China Rises on CBC HD
Posted: Tue Jan 24, 2006 12:48 pm
Last evening I watched Parts 1 & 2 of "China Rises" which I had recorded on my HD PVR. A fascinating 4 hour series on China as it prepares for the 2008 Olympic Games. It combines the documentary talents of the CBC, the New York Times and other broadcast partners. I believe the series should win some awards, it is of that quality.
The HD PQ is excellent ... including some beautiful scenic shots; gorgeous colors. Although in a few fast moving sequences I did notice some pixelation ... but it was a minor flaw. The DD5.1 sound is also of high quality ... and yes they do make use of all channels.
Parts 3 & 4 air on Sunday, January 29th 8 & 9pm EST. I highly recommend that you check it out! Available on Bell Express Vu 802, Star Choice 292, Shaw Cable 309.
