UniversalHD changing its policy and now interrupting movies with commercials.

Boy oh boy do I like watching TV these days :rolleyes:

Damn... and I was excited to be getting Universal HD on Wednesday.

Yeah, HD is becoming like Regular TV now. With HDNet Movies being moved off to specialty tiers and bit starved, even it will go the way of the dodo soon.

Damned profit motive... what will they think of next? Allowing the people to vote for President? :mad:

:)

If your like me, I've stopped watching these channels so if they are trying to make a profit, I ain't seeing it. I'm sure I'm not the only one doing this.

Me too. I used to like AMC back in the day they weren't interrupted with commercials every 5 minutes. I don't watch movies with commercials period. They can forget my eyeballs on their station.

You forgot so-called HD channels streching everything and labeling it as HD anyway. Seems like we are going backwards at times.

Actually, it would be nice if we WERE allowed to vote for the president, instead of voting for people to do it for us...

Yeah, it was really cool 6 years ago when they didn;t even bother to run commercials.

Hehe, actually six years ago, we thought it was cool if they DID run a Commercial in HD on HDNet or HDNet Movies. ;)

Why wouldn't you expect any of the advertising already happening on SDTV to move to HDTV? As HD becomes the norm, you're going to see just as many of the intrusive ads on HD programming. It's not like it was never going to happen... we were just lucky that HD was under the radar in terms of on-screen promos for as long as it was.

Another channel panders to J6P. I've not seen UHD in a few days. I hope this doesn't happen with HDNet Movies, please !!!

(to another pstr, I remember the days of ad-free AMC too)

I agree, it's anoying, but I can deal with it on free channels. They gotta pay the bills. What I hate is when they do it on pay stations!!!!:mad:

But do you remember the days when AMC actually showed American Movie Classics. And not Breaking Bad, Young Guns II, and Red Dawn (looking at todays schedule.)

I hear ya on Universal HD, watched some of Ferris Bueller last night, while it was nice to see OAR and unedited language, I've noticed commercials, and a now constant bug in the lower right:mad:

Still have pristine copies of Apollo 13 and Happy Gilmore on DVHS from that channel back in 2006, no bugs, maybe 1 commercial?

Realities, most of them are still on SD even if they have high ratings and high budget.

Like I was really dissapointed with the apprentice this year, the promos were in HD and when we turned in the whole show is in SD.

I don't get why 1vs100, deal or no deal and some other of these primetime shows are still in SD, as if they use that many cameras to produce them, I could get like amazing race they are in countries they may not have the technology to shoot in HD, but the fixes studio ones?

For someone who claims to do everything first class he sure doesn't do it here. Maybe he doesn't know HD exists.

If he wanted to do it first class he would've taken the show off of NBC.

Or he (insert hair joke) used all of his money to style his hair.

Huh? ABC doesn't do anything to their HD video, except for the ABCHD bug in the lower-right corner and the obvious (I'm in HD snipe and the start of a show).

Have you seen something I've not seen?

I was pretty sure I saw something on ABC recently although I am not positive.

Not to mention it's disappointing 10 Mbps bitrate :mad:

NBC spent all their extra money on the promo bug machine. No HD Deal or 1 vs, 100

If it was only the cameras they needed to be HD these shows would have been HD by now. It is the millions of dollars of other equipment to tape, edit, and deliver these shows.

I've never seen anything on ABC. But I have started seeing them on FOX.
