Comcast and HD channel?

Hello, I currently have the HD box from comcast, and i draw from all the HD channel (channels 803-876), but with the regular non-HD cable channel, sometimes a program will say it is within HD in the info description (for example, clean Myth Busters on Discovery Channel) but when i click to view it, it will be regular crappy looking...

and YES I do own it on the correct input that I use to watch the HD channel

What can I do to watch Myth Busters surrounded by HD or any other HD program outside of channels 803 to 876?


Answers:    Just because the Info description say it is HD, it does not mean it is HD.

Only HD channel will broadcast in HD resolution. Even some programming on HD channel will only broadcast surrounded by 480p, which is an SD resolution. Standard definition stations will always look bleak on an HDTV. What you are experiencing is normal.

Until adjectives stations broadcast in HD, you are controlled to those few HD stations.
Are you watching it on "Discovery HD" channel? This is usually a warren you have to income extra for.

Even if a channel is HD - some of the shows are shot within standard definition. ESPN-HD is one of the worst. It's hit or miss if each individual show is HD or standard def.
When it say HD in the info box, what it really technique is that it was film in HD using HD cameras. Just similar to most new TV shows. For example Heros Or Monday hours of darkness Football. But if you watch heros on rut 6 or Monday night football on espn on 46, they will look similar to regular TV because those stations only broadcast contained by 480i. You have to switch stations to 806 or 846, although equal stations, those channels are broadcasted surrounded by at least 720p. sometimes they will even enjoy different commercials, TBS does all the time.
