    MeTV and the Soap-Opera effect

    Yes, I caught a brief glimpse of my favorite, Death Ship, after midnight, and I saw one of those glitches. This, however, was on Decades.

    MeTV and the Soap-Opera effect

    😆, I have been recording Monk recently, and today I noticed a first for me. You won't believe this. It's a CBS UHF station. According to my tv guide for like the next two weeks, and probably longer, they are running consecutive episodes, but in reverse. I thought something awfully odd was going...

    How would I know the difference? Oh, I think I know what you mean. You're asking who is changing the resolution, but I have no idea.

    MeTV and the Soap-Opera effect

    Want to hear a fascinating bit? I am recording METV Gilligan's island as usual, and they are running it for two hours, which will complete in nineteen minutes. So that's four shows in two hours time. The first two shows (I didn't check the third) were allegedly in 720p. Now, the last one is in...

    LOL, I was wondering for some time what you meant by .1 and .2. Mine is a .1 anyway. Yes, I have only one other retro HD channel and it also is a .1. I think you might say that generally the higher the fraction, the worse the programming altogether. And yes, I'll agree Hogan's Heroes does look...

    MeTV and the Soap-Opera effect

    That sure is a weird looking photo. You know what's so good about it though? I thought it was a separate studio shot and not from the film itself, because for some reason it looks weird. It's better than 480p, but it just looks odd, and then I noticed the logo. That just backs what I've noticed...

    I think if it has black bars, the material isn't HD. Not an absolute barometer, but that's pretty accurate. Like right now, Big Valley is on METV, and it has some narrow black bars, but definitely not HD. HD signal, just not HD enhancement.

    Nevermind, see next post.

    MeTV and the Soap-Opera effect

    Thanks for the clarification. If I understand you correctly, if nobody but NY is able to get it, and it sounds like even then it's just a niche area of that, I'm not sure saying they're all in HD is the best thing to say. But if I understand your overall tone, you weren't so much emphasizing...

    MeTV and the Soap-Opera effect

    What in the world are you saying? I'm saying those networks you mentioned are NOT in HD, not that they are and you left one out. Honestly, I'm so used to those networks being garbage, maybe they're HD and I don't know it, but OTA I rather doubt it. What are they allegedly doing 720 or 1080...

    Maybe you didn't realize how that came across, but to me you're stating that these other networks have HD, and to my knowledge none of them do but METV. Does anybody have a clue what METV will be digitizing next?
