FOX 41 finally goes HD!
I had all but given up on our local FOX affiliate (WDRB) ever making the switch to high definition. However, it appears that they stopped broadcasting off of their analog coat hanger and made the switch to HD over the weekend.
Because the quality of their previous attempt at a digital signal was so bad, I had stopped watching the FOX OTA signal and watched only the SD FOX channel on my DirecTiVo. However, last night, I hit the wrong button on my HD receiver's remote and was startled by the beautiful (although slightly compressed) HD signal from the Yankees - Red Sox game.
In addition to sports programming, the two FOX shows that I watch ("Arrested Development" and "24") will be broadcast in HD. See the complete list here.
With the addition of FOX, DirecTV customers in Louisvile now have access to over 13 HD channels (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, PBS, HBO, Showtime, Bravo, ESPN, HDNet, HDNet Movies, HD PPV, Discovery HD Theater), not to mention the 6 or 7 HD games each week for NFL Sunday Ticket subscribers.
