This is listed as being in HD. I am getting 5.1 audio, but no HD video...just 4:3 SD. Anyone else?


UPDATE:


I called our local affiliate and they have no clue. They said they are looking into it. They said that the movie may not be in HD. I doubt that since I am still getting the 5.1 audio.

The affiliate showed the original JP just before it, and it was SD also. FOX.com doesn't seem to denote whether its shows are hi-def or not. Titan has it as HD.....I shouldn't be too mad, as it is typical of FOX to disappoint.


I only have OTA access to their signal and being that it's very windy today, there's lot of blocking & tiling.



edit: we have the same affiliate....

4x3 SD on Fox O&O station here in NYC (OTA and Time Warner). Looks like the same old 4x3 version Fox has been showing since forever.

D* guide data shows HD, but SD here in Charlotte also.


Looks like incorrect info.

Just an FYI, the original JP is in a syndicated movie package from Universal, and airing on various stations this month. It was sent out on analog composite C-Band satellite, so it is about as far from HD as possible.

Well the good news is, they WILL have "Daddy Day Care" in HD later this week.

The presence or lack of 5.1 audio doesn't tell you if the program is HD or SD. It works well with both and in this case it is SD upconverted to HD.

Title revised.

4:3 in SoCal ota, as well. The whole time, I wondered- all this hubub about switching to hd broadcast and such...all so we can be shown pan'n'scan movies?! [claps slowly] Well done, Fox and Universal, well done!

Maaaan Daddy Day Care on SD? why? they are airing it in HD in Mexico? so Mexico wins again? LOL.. FOX needs a few lessons.. (BTW Fox was the last president's last name).
