If Discovery Channel HD spent so much on their broadcast equipment and is so foward thinking then why do they not allow programing that originated on film? As most documentaries are. A digital-only origination policy is completely absurd and entirely short-sighted. InHD and HDnet allow such material and have shown a lot of it. No artifacts or compression issues there. But Discovery seems to think that excuses and hype will overshadow their technlogyical ineptitude.

I have an HDTV as well and I remember when we first got it I was much like you in that I was always looking for just HDTV content. It's so much nicer to look at. Personally, my favorite shows, Monster Garage, Smallville, West Wing and The Office are all in HD so I'm happy. :)

Discovery HD is the most beautiful thing on TV. It is so good that, when I watch TV, I check to see what is on Discovery first. Glad your enjoying your HD, the novelty does wear off after a bit, but I still tune into discovery everytime I hit that power button.
