At AnthonyD's request, the "offiical" HD thread. All HD-related discussion goes in here - sports, movies, sitcoms / TV shows, documentaries you've watched on HD or have heard about on HD.
Also, when you reply for the first time, list your provider, equipment for display, resolution watched and overall impressions - as below. I'll start. :P
Provider: Cogeco
Equipment: Acer PD-120D projector (DLP), 92" 16:9 aspect ratio manual pull-down projection screen, ceiling-mounted.
Resolutions watched: 1920x1080i for "true" HD channels, 720x480p for upconverted analogue / digital channels.
Impressions: the upconverted channels shown to me by my Motorola box are worth the $10/mo rental fee alone. My boss came over, saw the HD channels and had it on order 2 weeks later. Then he realized that the box upconverts the rest of the channels. Double SOLD!
It doesn't matter whether it's Leafs hockey, a documentary on Mars or monkeys on PBS or my favourite new guilty pleasure - Heroes on NBCHD... it's absolutely stunning. I've never had a single person leave our house without saying wow or I want one or that's amazing! - and I'm not kidding.
