Re: How does HD Programs work?
Actually, the HD Jay Leno is a completely different person than the SD Jay Leno. the HD guy has more wrinkles, and finer patterns in his clothing. His audience is much more 3D, too: they are all aound you rather than just a bunch of cardboard cutouts up front.
Nah, I'm just kidding.
If there is a show (like Leno) shot on HD cameras, and then broadcast on the HD channels, they take the same sound and the same image (with the sides cropped off) and broadcast it in good old analog. they may send a standard def digital signal over cable to the SD-only subsribers.
But, you see the same thing in SD as you do in HD, for the most part. the HD picture is wider, so you get a bit more.
I have no idea what the other poster means about the commercials...
In order to see the HD shows, you will need an HD TV, an HD converteer box, and the cable company must allow you to see the HD channels. this may or may not mean an additional subscription fee; only yuour cable or satellite provider can answer that last part.
