FoxHD

[Ext User(sugar ray lamotta)]

Does anybody know when we will be getting FoxHD.

In the UK you needed to get another STB and have digital already connected.
Your TV has to be HD ready with a HDMI input.

Not even the new satellite has the capacity for TRUE HD. (1080i)
They might call it HD but realistically it will be some compressed rubbish.
I hope they fix the existing crap before they start spouting forth about HD

Really???? You think 24 TRANSPONDERS aren't enough capacity for a 1080i
channel eh?

ROTFL.

Oh, so they should be transmitting UNCOMPRESSED HD video eh? Now there's
an intelligent idea....

Well there you said it yourself. It doesn't matter what level of
compression is used - the source material will still be CRAP.

I meant the VIDEO Quality is crap.
Just look at NASCAR racing on Fox sports, it doesn't look like that in the
US
