Yep. That's been one of my main channels to watch in HD since I got HD cable and the TV a bit over 3 years ago.

I thought Direct had Discovery HD for awhile now?

They've had Discovery HD Theater. Different programming from the Discovery Channel.

I don't think there's a regular Discovery HD channel, is there?

I just checked my cable, and that's what I have, too. HD Theater

So if TWC and Direct both didn't have it, then basically nobody did, or it didn't exist?

Discovery HD didn't exist before today.

See my next post. :)

Quality is good, but not any better than let's say Channel 13 HD.
I have Time Warner btw.

You're smoking crack.
Not if he's talking about OTA vs. Cable. Cable looks the best of all the TV providers, no doubt, but OTA is the absolute best you can get, other than a 1080P HD DVD or Blu Ray.

meh, depends on the crew and cameras.

Discovery does a great job in this area.

Your right though, national feeds, done with live video, done correctly, OTA = best.
Unless it's NBC...they seem to suck no matter what. ;)

Really?:confused:
Saw Heroes last night- seems they upped the picture quality from last time I saw it. Seemed cleaner, a bit more 3-d as far as I could tell.
Maybe you're talking about football- it does look a bit compressed and overly sharpened.
