Well, I got the HD box from TW, it the Scientific Atlanta 3100HD box. The channels I can get in HD are mainly the Premimum channels, HBO and Showtime each have a few and one PBS channel. the other local channels will only be in HD if that show is broadcasted in HD, according to TW. its only been one day so I cant really say if that is correct.

I am using a Hitachi 53" Wide Screen TV and one thing I was warned about was the possible screen burn-in. When in the HD mode and the channel is not HD you will get black lines on the side edges of the screen which can cause problems, while in the HD mode you cant adjust the screen (stretch,full and fill)
as you can when in regular signal inputs. So when watching a show thats not HD I just change it to regular input..

Is there any Projection TV experts that might know if this can cause problems???????

It a good thing that this new box was free of charge!!!!!

In closing about the only way to take advantage of this new box (now anyway), is to upgrade the Dig Cable package to add the premimum channels..

(shit,,, I'm signed up with netflix and get DVDs all the time anyway)
