True HD Channels no longer HD?

[petedk]

I have only just turned on the Tv and tried BBC World News. Channels 116 and 114 (Both BBC World News) are of exactly the same quality.

It says HD on the display menu but the picture quality certainly isn't HD.

I then tried Food Network HD and that isn't HD either. I can't be bothered to try other channels right now.

Anyone else having this problem?

Nope. All is well here.

Note: all the new Thai channels (numbered from 11-46) they are not HD even if the name says HD.

That's strange.

When I change channel to 114 it says BBC World News HD on the true display at the bottom of the screen, but the picture is SD quality.

Before the change BBC was in beautiful HD. The same goes for Food Network Channel.

I'll have to contact True

I have just noticed that in the new program guide True advertise BBC World News HD as being a new channel.

That certainly isn't true (No pun intended).

BBC news was not HD before and is not now but CNN was and is again now.

The BBC was never HD

You are wrong. I've been watching BBC in HD for a couple of months.

It was on channel 165 on cabel and was very good quality.

btw, in case you need it, I found the new channel listings since the change yesterday...

BBC HD is only available for Cable viewers AFAIK.

In the new channel line you will see an asterix next to some of the channel numbers, like ch 114, ch 119, ch 125 etc., you get the idea.In the footnote on the channel line up, one asterix indicates these channels are only available for CATV subscribers, so if you are a satellite subscriber you are out of luck

I don't want to complain too much but many of the listings are wrong. Check the news section... many of them are mixed up. Even the digital cahnnels are not all as advertised in the listing.

I am on cable and have TWO BBc News Channels.

According to the listing Channel 113 is BBc New in HD but in fact it is CNN HD (very good quality)

Channel 114 is (according to the screen menu) BBC World News HD (the listing says CNBC) and it is NOT in HD

Channel 116 is BBC SD and same quality as Channel 114 (according to the listing it is Bloomberg)

Another example

Channel 3 according to thelisting is Channel 7 but in fact it is True Inside
