I watched WRC-HD in D.C. live last night for "Ed" and "The West Wing." I usually don't catch these shows digitally since they're just upconversions. However since the seasons are almost over I thought I would suffer through a few commercials instead of watching via the Tivo as I usually do.
I have to say I was very impressed with the quality of the upconversions. I remember in previous years that WRC used a stretch technique that looked very bad, and even when they stopped that, the upconversions had lots of artifacts. Last night's shows were very good. Also I had no dropouts or other reception problems all evening.
This really has me excited to see some actual HD content in primetime next fall, in addition to the nearly unwatchable "Crossing Jordan" (sorry fans.)
Between the new HD shows on NBC, and WJLA hopefully following through on their promise to start carrying the network HD feeds from ABC, it looks like this coming fall will be a great season for the couch potatoes
