My only issue is the lag that occurs on some of the more heavy traffic channels such as Fox or TNT. Switch over to the SD channel and there is no lag present.]]>May 17th 2008 1:51PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/May 17th 2008 1:53PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/May 17th 2008 1:53PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/May 17th 2008 2:24PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/My carrier offers only 13 national channels plus all the network HD locals, but outside of watching the very bad analogue Sci-Fi Channel which is NOT available in HD on the TWC system, I ignore the rest.
Everytime a new HD channel is added, like once a year, I give the HD channel a chance, but always ignored its analogue version deliberately.

Otherwise... watching SD makes me sick. I even watched the chronicles of narnia on DVD the other day instead of blu-ray. It was awful. Anyone who says upconverted SD is almost as good as blu-ray is BLIND as a bat. I'm completely addicted to HD. These "false HD" stations like TBS need to get smacked in the face. What a crock!]]>May 17th 2008 3:19PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/May 17th 2008 4:10PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/May 17th 2008 4:27PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/May 17th 2008 4:36PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/May 17th 2008 5:02PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/May 17th 2008 5:46PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/May 17th 2008 6:11PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/May 17th 2008 6:21PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/May 17th 2008 6:37PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/

Most of the content I want to watch is only available in SD. HD is great and all, but I'm not going to watch something just because it's in HD.

A couple years ago, there were only a few HD channels being offered and most of them seemed stuck on the idea of showing off the capabilities of HD.

That was cute for the first couple weeks, then I got over it and tuned back into my SD channels which had worthwhile content.

I didn't want to watch "Birds over sunset", I wanted MythBusters, I just wanted it in HD.]]>May 19th 2008 1:47PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/May 19th 2008 2:45PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/May 19th 2008 2:47PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/May 20th 2008 1:48AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/May 20th 2008 9:09AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/]]>May 21st 2008 4:13PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/05/17/poll-do-you-still-watch-sd-programming/
I only have an HD OTA tuner and I never watch that much OTA content, just the occasional show here and there, local sports and PBS stuff but that's it.

We have a Direct TV HR21 DVR but its on the 52' Sony rear projection. Everybody else but me has SD only.

We will soon upgrade the newest Toshiba 26" LCD to a Direct TV HR21 as well, but I am waiting for D* TV's HDPC dual tuner which I hope is available by the end of the year.

Speed does shows races in HD, ALMS from Utah was in HD...
