No Closed Captioning on USA-HD. 
This is not DirecTV's issue, but the channel itself. They don't seem to feel that deaf/HoH customers watch their channel, I guess.

No Stretch-O-Vision at least, but I noticed that they are showing repeats of NBC's new shows, but they don't list them in HD. They also aren't listing Burn Notice or Psych in HD. Maybe it's just a guide issue because I hope their original programming is in HD.

Looks pretty good so far. Coach was obviously not a HD show. At least USA didn't go the stretch-o-vision route.
I'm getting the channel in 1080i.

I don't expect RAW to be in HD for a while yet. Last I heard they weren't using HD Cameras and production and wouldn't be for a while. They are worried that HD will make the illusion even more noticeable.

RAW will not be HD till Jan 2008. The WWE has announced iirc that as their target date to go HD. I know Spike has told TNA to purchase HD equipment so we might see TNA in HD before the WWE.

OKay, i know it's a PQ discussion, but I really wish they would have had this up in time for The 4400....I'm pretty sure that channel is in HD....or at least 16:9 (as I've seen it on SkyOne that way).
Oh well. Here's hoping 4400 gets renewed for another season!

I got no joy this morning on USA-HD; nothing but a black screen. Hopefully, it'll be fixed by the time I get home tonight.

Monk, Psych, and The 4400 should be back in January. And until then, there's always the repeats.
Thank you, USA Network, for no stretch-o-vision.

The current PGA Tour TV package doesn't have any early round coverage on USA, it's all on Golf Channel. USA was done after last season.
