CART qualifying in HDTV

Thank you, Mark Cuban!! If you have DirectTV AND a hi-definition receiver/TV, CART's qualifying on Friday and Saturday will be broadcast in HDTV on Channel 199 (HD NET) http://www.hd.net/schedule_today.html I HOPE they use real digital cameras and not analog cameras w/scalers. The difference is noticeable. Even my wife (a techno-phobe) can tell the difference. If they use digital cameras, the picture quality should be superb and the sound is Dolby Digital 5.1. Mark Cuban, the owner of HD NET and the Dallas Mavericks, is really try to get HDTV on its feet. This is fantastic!! -Paul

Boy, do I wish Time-Warner would get off of their collective lazy asses and start supporting this. Here in Austin, we only have _2_ channels available in HD, and even then, you have to wait for 4 month months just to get their shitty HD receiver box. Seriously considering dumping this AOL-whore company and nailing my Sony DSS system back to the side of the house...

I love my DSS. I now get four HDTV channels: HD NET - just superb quality pictures and sound HBO-HD - most stuff is 'upscaled' to HDTV. Some are filmed with true digital cameras such as "The Mind of the Married Man" - nudity never looked better ... :-) SHO-HD - I just got this as DirectTV just provided it. Seems similar to HBO-HD CBS - Primetime in hi-def. "Jag", "Everybody Loves Raymond" and such in 16x9 hi-def. Two years ago I watched the Super Bowl in HDTV. It was unbelievable. When I show CBS to friends they are blown away that I am receiving this signal locally through rabbit ears. The picture is unbelievable. soon will be ABC and FOX locally, but I don't believe any shows are being recorded digitally like the CBS shows are. BTW, I have two HDTV systems in my house. I have an RCA digital TV coupled with my RCA DTC100. In my home theater, I have a Hughes feeding into my data grade Marquee 8500 projector which projects onto an 8' screen. I also have a computer connected for flight and racing sims. The projector is designed exactly for this and looks tremendous. -Paul <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:UNDX8.176$[email hidden]... > -Paul <[email hidden]> wrote: > > If you have DirectTV AND a hi-definition receiver/TV, CART's qualifyingon > > Friday and Saturday will be broadcast in HDTV on Channel 199 (HD NET) > > http://www.hd.net/schedule_today.html > > > > I HOPE they use real digital cameras and not analog cameras w/scalers.The > > difference is noticeable.
