I will have to let Mac answer that...I know nothing about TV other than sometimes it is good to watch.

Except Monday Night Football, which looks amazing. The HD box cabled with "component out" makes the other non HD channels look fuzzy. I connected a standard cable wire to the tv1 and the digital and analog channels are much clearer. So now I only use the component video out to watch HDTV.

Would like CBS for the Super Bowl, plus a few other CBS programs. Also for NESN (local sports which Comcast carries in HD) which carries Bruins & Red Sox games in HD. Then really, I said that ANYTHING would be nice. Having 2 channels is a little weak. I'd be embarrassed to be the head HDTV guy at Adelphia and only be able to offer 2 channels for months while other systems have at least 8. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9068472 Tue, 13 Jan 2004 17:51:26 EDT Re: Adelphia hdtv http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9052898 Perfectchris : That's the million dollar question I want to know. Rumor over the internet is there trying to add CBS in time for the Super bowl. I could care less for CBS, instead I feel they should focus on HDnet (full hd programming), Discovery HD, ESPN HD or even Fox Sports HD (yes, they offer this). Anyone that lives in the Socal area, I highly suggest taking 10 seconds to request these channels at this link. It may help them know where the demand is in this small market. »www.adelphiasocal.com/section_contact.shtml

BTW, The quality of HD channels in Anaheim, California is top notch. They have excellent Picture Quality on the channels they have and I would personal recommend to anyone interested.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9052898 Mon, 12 Jan 2004 06:18:18 EDT Re: Adelphia hdtv http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9052420 IPPlanMan : What channels will Adelphia add next in the SoCal market to HDTV?

I have tried that but my set is a 4:3 hdtv. I know the hd will have bars on the top and bottom, but on the non-hdtv - I have to reset the scan lines to 480 to get a full picture. If not, I get a 4:3 picture with a 2" black border all around. I thought there was a way to reset itself to a full screen. Thanks again. Your info works perfect on a 16:9 set, which I did for my friend.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9050957 Sun, 11 Jan 2004 22:01:52 EDT Re: Adelphia hdtv http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9050474 anon : ijgolf:

You have to setup the cable box to see your 16:9 screen. Shut off your cable box. Hold down the Guide & Info buttons on the cable box. Then the screen setup starts. Setup your screen for 16:9 and 1080i. Turn on the cable box. Your HD channels should fit with no black bars.

Now all your nonHD channels will have bars on the left & right. Go into the Advanced Settings. You'll see the setting for Picture Size. Set it to Stretch. This will stretch all the nonHD channels to fill with no black bars, but it won't change the HD channels.

You should be good after that. The Guide bar on the bottom of the screen doesn't fit like before, but who cares!

Even the techs have no ide how to set up the cable box. Only 3 channels so far. I have a standard shape 32" Sony HDTV. When I view the HD channels, I lose 3-4" off the top and bottom of my tv - even though it is full with. 1) does HDTV only come in the 16:9 wide screen format? 2) can I set my tv to see a full picture at the 1080 setting?
Plus the HDTV picture is only a little better than the digital image I had before and on the other channels. I don't think losing the size equates to the slight better picture quality.
