Survivor: Fiji starts February 8th… Get your Season Pass now.
No matter what other reality shows come and go, the only one that I really still care about is Survivor. The challenges, personalities, cinematography and nature footage make it continually compelling for me. I remember the first season (in Summer of 2000) was promoted via our old TiVo TV show, TiVo Takes, and when we were in the midst of a huge project to migrate our financial system in August, 2000, the whole team took time out during a data load one evening to watch one of the episodes. It was a bit mystifying to some, but was compelling and is still mostly compelling now.
The new season is set in Fiji and starts on Thursday, February 8th.
Because they change the title every season, any old Season Pass you might have set up won’t work for this season. (Some day we are going to fix that…). So, set up your Season Pass for Survivor using TiVo Central Online now, while you’re thinking about it.

Is Survivor in HD yet? I’m an HD convert, and I’ll have to say, all the beautiful cinematography and locations are really lost in the SD broadcast. The stuff would look awesome in HD, and CBS has actually been pretty good about pushing HD, but I’m sure its difficult for situations like Survivor. (Even a nice 16:9 480p would make a huge difference!)

Personally I don’t care yet (still SD at home until my existing TV breaks), but I did read that it was supposed to be in HD this season. Looks like something went wrong, though — Engadget is reporting it’s not in HD this season either.
Sorry, slacy. I agree with you it would look amazing in HD.
I imagine the advances in miniaturizing HD cameras are getting closer to making it practical for them. Wonder why the hold up.
