I realize that the WRC 11 o'clock news isn't broadcast in widescreen, but doggonit, the quality of the broadcast is remarkable. Are they now doing the news in HDTV or am I just smoking crack?

If its not widescreen, its not HDTV. 16:9 is part of the HDTV standard. In other words, put down the pipe.

You may or may not being smoking crack, I don't know. However, the damn thing looks closer to HDTV than any other non-HDTV program I have ever seen. It's unbelievable how good it looks.

WRC used to have horrible upconversion. For the last couple of months it has been very good, especially the locally-produced material such as the local news. It's not HDTV, but it's very nice.

Hi all,


I just passed this thread to Ms. Linda Sullivan, GM at WRC. You may remember 3-4 months ago we had a "lousy up-conversion" thread. She took action to get things fixed.
