I just saw the Sixteen Candles broadcast. Looked OK, but was riddled with debris.

Unfortunately for some reason HDnet simply doesn't get any movies from Fox or Disney. I'll I ever see on their are Sony, WB, Universal, older MGM and Paramount stuff, along with smaller studio stuff.

Also I saw that tomorrow they are showing Hildago (which is Touchtone/Disney) so it may just depend on the movie I guess. Thanks for letting me know about the HD channels. It's good info to know.

It was a miracle all 6 Star Wars movies were shown OAR in HD. I'm hanging onto to those HD recordings like grim death, although they have some bad blocking in spots due to bandwidth.
