Yes, its unwatchable, but the episode MeTV has on now is not like any other episode Ive seen, to the best of my knowledge.
Usually, the episodes are in a fuzzy 480 resolution, in a 4 to 3 format. The one on now is in 720p resolution, in a 16 to 9 format. The picture is noticeably better than before.

(60,654 posts)For me, and I think for just about everybody, MeTV is an over-the-air operation. Im watching on a Sony flatscreen, and when I hit the display option on the remote, I get the details of the display.
My local channels:

Channel 48 for is subchannels 1 through 4 and the 48.12. I can check to see how much ERP is allocated to each subchannel. That would be a limiting factor in each subchannels resolution.
Per Wikipedia, WDME is a low-power operation. Subchannel 1 is the only channel broadcast in 720p.

(4,933 posts)When my ex and I had Dish, that would pull in the over-the-air version, but not with Spectrum. Seemed the definition wasn't high then, either. They actually offer a few versions of MeTV, each showing different programming, but none in the higher definition. Dammit, I want to see the pores on Colonel Klink's face
