What to rent: DVD releases for 3/25/08

By Mike on March 25, 2008

Not a huge week in DVDs unless you love TV shows, horror films, the subject of the afterlife and high definition calibration tools. Woo! Let’s jump right into all the DVD shenanigans. Party of Five: Season 3 I just have to say, I absolutely LOVED Party of Five and so did the three guys I [...] Continue →

Confirmed: ESPNewsHD arrives March 30th

According to EngadgetHD, the providers that already have carriage agreements in place (which means they should carry it immediately) are Direct TV, Comcast and Time Warner. Continue →

The first ESPNewsHD screenshots are here!

The first ESPNewsHD screenshots are here!

By Mike on March 10, 2008

The only reason I don’t watch as much of ESPNews as I used to is because I’ve become an HD Snob, as my wife likes to put it, and rarely do I find myself watching something that isn’t in high-def. Well in case you all forgot, we mentioned back in late December that ESPNewsHD would [...] Continue →

What to watch: DVD releases for 2/26/08

By Mike on February 26, 2008

I’m having a hard time getting super-excited for anything coming out this week, but there are a few interesting options out there for your weekend DVD rental fun. Beowulf Beowulf was generally considered pretty decent, but it was shown in theaters with 3D effects, so there is no telling how much it loses being shown [...] Continue →

Direct TV HD pay-per-view offerings

Direct TV HD pay-per-view offerings

By Mike on February 22, 2008

The last month or two I’ve been fairly impressed with the speed at which Direct TV is slapping up movies in their high definition pay-per-view channels. It started off slow, but it’s hitting on all cylinders right now. Case in point, Michael Clayton was just released on DVD and Blu-Ray this past Tuesday and it’s [...] Continue →

The Price is Right going high-def

By Mike on February 14, 2008

Because most things that are related to high definition intrigue me, the fact that the Price is Right is going to be in HD pretty soon was kind of cool. Just another step in the right direction for television. The sooner all shows are broadcast in high-def, the better. I guess there is going to [...] Continue →

Battlestar Galactica Season 1 on UHD January 5th

Battlestar Galactica Season 1 on UHD January 5th

By Mike on January 2, 2008

Just as I noted a few days ago after seeing a promo for it on Universal HD, my DVR today picked up Episode “33″, which is the official first episode of Battlestar Galactica: Season 1. The funny thing is that Universal HD’s own website doesn’t show this on their schedule, but my DTV guide has [...] Continue →

ESPNews HD launches March 30th with new graphics

ESPNews HD launches March 30th with new graphics

By Mike on December 28, 2007

One of my favorite channels is ESPNews, but ever since I joined the HD world, I haven’t really watched it as much since I’m prone to surf the high-def stations instead. Back in October I passed on to you guys that it wouldn’t be until March until they finally came out with ESPNews in high [...] Continue →

Watch Battlestar Galactica on Universal HD in January

By Mike on December 25, 2007

All of you on-the-fencers who wish you were watching Battlestar Galactica, but want to start from the beginning are finally in luck! Of course, you do need a high-definition television and a cable/satellite provider that has Universal HD as an available channel. But honestly, if you don’t, you may as well just rent the DVDs [...] Continue →
