Prime time show in SD

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

I too was shocked to see that JP was not broadcast in HD.
Are the program execs asleep at the wheel or what?
What a waste.

And speaking of waste - was it really necessary to rebroadcast Dick Van Dyke
and Carol Burnett after only a couple of weeks. Ditto on Friends. which
btw, was not rebroadcast in HD.

I told my kids to watch it on DVD instead.

Well, when my wife switched the channel on the original broadcast, I could
have sworn it was in HD as my set was not in stretch mode.

However, since we were surfing and I didn't watch the show (I'm gathering
you did), then I stand corrected.
