CBS CBS is currently broadcasting all primetime dramas and entertainment shows plus soap "The Young and the Restless" and several sports specials in HDTV. CBS broadcasts all of their HDTV content in the 1080i format and has a schedule of what shows are in HDTV format here: http://www.cbs.com/info/hdtv/ NBC NBC is currently broadcasting many shows in HDTV. NBC broadcasts all of their HDTV content in the 1080i format. They do not have an HDTV schedule on their website but do have basic info on HDTV info at http://www.nbc.com/nbc/fo...HDTV.shtml ABC ABC is currently broadcasting most of their primetime shows as well as many sporting events in HDTV. ABC broadcasts all of their HDTV content in the 720p format. They do not have an HDTV schedule on their website. WB WB is broadcasting a few shows in 1080i HDTV. They do not have an HDTV schedule on their website. UPN UPN does not have any shows in HDTV. FOX FOX is currently broadcasting digitally in 480p. Most of the content is simply regular NTSC (480i) content sent out as 480p, but some content, such as NASCAR, is shot and broadcast in 480p widescreen (which is a good improvement over the standard NTSC broadcast, but still not as good as HDTV). FOX is not currently broadcasting any HDTV content, but they recently announced that at least 50% of their Fall 2004 primetime lineup will be in 720p HDTV. PBS PBS has several shows in HDTV. All of their HDTV content is in 1080i. Their HDTV schedule page is here: http://www.pbs.org/digita...vsched.htm Wow, You've got some SERIOUS inaccuracies going on here.You need to stop cutting and pasting from an article that's almost four years old. At the very least, you should cite your source instead of presenting it as your own. CBS: correct NBC: correct ABC: correct WB: correct UPN: Totally incorrect. It broadcasts in 1080i; current HDTV shows off the top of my head include: Everybody Hates Chris, Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars, Smallville, and Supernatural, FOX: Incorrect. Fox gave up the 480p broadcasts years ago (which your statement even alludes to). They broadcast most of their primetime line-up in 720p. PBS: correct |

PBS: correct I thought it's obvious that I cut and paste (quickly while at work)on message boards like this. Everyone knows about google, it's your automatic citation as well (in reverse). Looking back, I should have simply said that 1080i or 1080p is still the same resolution material, you just get fields at 1080i. And the difference between hidef and ntsc (dvd) is monumental. You can't mistake them for each other on a true hidef tv. If the pic of Prince's bumps is a crop from a hidef frame, I'd love to see a comparison of the same frame in ntsc.

An old thread -- wish I'd seen this a little earlier. Wasn't able to read every post, but...
...it seems that one big point is missing from this whole discussion. WHAT WILL BE USED AS THE SOURCE FOR THE BROADCAST? I don't think they will be sending a High Def capture of the 35 mm cinema film. Most likely, they will take the standard definition Widescreen Edition DVD, and upconvert that to HDTV. This means that the picture will not be any better than if you were to play this same DVD in your DVD player at home (provided you have some decent upconversion, either in the player, or in your TV, or in an external device, whatever). I've been capturing HDTV footage recently. The SuperBowl show: I have that in 1920x1080 resolution -- it looks incredible! - Erik | |

Thank you. That's exactly what I was saying. "New Power slide...." |
