TNT Christmas HD, NOT

----- HDTV Magazine Tips List -----

Yes, we use Tribune. But they just regurgitate what the station/network
tells them. We've tried from several angles to get this corrected (both
from within Tribune and from within TNT), but TNT simply doesn't listen,
or doesn't care. We've considered several times just de-listing them
entirely, but that is always met with member complaint.
