HDTV Listings for November 6, 2006
What we're watching: Studio 60 is back on NBC...is it cancelled, not-cancelled? Who knows, but if you like it, watch it, you may not be able to do that for much longer. One show thats not going anywhere is its lead-in Heroes, joined tonight by the Country Music Awards on ABC in 720p and 5.1 surround -- we'll give it a look. The Raiders have gotten a couple of wins to bring them to respectable-loser status, and facing a Seattle team without its starting QB and running back Monday Night Football could get interesting.Our traditional high-def listings continue below.
HDTV Listings for November 5, 2006
What we're watching: The Colts face the Patriots on Sunday Night Football and since it's a regular season game, the Colts actually have a chance to win. There's also MLS action on HDNet, and Wall Street Warriors on INHD and of course Dexter and Weeds on Showtime.Our traditional high-def listings continue below.
HDTV Listings for November 4, 2006
What we're watching: Sports fans have college football, NHL, and NBA action to choose from tonight, Roseanne Barr is on HBO in her first comedy special in 10 years and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is on Cinemax...but we won't be watching any of it. Tonight is the premiere of HDNet's coverage of CEDIA 2006. We brought plenty of pictures and descriptions of the show but now you can watch all that HD equipment...in HD, you might even catch a glimpse of our own Matt Burns on the premises.Our traditional high-def listings continue below.
HDTV Listings for November 3, 2006

HDTV Listings for November 2, 2006
What we're watching: Nice to have our usual complement of new programming back now that the World Series is over. Also returning tonight is The O.C. with its season premiere...c'mon now you know you watch. In other Fox-related news, it appears we missed the premiere of The Rich List game show last night, but the site indicates it was in 720p, unlike most SD game shows (but not Jeopardy). Two good Western conference NBA games on TNT make us lad basketball is back. Finally, tonight are the words many college football fans never expected to hear: Thursday night Big East matchup with National Championship Game implications. West Virginia vs. Louisville is one of the biggest games this season, we'll be watching. Our traditional high definition listings continue below.
HDTV Listings for November 1, 2006
What we're watching: NBA action continues, after the NBA champs got blown out last night King James steps up as the Cavaliers face the Wizards and the Suns return to take on the Clippers. Sure there's Lost, CSI: NY, Jericho and the surprisingly funny 30 Rock, but we just can't get enough basketball on ESPN-HD. Still, take a look at Twenty Good Years tonight, because it might be your next-to-last chance.Our traditional high-def listings continue below.
HDTV Listings for October 31, 2006
What we're watching: Sure Dancing with the Stars, NCIS, Standoff and Gilmore Girls are all on tonight, but we know what we're watching. The NBA regular season is back, with a doubleheader of Heat vs. Bulls and Lakers vs. Suns. Sure it's not an all-skycam broadcast but Shaq, the real Big Ben, D-Wade, the reigning two-time MVP Steve Nash and (maybe) Kobe in 1080i? We're there, new ball and all.Our traditional high-def listings continue below.
Magnolia Pictures' The Architect to hit theaters and discs December 5
Mark Cuban has been pushing for day-and-date releases and giving customers choices on how they want to experience content; for those who decide to check out The Architect when it's released they will certainly have plenty of choices. With a day-and-date theatrical, cable, DVD, HD DVD and Blu-ray release you can check it out on any format you want -- no BitTorrent Mark? -- but it remains to be seen if this type of release will spread to other studios. The Architect is a film about a mother who is trying to get the housing project where she lives torn down and rebuilt, and brings the original architect to see what has become of it. No word on any HD extras, the DVD has an MSRP of $28.98 while the high definition versions are set for $34.98[Via MovieWeb]
HDTV Listings for October 30, 2006
What we're watching: Friday Night Lights has swapped places with Studio 60 on Monday nights, so we'll see how that works out for NBC. Monday Night Football should be a good matchup as the Patriots visit the Vikings or there's always The 40-Year-Old Virgin on Cinemax.Our traditional high-def listings continue below.
HDTV Listings for October 29, 2006
What we're watching: Baseball playoffs and Discovery HD Atlas are both done, although you can catch a re-run of the last episode of Atlas featuring Australia on Discovery HD Theater today. The Tony Romo era begins tonight as the Cowboys take on the Carolina Panthers on Sunday Night Football...it should be interesting to say the least. There's also college football on ESPN and MLS on HDNet, but we'll probably just check out The People Under the Stairs on Universal HD.Our traditional high-def listings continue below.
HDTV Listings for October 28, 2006
What we're watching: There's an excellent college football matchup on tonight between Tennessee and South Carolina on ESPN-HD, but many will probably take a break and catch Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on ABC tonight. Kidnapped continues its lame-duck run on NBC while HDNet sees fit to bring us Deliverance.Our traditional high-def listings continue below.
HDTV Listings for October 27, 2006
What we're watching: The World Series could be all wrapped up tonight, as the Tigers and Cardinals play Game 5 in St. Louis. Surprisingly, we've got not one but two HD season premieres tonight. Las Vegas on NBC finally returns, and on Showtime Masters of Horror kicks off its second season.Our traditional high definition listings continue below.
HDTV Listings for October 26, 2006
What we're watching: The bad side of the World Series, is all the other networks defer with reruns and b-quality programming, so if you don't like baseball or the game is cancelled due to rain, there's not much on. The CW has our back tonight with new high definition episodes of Smallville and Supernatural.Our traditional high definition listings continue below.
HDTV Listings for October 25, 2006
What we're watching: The World Series continues on Fox, as the St. Louis Cardinals try to take a 3-1 lead over the Detroit Tigers. The theme for tonight's Lost is "every man for himself", which hopefully means "the HDTV boxed set doesn't cost $200", but that's just wishful thinking. NBA preseason action is on TNT as the Rockets face the Heat, but we'll probably check out Just Friends on HBO.Our traditional high-def listings continue below.
HDTV Listings for October 24, 2006
What we're watching: World Series Game 3 is at hand, and luckily we've got our HDTVs tuned in to see any "foreign substances" that may-or-may-not be intentionally placed on a pitcher's hand. Otherwise, not much tonight, new episodes of Dancing with the Stars, Help Me Help You and Friday Night Lights plus the return of HBO's Emmy-award winning Elizabeth I.Our traditional high-def listings continue below.
HDTV Listings for October 23, 2006
What we're watching: The World Series takes a break as things change scene to St. Louis, and programming goes back to normal for one night.

Otherwise, if the Heroes marathon last night piqued your appetite, it's back with a brand new episode.Our traditional high-def listings continue below.
HDTV Listings for October 22, 2006
What we're watching: If you're not watching Discovery HD Atlas...you should be. Australia is featured this week and should be excellent. The World Series continues on Fox, while Sunday Night Football takes the night off, but a min-marathon of Heroes takes its place. If you're looking for Runaway on The CW...don't, it's been cancelled. Finally, don't forget tonight is the premiere of Wall Street Warriors on INHD's Mojo lineup.Our traditional high-def listings continue below.
HDTV Listings for October 21, 2006
What we're watching: The World Series is on, and most other regularly scheduled network programming is taking the night off as a result. While Fox features the Tigers vs. Cardinals, ABC is airing Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets while CBS has The Bourne Identity. Georgia Tech vs. Clemson should be a good matchup on ESPN-HD, or you can just chill out and catch Sunrise Earth: Total Eclipse on Discovery HD Theater.Our traditional high-def listings continue below.
HDTV Listings for October 20, 2006
What we're watching: No baseball tonight, but Baseball Tonight is airing its Best of Web Gem Awards for this year on ESPN2-HD. The usual list of shows is on, but we'll probably take a look at Women's Roller Derby on HDNet.Our traditional high definition listings continue below.
