Dayton's WHIO-TV shows off digital with dueling political speeches

by Darren Murph, posted Sep 10th 2008 at 9:55PM

Though certainly not the first station to use its X.x channels for something other than pixelated weather and re-runs, Dayton, Ohio's WHIO-TV recently showcased what digital TV was all about with simultaneous widescreen broadcasts of local political speeches. Both major party presidential nominees were in the Miami Valley area and speaking at the same time, and rather than being, you know, biased, it choose to provide live uninterrupted coverage of both speeches on DTV channels 7.1 and 7.2. Of note, the speeches weren't used as a DTV test (good choice), but news director David Bennallack did assert that this was a "great opportunity to show viewers how DTV can work for them." On that note, have you applied for your voucher yet?

Thanks, Dayton Guy]

Sneak peek at the White House home theater

by Darren Murph, posted Feb 26th 2008 at 8:31PM


C'mon, deep down in your soul, you knew even the White House had a home theater, right? Granted, we've all ideas (or, at least we hope) that it's used more often to impress foreign visitors than to sneak a peek at the latest Blu-ray release, but we digress. Truth be told, we're still entirely more enamored with the $6 million Kipnis Studio Standard, but then again, the president's own isn't half bad for what used to be a cloakroom. Check out another look after the break.

Dan Rather Reports on Politics rolls to Florida on HDNet

by Darren Murph, posted Jan 26th 2008 at 4:19PM

If we had to surmise, we'd say that the primary in Florida will be one of the most closely watched for whatever reason, but hey, call it a hunch. As expected, Dan Rather Reports on Politics will also be headed down to Miller Auditorium at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida to provide a two-hour live broadcast to analyze the outcome of the primary. Notably, Rather will be joined by "veteran campaign strategists" Republican Mike Murphy and Democrat Donald Fowler, and if insanity breaks out again over hanging chads and the like, we're sure it'll be quite the time. Tune in next Tuesday at 8:00PM EST on HDNet, and cross your fingers for controversy.

Ask HD Beat: What HDTV should the President of Weblogs, Inc buy

by Matt Burns, posted Jun 16th 2006 at 11:18AM

These are the times that we here at HD Beat could use all of your collective HDTV experience as the President for our company has turned to us for help. Brian Alvey, the President of Weblogs, Inc, needs a new HDTV and is looking for recommendations. He is moving his current Mitsubishi big-screen (around 52-inches) to the basement because of glare and needs a replacement. This is your chance guys. You get to be the salesman here but keep in mind that we are trying to sell to the needs of the customer.

Brian is looking for the biggest and baddest HDTV he can fit in the same spot that is going to have little-to-no glare. He doesn't plan on using HD DVDs or Blu-ray ether - but that could change. The HDTV needs to be currently available and as he put it to us, "What I don't want is a recommendation to wait 6 months for 'technology X' that is going to change the market."

What you would recommend to Brian?
