American Idol in Hi Def

[FiberOptic]

I could have sworn when I watched American Idol last night it was in HD, however when watching a reply today off my DVR, it was SD.  Is this possible? Usually when I record things in HD they always playback in HD.  Is the sky falling?
:bang:

The wife DVR'd and watched it last night and she told me it was in SD til about the 4th singer. (TWC channel 506)

I had the same experience... the first 45 minutes were SD and the last 1:15 were HD...

Recorded on TIVO OTA.

I wonder if this was a network issue or a local HD issue with Fox 6?  I give Fox 6 slack though - they do the best job (in my opinion) with HD.  They hardly ever forget to "flip the switch".

It was horrible, I DVRed it the other night, and when I went to watch the TV lit on fire.

As soon as I saw that it was SD on FOX 6, I turned to FOX 32 out of Chicago, where the entire show was in HD.  I guess that means that the SD problem was specific to Milwaukee.
