If you have DirecTv, The Sci-Fi network and USA network went HD, so now we will be able to see HD versions of Battlestar Gallactica, the 4400, and hopefully Dr. Who (I am not sure if they filmed it in HD).

Just as an FYI, the other new HD networks this morning are:

* Comcast SportsNet Chicago HD (Channel 640)
* Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic HD (Channel 629)
* New England Sports Network/NESN HD(Channel 623)
* SportsNet New York HD (Channel 625)
* YES HD (Channel 622)
* Cinemax East (Channel 512)
* Cinemax West (Channel 514)
* HBO West (Channel 504)
* Bravo (Channel 273)
* SciFi Channel (Channel 244)
* USA Network (Channel 242)

Looks like Sci-fi, USA, and Bravo (all in the NBC Universal umbrella) are doing 1080i. I am at work so haven't watched, but I am hearing so far, they haven't actually shown any true HD shows yet today and are just showing upconverted shows, but everyone seems to be hoping to see SG:Atlantis in true HD.

And they are letterboxing upconverted content instead of stretching (thank goodness!)

That's a relief! I heard when Fox converted a few years ago, they only went to 480P.
