Yeah I'm HD finally
Ok, so I finally got a hd-directivo, directv hd programming (only w/ showtime as a premium) and OTA channels set up.
Now - I gotta get me some good HD shows to record
Is there a good site that tracks HD programming?
So far I'm set up w/ HD seasonpasses for Alias and 24 - very excited about it!
As a side note - MAN IS THAT HD TIVO SLOOOOOOW ..

Since you are recording Alias, you may as well record the entire ABC lineup for that night: Lost, Alias, and Eyes.

I would suggest the following:
Monday
Las Vegas - NBC - 9 PM
CSI: Miami - CBS - 10 PM
You already mentioned 24
(Tonight only) NCAA Championship Game - ABC - 9 PM
Tuesday
House - FOX - 9 PM
Blind Justice - ABC - 10 PM
Wednesday
Alias - ABC - 9 PM
Lost (not a fan, but it's supposed to be good) - ABC - 8 PM
Eyes - ABC - 10 PM (watched some of the pilot last week, looked good)
CSI: NY - CBS - 10 PM
Thursday
Joey - NBC - 8 PM
Tru Calling - FOX - 9 PM
CSI - CBS - 9 PM
Friday
Numb3rs - CBS - 10 PM
Sunday
Desperate Housewives - ABC - 9 PM
Grey's Anatomy - ABC - 10 PM
These are just the shows I tape on a weekly basis...there are others, but they're not in HD.
You've made the next step...now enjoy watching TV as it should be seen!

No HBO HD? I know when I finally splurge on all the necessary HD things I will be most excited about their shows.

WATCH THE GAME TONIGHT!!
Even though I have no interest in College Basketball, NCAA Finals are the highlight of the HDTV season.
Red Dog...Masters...the SD cameras are really going to piss you off during the masters.

You can search for "HDTV" in the Audio/Visual search.
I use that all the time to see if there's any HD shows I might not know are coming up.
If you get PBS-HD, set a SP for Rudy Maxa's Smart Travels. Great visuals.

I'm on DirecTV and can't get OTA, so I only had Fox (NY) network, but I just got my waiver for CBS in NY.
I then realized, I only watch one show on CBS.
But, the NCAA final should look good tonight! I'll turn that on after 24.
At any rate, I recommend the Discovery HD theater. I've been watching a crapload of that.
BTW, are you using the HDMI out? How is that working? I had to return the first one because of that already. Now, the optical audio on #2, keeps popping in and out, and I think the hard drive is periodically freezing up.

Yeah, CSI Miami is pretty damn good. 24 is also fantastic. The DD 5.1 makes it that much better in that show because of all the weapons fire.

Nah - last week's Joey was broadcast (in Charlotte anyway) in SD. Which was actually good, 'cos some of the audio mixes on the past few eps have been *terrible*. Although I too missed seeing Drea DeMatteo in HD.
