Hbo = Wtf? - Blu-ray Forum

DrinkMore · 04-25-2007, 08:26 PM

Ok. I love HBO and I own about 75% of the shows on DVD. However, I was really excited to see that HBO supported HD-DVD (when I was an HD-DVD supporter).

Long story short, I was in BB today and what do my wondering eyes see? Sopranos on HD-DVD. A ver nice boxed set! Then hold on to your butts - something catches my EYE! I see Sopranos on Blue Ray - blingy bright silver and blue box set. Mmmm.. my favorite color.

Anyways - WTF? I clearly saw HBO as a BACKER for HD-DVD on the website www.thelookandsoundofperfect.com - in the intro movie there.

What gives? I DO NOT see HBO listed as a backer for Blue Ray. I don't care, but it's cool to see them come over to Blue Ray. I am just confused!

There are many other unonnounced supporters of BD, you just have to keep your eyes and ears open to see what comes out on BD

But only Dolby 2.0 if you don't have a receiver that can handle LPCM. This is the only reason I own it on HD-DVD.

LPCM can be heard in multichanneel from players that have analog outs and the corresponding receivers.
