The first 2 times I tuned to CNN HD, I get heavy pixelation, but it did clear up.
Update! Problem fixed.
Just an FYI, my pixelation was due in part to a bad cable. The cable was replaced and I'm now fully enjoying the additional HD programming.

Kiran Chetry looks great in SD, HD, any D.
The woman is stunning at any resolution.

No kidding?
I used to watch her on Fox and Friends every morning, but haven't tuned in for many months.
Shows what I know. |

This channel is the surprise to me. Simply put, why would NEWS not have demanded a FNCHD as a part of the sale?

I noticed that the HD and SD channels have different crawls at the bottom.

Probably due to the aspect ratio of the screen. The Crawl is likely the same info, just phased differently because of the screen sizes  .

You might be correct, but at the moment, one is doing sports and the other one is doing news.
