This might belong in the Shaw forum.

Were the Emmys broadcast in HD last night? I helped a family friend buy & set up a new HDTV over the weekend, and they were quite disappointed to find the Emmys were only on CTV in SD. What gives?!

Emmys were in HD on NBC.

I didn't watch the CTV feed.

Not on Shaw they weren't.

Strange, I stumbled upon them last night and they were in HD on NBC in Cogecoland.

Must have been a Shaw issue.

Shaw may be receiving different channels for CTV/NBC from those who were posting in E. Canada. It's unlikely to be a Shaw issue since they usually just "pass" the signal, so perhaps CTV/NBC west were having an issue...

It was HD on NBC here in Calgary Shaw.

 

[cooper83]

It wasn't even listed in the guide for either NBC or CTV HD channels. We thought it was broadcast on a different night until we checked the SD channels.

Also note that even if you're tuned to an NBC channel, you may be seeing the CTV feed if the programme is simsubbed. So if there was something wrong with CTV Vancouver's feed say, even if you tuned to NBC, you may be seeing the CTV feed problem. Usually you can tell by the station logo.

When this happens, you need to call the service provider and they could switch to the (real) NBC feed...

Was it listed as such in the guide?

 

[smegger2000]

It was in my Shaw guide on both the NBC and CTV HD channels here in Saskatoon.

Bell had it in HD on early and late feeds in Eastern Ontario.

The Emmys were in HD on Bell. I watched the CTV Vancouver HD feed...no problems whatsoever.

Sounds like this might be specific to Shaw Victoria then. Thanks for the responses.

Annoying as heck when you're trying to teach new people about HD programming and it doesn't even work properly.

 

[TechieFreak]

CTV Vancouver was broadcasting it in HD, at least OTA (Over The Air).

 

[CHrisCHu]

CTV Vancouver had it in HD both OTA and with Shaw, both early and late feeds. NBC on Shaw was simsubbed with CTV HD feed.

I was able to watch them in HD on WDIV the Detroit NBC affiliate
with no simsub with Shaw

But what is your location? Are you in Victoria?
