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
We reported it months ago, and showed you awesome screenshots last week, but now it’s been totally confirmed that ESPNewsHD will blast onto your high definition landscape on March 30th. Continue →
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 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
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
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.

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
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
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
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 →
