like about the new HD is the blue bar at the bottom!
Title: Re: Do you currently view TWC in High Definition?
Post by: WeatherSTARIII on October 22, 2008, 05:13:38 PM: I don't watch it because we are stuck with Comcast and they don't have the channel avaiable in my area. :angry:

Do You think your XL on the SD Feed will be upgraded to an Intellistar?

I'm kinda balanced on that. One, I'll miss the WeatherStar since it's a classic and I pretty much grew up watching TWC in the XL era, but, I'll won't complain about it when they do switch since I do not mind the IS, despite the narration.

I also wonder if I'll get the HD star or just the HD satellite feed. :thinking:

Post by: Mike M on November 20, 2008, 08:28:16 PM: You won't get it immediately, I'll tell you that. Last I heard, the HD Star is still under its beta testing in the NYC metro area.

Really? It's been three months now since release, I wasn't expecting it to be in Beta testing for this long. :huh:

So I guess I'll get the HD star feed instead then.

That's not fair! Insight used to be in my area too! I hate Comcast! :furious:
Title: Re: Do you currently view TWC in High Definition?
Post by: WeatherSTARIII on November 30, 2008, 12:17:30 AM: I finaly got DirecTV and TWC HD! :dance: But I'm unable to see the satellite IntelliSTAR. At least I've finally ditched Comcast and their annoying IntelliSTAR! Plus even the resception wasn't inproving and Comcast in my area still doesn't have TWC HD.

But still, from the 3000, to the 4000, to the XL, and to the IntelliSTAR, its been nice knowin' ya. Farewell IntelliSTAR #22878!

Post by: Zach on November 30, 2008, 12:32:24 AM: I might be headed in the opposite way of you. If Bright house offers Basic TV Channels at no extra charge with their internet, I might be able to get some IntelliStar clips. :)

But it's a thought, not confirmed. ;)

Post by: Alejandro on January 05, 2009, 02:28:04 PM: No wonder not everyone cannot view TWC lHDl its limited availability (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1058081) almost everywhere
Title: Re: Do you currently view TWC in High Definition?
Post by: Lightning86 on February 03, 2009, 07:36:23 PM: I can have TWCHD, but I need an HDTV and an HD cable box(which is free), but I'm not getting an HDTV anytime soon.
Title: Re: Do you currently view TWC in High Definition?
Post by: Alejandro on February 15, 2009, 07:30:14 AM: If anyone is interested i started a petition (http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/bring-the-weather-channel-hd-to-comcast-customers-across-america) for TWC lHDl for Comcast Customers
Title: Re: Do you currently view TWC in High Definition?
Post by: wxntrafficfan on March 03, 2009, 02:39:00 PM: I know that it is available with Comcast, but we are already paying them enough money! :nono: :club:
I hope to be getting AT&T U-Verse soon, which comes with TWC in HD. :)
Title: Re: Do you currently view TWC in High Definition?
Post by: Squizz on March 14, 2009, 11:25:47 PM: I do now through DirecTV. My television is the only Standard Definition TV in the house, and that's what I watch the most. Let's say... 15% of the time I am watching TWC it's TWC|HD|.

Post by: kpetree10 on March 30, 2009, 11:05:39 AM: I love watching TWC |HD|, everything except for older recorded shows are in HD now and it looks gorgeous on my TV, it almost looks surreal sometimes.
