"^I thought the ad said hundreds of free HD shows, not hundreds of free HD on demand shows. I assume they are refering to no additional charge for basic HD programing."

Just saw the ad again. The mention having on-demand HD content while satellite has none, and in the next sentence they say that they offer hundreds of free on-demand shows. They then go back to saying how with satellite you have to wait for your HD movies while with TWC you can get them whenever you want. But yeah, they never explicity said free HD on-demand content. Just free on-demand content and tons of hd on demand content.

Ah well, I shouldn't be surprised that a commercial is blatantly misleading while technically completely correct. It's not like this would be a first.

Didn't we used to receive Discovery HD? I don't see it on the guide anymore. Did Nat Geo replace it?

1/22/2008 9:46:42 AM

no its still there

its not discovery channel hd (like the same shows/etc on the regular discover channel)

its discovery theater channel...its like 280 or something

1/22/2008 11:09:24 AM

they were saying on the radio a little while ago that the Duke/UNC game in a week or whenever is going to be on both ESPN and Raycom, BOTH in High Def...I guess this means Raycom finally got their shit together and we can watch all games in HD?

1/31/2008 4:17:36 PM

^the game tonight is on 2 HD channels, 255 (wral) and 289 (espn2).

1/31/2008 4:56:14 PM

sweet

1/31/2008 5:09:00 PM

^^^NO, raycom did not get their shit together...they are showing 4 games this acc season in HD and this is one of them...

1/31/2008 5:28:15 PM

only 4? well damn

wtf is their excuse? we have arguably the best and most storied college basketball conference in the country, and we can't get more than 4 games in HD?

1/31/2008 6:33:23 PM

just 4 regular season and then the entire acc tournament

1/31/2008 7:13:00 PM

it's fucking bullshit is what it is

1/31/2008 7:31:16 PM

did anybody else last night during the duke/state game have the audio go in and out back and forth for a 5-10 second period a few times throughout the game?

2/1/2008 12:35:27 PM

yeah they weren't prepared for hd

2/1/2008 12:43:20 PM

i didn't mind too much...it made the crazies' chants seem slightly less annoying at the time

11/19/2008 3:03:08 PM

Still missing ScifiHD, and BSG returns in January.

11/19/2008 3:05:21 PM

is CNNHD channel 269 not working for anyone else?

11/20/2008 12:47:38 PM

After discovery HD, SciFi is the only other one I care about.

11/20/2008 12:51:40 PM

I'd like to see us get a FOX HD feed...currently Fox is digital but not HD

[Edited on November 20, 2008 at 12:55 PM. Reason : 240 in Charlotte]

11/20/2008 12:54:55 PM

^ Fox is HD here in raleigh.

11/20/2008 12:59:44 PM

has it always been? I think the one in Charlotte is still FOXDT

11/20/2008 1:11:59 PM

man- i thought raleigh was gettin screwed over

raleigh's had fox hd (250 here) for a very long time, maybe even as one of the original hd lineup (?)

11/20/2008 1:20:32 PM

What're the chances of us getting SciFi in HD by the time BSG hits?

11/20/2008 1:25:45 PM

^^I remember when Charlotte got our first batch of HD channels, we got ABC, CBS and NBC in HD (among others) but Fox was DT...Panthers games still looked great, and maybe I'm an idiot and its been upgraded to HD, but for some reason I think its still DT (i'll check my guide sometime)

11/20/2008 1:27:43 PM

anyone check out CNNHD in Raleigh yet?

11/20/2008 1:49:05 PM

Fox has definitely had HD in Charlotte TWC since at least last football season, because I watched a couple Panther games there in HD.

11/20/2008 2:33:15 PM

Yeah Fox has been HD in Charlotte for a longass time.

11/20/2008 3:22:24 PM

why exactly did they take MOJO away?

11/20/2008 3:27:34 PM

^they aren't.. the channel is going off the air.

that's because WRAL=WRAZ (Fox), so both have been HD for forever since they owned by the same people obviously.

11/24/2008 12:43:00 PM

has anyone been able to get DiscoveryHD in Raleigh? the channel shows up in the list, but it always says the channel is not available at this time when i try to view it.

12/17/2008 1:42:52 PM

When they first rolled out the last batch of HD channels in Charlotte, I had a bunch that did that. I rebooted my box and they worked after that. Give it a try.

12/17/2008 2:03:22 PM

that worked, thanks!
