HD Net is very good.

PatrickL2009 · 04-14-2009, 10:03 PM

SpikeHD usually looks commendable.

crackinhedz · 04-14-2009, 10:04 PM

Discovery and HD NET always look the best to me.

I has to disagree, most of their program it still sd.

crackinhedz · 04-14-2009, 10:05 PM

also depends on whether or not the program is being presented in HD.

Usuaully on HD Net and Discovery they are.

FoodNetwork also looks great (wife channel), but not everything is in HD.

Most of Spike is still in SD? I watch little to no television, and usually settle with movies, but every time I have turned on Spike, it has looked quite good. Oh well. HD channels suck compared to Blu anyway.

Those premium movie channel like hbo, starz are always hd and no ads too bad it still offer stereo sound, but i had onyko thx receiver that convert them to 7.1 with thx sorround sound.

+1000. Those two are consistently very good. Universal HD and HDnet Movies are good as well.

Siri · 04-14-2009, 11:37 PM

Universal HD & Discovery HD and National Geographic has an HD channel I think

mugupo · 04-15-2009, 05:14 PM

Palladia has the best sound for cable i think, i can them in 7.1 sound using thx sorround ex, pq is good too.

igotcabada · 04-15-2009, 05:26 PM

Palladia is definitely the best IMO, followed by HDNet

DiscoveryHD just doesn't look that good in my opinion, not sure what it is.

Cisco in HD · 04-15-2009, 06:53 PM

HBO HD is tops on my list. They've been HD since BoB came out on HBO.

Fors* · 04-15-2009, 07:01 PM

HD Net, and I think the Food Network can have some remarkable clarity and PQ depending on the program.

Phil Taylor · 04-15-2009, 08:48 PM

I'm impressed with Palladia - very good PQ on stuff originally shot in HD.

Kryptron · 04-15-2009, 09:06 PM

HDnet and Discovery HD Theater.

StimpsonJCat · 04-15-2009, 09:25 PM

All the HD channels look good. I do like having HBO & Showtime for their shows which look great in HD. I have FIOS and they have a lot of HD for their On Demand which was really lacking when I had cable. It looks great as well.

Pondosinatra · 04-15-2009, 09:31 PM

There is really only one (on cable) - it looks amazing and all it's shows are in HD - sadly it's PBS
