TBS's quasi HD network to launch September 1st {Engadget HD}

Jan 7th 2008 2:56PM ??? GUESS AGAIN!

I've now looked at more than 20 programs on TBS- "HD". Every single one has been distorted and completely unwatchable. Movies are all stretched from 4:3 versions to 16:9. And somehow they have even managed to ruin recent HD TV shows that are being natively produced in 16:9 (such as The Office) so that they are horribly distorted too.

I'm convinced from the utter non-response of TNT-HD to the huge number of complaints that we users have made about distorted programs on that channel, that complaining to Turner about their tragically poor PQ is pointless.

TBS-HD is a complete waste of bandwidth on the cable. I've asked my cable co to drop it from the lineup.
