Pbs Hd

I thought PBS was partially funded by we the ppl.!

Why is it that they are able to broadcats over 90% of the TIME HDTV material?

I was watching this channel for the past 2 days and I am truly amazed.!!

Why cant the big companies broadcast a majority of their programming in true HDTV formats. I hate these shows with the bars!!

Even though CBS proimetime rocks!!

And i just dound out that I have INHD 1 and 2 I am such a moron!!
UGHH!!

PBS is totally funded by we the people. :)

Taxes from big brother and donations (personal and corporate).

I too enjoy the HD I pay for on PBS :)

If you enjoy PBS, as you say, then become a member - I am and I don't get the tax rebate 'cause I'm in a different country...

(not all PBS affiliates are created equally)

I am I contribute $$$ monthly.!

Maybe that is why I enjoy their programming that much more..LOL!!:cheers:

With my affiliate (Detroit), my money goes to the "digital (HD)" side of the station....

I'm not sure if you can specify.

I'm disappointed with PBS-HD over-the-air in my neck of the woods, (Northern N.J.) They're broadcasting at a lower bitrate. It's apparent after just a few minutes of viewing... :(
I hope they're just fine-tuning it, but I'll bet multicasting is the culprit. (The clarity of the HD that PBS was sending off the WTC for a few months in 2001 was awesome.)

Just as an FYI, PBS Detroit multicasts and I'd consider it the best PQ I get, next to a demo loop that Rogers runs on a demo channel. I get 18 HD channels for comparison.
