Re: Mixing SD and HD

I've only noticed this on my cable company basing it on two signals. 720p for standard HD signals and 1080i for enriched HD signals.
Mainly you will only be able to know it's broadcasting HD if you have a widescreen monitor or have the window set to 16:9 ratio and the black bars disappear.
As far as I know that's how it is. 1080i for enriched channels needing a hardware tuner when I tried to watch it.

Sadly only FOX, UPN and ABC are the standard signals here and NBC,CBS,CW do HD signals.
