I'm in the same boat as Chris; I don't know why (and TimeWarner and my local NBC affiliate are REALLY sick of hearing from me about it by now, because THEY obviously don't know why, either), but I don't get NBC on my hi-def DVR. I don't get NBC, and I don't get CW, which is carried on the same broadcast tower here (KXAN owns both franchises locally). So no Chuck in HD for me, no Supernatural in HD, no Office, Community, etc.
Oddly enough, though, my TW on-demand DOES have the shows a few days after they air, and they're in HD.
And when I say I don't get NBC or CW in HD, I mean *I* don't get them. I pay for them; they're offered; elsewhere in town, lots of other people are watching without problems, it would seem. But on my box, they just won't come in. At best, they're pixelated and garbled; at worst, I just get a grey screen. TW can't figure it out. My contract with them is up in a couple weeks, by the way. I wonder what I'll do... ;)
S'wenyways, I'm always a couple days behind on my NBC shows. Truth be told, I'm usually at least a day behind on EVERY show I watch. The DVR has taken over; I no longer have the patience for live TV. I must zap the commercials and break when *I* want to break!
Yes, it's a sickness. I'm thinking of AT&T's U-verse. HD DVR and FOUR programs recording at once! Oh, my...
