Was Conan in Hi-Def Last night? 11/9

The picture didn't fill up my 16:9 HD tv screen like normal and I'm pretty sure it wasn't a Pre-HiDef repeat so what gives?

The guests: Jennfer Aniston, Fi-tee Sence, and others.

Your local affiliate fell asleep and forgot to flip the HD switch (they had to toggle between the HD progam material, and the SD commercials).

Aniston and 50 Cent were both on Letterman on Monday. Now they're on Conan Tuesday? Interesting.

I think you're right. On Channel 2 here in LA last night Lettermen's Monologue was in 4:3 so I swtich to Leno who was in HD. Then I switched back to Letterman and he was at the desk in HD.

I won't start a new thread to ask this question:

Anyone know why Conan was a rerun last night?

Sarah silverman was supposed to be on, but a repeat with Will ferrell was on instead.

I have idea. However, isn't Conan's wife due to give birth like any day now?

My local ABC affiliate didn't run Boston Legal in HD on Tuesday because they were running election coverage along the bottom of the screen. Maybe this was the case with your station during Conan?

HD related- I have 3 HD PBS channels that NEVER show anything in HD no matter what the program.

National PBS has doubled the amount it charges each of the affiliates to broadcast those HD programs. I'm sure most of the affiliates (unless it's a NY or LA or something) can't afford that and may look into doing some sort of HD programming of their own.

Yeah, my local PBS has at least 3 shows in HD and even does their fundraisers in HD. Boring, yes, but at least they're doing something in HD.

Conan's wife had a baby yesterday that's why there was a repeat on.

They picked a great rerun to air, with the May sweeps "hunky newcomer" guy, the bird watchers, and Will Ferrell.

Here in So Cal KDOC, a PBS affiliate, shows HD 24/7. They're apparently testing so it's often the same shows shown over again for a few days. But to be honest, the shows they pick look AWESOME in HD.

BTW, CONGRATS CONAN!!!!
