HDNet HD Test Patterns...?

Maybe I am having a momentary lapse in my memory, but I think I recall HDNet playing test patterns, possibly on Sunday mornings? I can't seem to find anything on their site.


Does anyone know if they stopped doing this?

Awesome. Thanks. A search on hd.net for test and/or patterns yields nothing. Strange.

Looks like they have a geometry problem. Maybe intended to make the benefactor look slim?

Yep... that was the topic of the thread I linked to. I used the circle in the test pattern to correct the projected aspect ratio.

Since 5:00 AM (PT) is a bit early for me I wish they would sell a DVHS tape of the test pattern. I saw some test DVHS tapes for sale but they were a little pricy at $80. For something this easy I would expect $19.95 to be more like it.


I can record OTA but not satellite so I cannot record HDNet. Damm Dish Network.

Damn Dish Network, indeed... :)


I recorded the HDNet test patterns, and it's still on my HD-TiVo from a couple months ago...


Aaahhhh... Life with TiVo is so good... ;)

Nope, that one's too big. It won't fit on my screen. :D
