Five more years?  I've done some time overseas and, as unbelievably lame as AFN is, it's still TV shows from the good ol' US of A.  Still, considering the variable quality of signal available in many locations, I'm not sure I'd trust AFN with anything HD.  Standard def ends up pixelated with out-of-sync audio most of the time.  What will happen with HD?<br><br>Ah, well.  I'll be retired out of the USAF by then. :-)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Darth Cirrocu]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 6th 2008 10:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/06/american-forces-network-plots-upgrade-to-hd-in-2013/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/06/american-forces-network-plots-upgrade-to-hd-in-2013/</guid><description><![CDATA[I kinda fail to see the point.  I've never stayed in an overseas VOQ (or any, for that matter) that has an HDTV.  All of my friends who are stationed in Europe or Japan live off base, so they don't get AFN.  Of course, just leave it to engadget to write about the least newsworthy topics.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[James]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 7th 2008 12:50AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/06/american-forces-network-plots-upgrade-to-hd-in-2013/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/06/american-forces-network-plots-upgrade-to-hd-in-2013/</guid><description><![CDATA[Have you considered the possibility that they don't have HD on the bases, because the TV station isn't in HD yet, so it would only look worse? Regardless, five years should be enough time for them to get an HDTV or two.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Richard Lawler]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 7th 2008 2:45AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/06/american-forces-network-plots-upgrade-to-hd-in-2013/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/06/american-forces-network-plots-upgrade-to-hd-in-2013/</guid><description><![CDATA[The basic premise of this article is flawed.  The author assumes that AFN is the primary source of television signals and entertainment viewing for our troops.  That's simply not even CLOSE to true.<br><br>As for "a military application for 1080i", perhaps if the article author had done even a small amount of research he would have found numerous unclassified and fully disclosed on the web uses of hi resolution displays by our military.  I was installing 1280x1024 3 tube CRT projectors on Navy ships 15+ years ago, and even then there were 2kx2k monochrome Hughes light valve projectors on board, so don't think for a moment that our military isn't interested or using high resolution display technology.  From submarines to aircraft carriers, large screen high def displays (and access to content to watch on them) have proliferated throughout the Navy and I have no doubt throughout the rest of the services too.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DavidB]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 7th 2008 8:22AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/06/american-forces-network-plots-upgrade-to-hd-in-2013/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/07/06/american-forces-network-plots-upgrade-to-hd-in-2013/</guid><description><![CDATA[Sorry if I offended your military sensibilities, but even though high res screens are obviously used in other areas, until one of them has TV signals on them, then it's not an HDTV. No one ever said AFN was the only thing troops watch, but unless I'm mistaken, its the primary one produced by Armed Forces personnel and a good way to get programming from home, even overseas.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Richard Lawler]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 7th 2008 8:31AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
