The picture coming from there does not seem to have the clarity that the other locations have.

There have only been two episodes so far, so if you haven't watched it yet, you haven't missed too much, and you can catch the first two episodes online.

I've really liked the show so far. The main character, Matthew Bomer is excellent and really like the premise of the show. It's about an expert con artist working with the police to solve crimes. New episodes air on Fridays. ]]> High Definition Programming and Shows UltimoRobo http://www.highdefforum.com/high-definition-programming-shows/103290-white-collar-usa.html Those with HD receivers and NHL Center Ice Package http://www.highdefforum.com/high-definition-programming-shows/102930-those-hd-receivers-nhl-center-ice-package.html Wed, 28 Oct 2009 00:43:49 GMT For those with DirecTV....
I have noticed that the HD feeds for the Center Ice package have been “grayed” out in the guide view.
I still get the HD feed so this isn’t a big issue. I just want to see if others see the same thing.
When I set my DVR to record a HD game on Wednesday, I get a “This program may not record because this receiver is not currently authorized for it” message.

This is a new issue (past week or so).

Nielsen's raw audience count has been superseded by desirable demographics (18-49 is the biggie) in measuring the succes of TV shows. However, both are merely factors in the measurement that really counts--the cost of a 30-second commercial.

Advertising Age has released its annual survey of the cost of a typical commercial. The big winner? Sunday night football averaging approximately $340,000 per 30-second spot.

Among scripted shows, Grey's Anatomy is No. 1 at about $240,000. Desperate Housewives and Two and a Half Men are just behind at $229K and $227K, respectively. (All prices are rounded off to the nearest thousand.)

The cheapies? The CW's Supernatural and Smallville, each of which command about $33K.

Jay Leno's new 10 p.m. program on NBC has the the least expensive week night prime time commercials, excluding the CW, ranging from $66,000 on Tuesday to $49,000 on Friday.

Friday is a low rent zone across the dial, the only night without a single show commanding six figures. Numb3rs is tops at $85,000.

The pecking order will change, according to Advertising Age, when American Idol returns in January. Spots in TV's most popular program range from $360K-$490K, depending on how close to the end they are spotted.

Keep in mind, there is no set price. Heavy buyers get discounts, as do those who buy well in advance.
