Review of fox news commentators list::Where is Laurie Dhue - What's ...








The               sea               of               cable               channels               going               digital               is               quite               vast               now               with               some               that               will               hypnotize               you               with               how               beautiful               their               images               are               on               an               HDTV...and               then               others               that               exist               merely               to               disgust               you               seeing               the               skin               flaws               of               news               anchors               24/7.

If               you've               managed               to               get               that               HDTV               (hopefully               with               a               1080p               resolution               so               you'll               be               set               up               for               the               next               20               years)               and               had               enough               dough               left               over               to               pay               the               rental               fee               for               an               HD               box               from               your               cable               company               (or               deal               with               DirectTV's               HD               satellite               service),               you're               ready               to               explore               some               interesting               channels               in               high-definition.

But               wait,               I               hear               your               frustration               that               you've               heard               about               a               particular               high-definition               channel               you               want,               though               your               cable               system               doesn't               carry               it               yet.

Or               maybe               it's               a               cable               channel               you               love               that               you               want               to               go               digital,               yet               they               may               not               for               a               while               due               to               various               reasons               listed               at               the               end               of               this               article.

Here's               a               short,               opinionated               list               (in               no               particular               order)               of               what               I               think               are               some               of               the               best               high-definition               channels               going               now               that               you               should               check               out               and               should               be               around               for               years.

If               you're               one               willing               to               put               up               with               blackouts               from               sun               spots               and               snow               getting               into               a               satellite               dish,               you               can               probably               get               all               these               on               DirectTV's               HD               package:
               --Discovery               HD               is,               of               course,               the               digital               branch               of               The               Discovery               Channel.

All               you               have               to               do               is               catch               a               rerun               of               the               phenomenal               multi-part               nature               documentary               "Planet               Earth"               on               Discovery               HD               and               you're               in               high-definition               manna.

There               really               isn't               anything               better               than               showing               the               natural               world               around               us               in               high-definition               and               it               gives               credence               for               digital               images               even               existing.

Fortunately,               most               programming               on               Discovery               takes               you               around               the               world               so               you               can               see               details               of               things               you               never               thought               possible               before.

There               are               some               high-definition               talking               heads               here               as               you'd               get               on               History               HD               or               TLC               HD,               though               not               as               many               or               as               long.
               One               drawback               to               Discovery               HD:               Too               many               commercials               (as               in               every               five               minutes)...all               in               HD               glory,               much               to               the               bliss               of               Madison               Avenue               and               food               companies.

In               that               regard,               it's               probably               best               to               buy               or               rent               the               Blu-Ray               version               of               "Planet               Earth."
               --History               HD               as               mentioned               above               may               not               sound               immediately               conducive               to               working               well               in               high-definition.

It               surprisingly               does,               however,               and               the               documentaries               on               how               something               mundane               as               the               history               of               how               cookies               are               made               are               quite               fascinating               in               seeing               clearer               images               of               factories               at               work               making               all               the               things               we               take               for               granted.

As               I               alluded               to               earlier,               you'll               see               a               lot               more               talking               heads...with               a               chance               to               see               that               every               person               on               planet               earth               (and               in               history)               had               skin               that               sometimes               looks               like               the               surface               of               the               moon.
               The               same               drawback               as               Discovery               HD:               Too               many               damn               commercials               in               a               short               amount               of               time.

And               a               plus:               The               only               channel               around               now               that               gets               you               up               to               date               on               the               latest               in               UFO               phenomena               with               numerous               excellent               (to               admittedly               dreadful)               TV               specials.

Seeing               them               all               in               HD               makes               them               worth               your               time.
               --MGM               HD               unfortunately               hasn't               been               getting               much               attention               (it's               on               few               cable               systems               as               of               now)               despite               being               the               only               digital               channel               as               of               this               writing               that               shows               classic               movies               around               the               clock.

It's               self-explanatory               which               movies               they               show               and               from               what               studio,               and               might               be               an               early               indicator               of               where               TCM               will               go               down               the               line.

The               question               is:               Because               of               the               pillar               box               effect               that               creates               left               and               right               black               mattes               on               a               16x9               screen               for               movies               made               before               the               early               1950's,               you               have               to               wonder               how               successful               their               older               movies               will               fare               with               younger               generations               who               demand               to               see               images               fill               the               entire               screen               width               of               their               HDTV's               now.

Regardless,               MGM               HD               doesn't               show               a               lot               of               movies               from               the               20's,               30's,               40's               or               even               50's               like               TCM               does.

After               all,               MGM's               movie               catalog               is               quite               vast               (their               press               release               for               the               channel               last               fall               said               4,100               movies)               and               they               have               55               years               worth               of               widescreen               movies               (and,               wow,               in               color!).
               The               only               drawback               here               is               that               MGM               HD               has               touted               showing               more               recent               movies               from               their               vaults               such               as               "Robocop"               and               "The               Usual               Suspects."               I               hope               they'll               focus               at               least               somewhat               on               older               titles               so               classic               film               can               survive               in               the               HDTV               format.

That               is,               until               TCM               ever               manages               to               go               digital.
               --BBC               HD               is               the               digital               offshoot               of               BBC               America,               which               isn't               probably               valued               or               watched               enough               by               Americans               like               it               should.

Catching               some               of               the               newer               shows               imported               from               across               the               pond               (the               recent               "Robin               Hood"               is               dark,               but               gives               a               good               workout               of               showcasing               darker               colors               on               your               digital               TV)               is               worth               your               time               far               and               above               a               lot               of               the               shows               on               American               network               TV.

Even               the               older               British               sitcoms               seen               there               look               outstanding               in               digital,               despite               nudity               and               language               being               edited               that               was               utilized               on               the               original               BBC               runs               already               30               years               ago.
               The               same               drawback               as               in               some               of               the               earlier-mentioned               channels:               Too               many               commercials.

What               could               possibly               be               done               about               that?

Nothing,               probably--mainly               because               they               need               to               make               more               money               than               others               channels               do.

BBC               HD               doesn't               get               the               ratings               that               something               like               HBO               HD               does               where               execs               there               reportedly               bathe               in               cash.
               --ABC,               CBS,               NBC               and               Fox               in               HD               are               obviously               selected               by               default--but               you               really               can't               do               without               the               main               networks               in               your               life               when               watching               digital.

Based               on               my               personal               opinion,               NBC               looks               the               best               in               high-definition               at               the               moment               (particularly               "Saturday               Night               Live"               where               you               can               see               live               videotape),               though               it'll               depend               on               what               you're               watching               at               any               given               time.

You'll               be               glad               to               be               able               to               finally               see               all               their               shows               in               a               full               widescreen               without               having               to               watch               them               in               letterbox               as               you               have               to               now               on               an               analog               TV.
               Seeing               "American               Idol"               in               digital               on               Fox               HD               is               usually               superb...if               maybe               sometimes               disturbing               when               showing               the               judging               triumvirate.
               --CNN               HD               and/or               Fox               News               HD.

Yes,               look               at               these               as               your               Yin               and               Yang               of               news               in               high-definition,               but               you               can't               live               without               both,               no               matter               what               your               political               moniker               is.

These               probably               might               scare               you               at               times               when               having               to               see               news               commentators               such               as               Lou               Dobbs               or               Neil               Cavuto               in               startling               1080p               detail.

But               it               presumably               could               be               a               lot               worse               and               you're               a               real               fly               buzzing               by               and               noticing               previously               unseen               pock               marks               on               news               anchors.
               Most               cable               systems               will               have               CNN               HD--though               Fox               News               HD               has               just               started               at               the               time               of               this               writing,               so               you               won't               be               seeing               it               anywhere               any               time               soon               unless               you               live               in               Texas               (somehow               ironic)               or               New               York               where               Time               Warner               agreed               to               place               it.

Fox               News               may               accuse               the               liberal               media               (or               perhaps               liberal-minded               DirectTV)               for               not               making               their               high-definition               network               diffuse               in               a               matter               of               a               couple               of               weeks.
               --HD               Theater               (through               Discovery)               is               pure               high-definition               bliss               from               the               folks               at               Discovery               Channel               who               use               this               channel               to               broadcast               their               best               and               most               scenic               documentaries.

This               is               where               you're               more               apt               to               see               more               frequent               reruns               of               "Planet               Earth"               along               with               specials               that               are               exclusive               to               this               network.

Don't               miss               those               exclusive               shows               with               the               "HD"               title               attached               such               as               "Destination               HD",               "HD               Getaways"               and               "HD               Traveler."               They               give               you               the               next               best               thing               to               traveling               outside               of               virtual               reality.

And               I               think               we'll               be               seeing               that               technology               before               long               if               we               manage               to               keep               boarding               ourselves               up               in               our               homes               and               expecting               more               from               our               entertainment               centers.
               
               The               channels               that               aren't               HD               yet               and               should               be               soon               before               getting               lost               in               the               dust...
               I've               written               here               before               about               how               concerned               I               am               for               the               high-definition               futures               of               TV               Land               and               Turner               Classic               Movies.

The               channels               that               focus               on               retro               stuff               may               suffer               the               most               in               high-definition               because               of               screen               shape.

Even               so,               TV               Land               and               TCM               are               still               popular               now               in               standard               definition               and               will               likely               go               digital               before               2010.

Considering               they're               the               only               channels               left               in               the               cable               universe               now               that               caters               to               retro               material,               their               demise               in               digital               land               would               put               all               TV               and               movie               history               out               to               pasture,               which               would               make               TV               irrelevant               in               my               view.
               Some               of               those               fledgling               alternative               networks               such               as               ION               and               The               CW               should               also               probably               attempt               to               get               over               to               digital               soon.

They               don't               get               a               lot               of               viewers               because               they're               on               the               UHF               dial               for               over-the-air               viewers,               but               they               have               some               good               things               on               there               once               in               a               while               along               with               reruns               of               old               shows               and               specials               that               you               can't               find               anywhere               else.
               By               the               way,               buckle               down               in               2009               for               the               Oprah               Winfrey               Network               that'll               be               the               latest               new               digital               channel               on               the               dial.

I               see               some               kind               of               Freudian               analysis               in               the               
               fact               that               Oprah's               network               is               the               acronym               of               OWN--but               we'll               assume               it               won't               ever               own               or               usurp               all               of               the               above               excellent               HD               channels...
