Where Is HD? integrates VOD into listings

by Darren Murph posted May 13th 2008 at 4:52AM

Not too much to say beyond the title, but everyone's favorite high-def lister has now begun to integrate video-on-demand offerings into the lineups. It should be noted that VOD listings aren't totally implemented just yet, so if you see a few holes in your own carrier's list, rest assured that plugs are on the way.

HD VOD is doomed because of one reason -> there are not enough people on fast and stable enough connection. You do not know how many people in US are still on dial-up and you will expect them to watch 15mbit+ speed streams ? No way.

On top of that this is not real HD as they will compress it lossy...

At least the have placed a superscript on TNTHD and TBSHD stating that the so called 100%HD of both these channels is being disputed by users.

TNT and TBS stretch-o-vision is NOT HD. A few of their shows do cross the HD line but saying 100% is ridiculous. Let's not mention that TNTHD and it's live feeds are all over the place as far as picture quality is concerned (NBA games). BW is a huge problem during their live feeds. Get it together TNT!!!

I've been a big hater of TNT HD and TBS HD in the past, but an increasing amount of content is in HD now. This started happening for me in the last month. Things that should be in HD (movies, shows that originally aired in HD) are in HD now. Shows that don't have an HD source are still stretched, but it is a huge improvement.

Highly Ranked

Until WiHD? marks TNT & TBS as "rarely HD" they won't be anything but clueless, let alone a "favorite."

They ought to turn on their TVs and check, rather than listening to viewer's disputes. If they can't tell it ain't HD by watching it, the ought to change their site to track porkbellies or something.
