Nov 22nd 2008 6:08PM Neat updates. But there are no public transport directions for Los Angeles. I tried five different combinations of directions.
Anybody else outside of SF have public transport directions?

Nov 11th 2007 10:27PM Do the reruns of Planet Earth tonight on Discovery Channel HD look less dynamic than when it was on Discovery HD Theater? Or is it just me?
It looks like a little nicer than an uprez but not as nice as before.

HD DVD and Blu-ray releases on July 31st, 2007 {Engadget HD}
Jul 30th 2007 4:08PM I heard the encoding quality wasnt optimal on the UK Blue Planet, with some gradients looking even better on the US Discovery broadcasts (!)
Anyone know of an early review that might give a clue as to the encode quality on this US version?

Cox to add National Geographic HD {Engadget HD}
Jul 19th 2007 3:14PM I'm going to second a negative on National Geographic HD
Dish offers it as a premium channel but had it in free preview mode for several days. I watched on a very good CRT HDTV from the Sony XBR series. I thought the programs were not as nice In visual or content quality as either Discovery Theater HD or Voom's Equator HD.
This may have changed since then, but I wouldnt know.
And in general, even their SD channel has a "cheap/taboid" feel to it that does not reflect the value of the National Geographic Magazine.
