"Motor Week" is available in HD but the HD version is not available to CET until Saturday @ 4:30PM. The standard definition version of the program is fed to CET on Friday Afternoons. Since we air "Motor Week" each Saturday at 8:30 AM we would have to record the HD version and then play it back the following Saturday morning. This would result in a one week delay for each of the programs in the series. The national listings etc. would be wrong. In February 2009, most of these anomalies should go away. Thanks for your comment. Steve,

This morning I saw Motor week which is available in HD on other PBS stations shown with "barn door" black bars on all 4 sides of the picture. The signal was sent out 4:3 and then letterboxed.
