No HD for VICTORIA

IF true..


This brings up a point. CBS should be ashemed . They are Pathetic. Period.. Why? Not because they are not showing it in HD ( though that is annoying) but because they show no initiative to make their public website accurate. And if they do then their attempts are nothing short of incompetent


Their website has had HD listing mistakes on a regular basis for at least a year now. Do they care? Nope, not judging from there actions.

And we know that there are CBS websites that are accurate that we no longer can gain access too.


CBS should somehow make the relevant information they use to program the internal website available to teh mangers of teh public website. If one website can be accurate then both can be..


I know this will be thought unreasonable, but the cbs defenders and apologists can save it. Nothing will change teh fact, the hd listing errors on the CBS website time and time again do show some sort of a lack of caring about their hd viewers. Yes it is a small thing, but it being left rectified for this long is truly ridiculous, and does show a lack of caring..


Hopefully the website is correct and I will have to eat my words; at least in this case.

Nevertheless, we can hope that the picture quality (even if 4:3 and not HD) will be superior to that seen on regular TV's when seen on DTV.


As far as "simulcast in HD", well that is a stretch. SD footage shot at 4:3 but shown on 1080i on their digital channels is certainly not HD.


However I point out that last year's show presented on ABC was also shot at 4:3 (actually, it looked more like 14:9) but was super-clear and with gorgeous color when shown on ABC-DT (upconverted from network-720p to 1080i in Dallas by the local affiliate).


Sure, I'd prefer to see it in "true HDTV" but I am guessing it will still look very good on CBS-DT, unless they used ordinary SD cameras in which case it will look like crap.


My hunch is that they used good cameras. Look, "Survivor" is not shot in HD either but it still looks glorious on CBS-DT.

CBS is delivering it to the stations as 480I upconverted to 1080I.
