Update: High Def
Friday, November 30, 2007
We received our new High Def cable box/DVR yesterday and was amazed at how clear the channels really are. As of now WideOpenWest offers 20 channels with more coming at the beginning of the year. We have the basic networks, ESPN, Discovery, TNT, PBS, WTV (wealth tv, very strange station), Food Network, Starz and a few others. I loved watching shows last nite on the Discovery since they come in at 1080i. Some channels will broadcast at 720p which is still really good but don't always use the whole screen. We watched the Redwings last nite which was amazing since it was easy to follow the puck and see all the action on the ice. Its almost better than being at the game. The cable box will always display the broadcasting size and also doubles as the DVR. Unfortunately we lost the shows we had saved on the previous ones but oh well, the high def makes up for it.
Starting next year we will be getting my favorite station of all time, the Discovery Science channel in HD which will be amazing. I can then watch all my favorite topics: space, technology, geography, geology, egypt, oceans anything that is more or less on the station. There will be another Discovery along with TLC and Animal Planet. I am not looking forward to Animal Planet tho, the animal rescue shows are bad enough I couldn't imagine them in HD, you could really see the abuse close up. Erika is looking forward to watching Tennis in HD and I am hoping that they replay the Planet Earth series.
