Has PBS stopped broadcasting HiDef programming? I haven't seen anything in high def during primetime in weeks.
According to titanTV 10-1 always has HD shows but I don't see any. What gives?

I think what Titan is showing is what they feed to TWC for the PBS HD channel.

I have noticed it too.  It's our local PBS which is the problem.  They used to show it, now they don't.  Strange.  They also skip the standard definition widescreen shows.

PBS had Tracks Ahead and Great Lakes Gardener on last night in HD which it looked good if your into trains or flower planters.  I, however, am not and was looking for the HD Showcase.

I'm not sure what you guys have been looking at.  Starting December 1 they have been airing Tracks Ahead everyday at 4pm and Rudy Maxa Smart travels at 6:30pm.  Plus they are going to air MPTV Showcases ever Tuesday and Thursday. They are airing Outdoor Wisconsin Every Thursday at 8pm.  They will usually air some PBS HD loop after Outdoor before the MPTV showcase at 9pm.

I admit, I haven't tried watching Tracks Ahead or Rudy Maxa.  In the past they did Outdoor Wisconsin in HD on 10.1, but recently it has not been there, just delayed by 3 hours regular definition.  Also missing have been the HD Showcases and other PBS Widescreen standard definition shows.  A while back the HD used to be on according to their website's schedule.  A little while ago it all stopped, and since then I don't even bother checking.  Maybe it's back by now.

Starving (But not hungry enough to watch Tracks Ahead)

I just saw two HD programs early this morning - one on New Jersey and one on South Carolina. Not sure why these weren't listed in the schedules??
