DVR Chatter

The information in iGuide is limited by what information they get. If USA doesn't tell TVGuide what programs are HD or not, there is no way for them to know.

Is there any way for the Motorola Box to indicate that you are viewing an HD broadcast ?

Not the box itself, but the guide says so.  If you press info on an HD program the guide will say HD under the time.

Doesn't the box say it for every program on every HD channel whether the program itself is in HD or not?

I don't think so.

That's exactly my point. I know that.  BUT..on USA-HD, looking at the guide it NEVER shows a program as HD on that channel.

Yep, you're right.  Actually, USA-HD has so little that is actually HD that it is probably an oversight from USA itself.  The Law and Order: SVU that is on tonight at 9:00 is the only HD program they have, that I'm aware of and the guide doesn't show it that way.  Remember that the guide is only as good as what information it receives.

I wonder why USA even bothered to add an HD channel, and even more why Comcast is adding it, instead of some channels with real HD content, in some areas such as here in Seattle.  Must be a package deal.
