I took in some of this game in the middle of the second quarter. Can't judge fine detail since I have an SDTV, but the colors are impressive. I do see a bit of macroblocking nevertheless, probably because of the low distribution bitrate, plus the two subchannels that are being locally carried.

Audio is very nice; surround speakers are alive as they should be. In addition, the announcers are louder than I remember from the last time I watched a Wendel mix; it's easier to hear them vs. the crowd noise when they're really going. Good job, Wendel.

Watched via OTA/WRC-DT/DC.

As usual, NBC is having a pretty high-quality presentation of the game tonight. Not quite as good as CBS's games earlier in the day, but still some impressive HD content.

Aaron Rodgers: the first Packers quarterback ever to lose to the Dallas Cowboys at Lambeau Field.

I smell an Aaron Rodgers curse!

Well, I certainly can't agree with the "as usual", since NBC has the worst broadcast HD sports of the 4 networks. But tonight actually has looked pretty good here from KARE. Much better than last week. It might be the best live broadcast I've ever seen from NBC. The graphics are solid and I'm not seeing any serious macroblocking.

Normal blocky NBC PQ. Didn't get to use my 5.1 setup tonight since I wasn't at home, but the "surround" mode on the TV still sounded better than the Cards game from Fox on my 5.1 setup at home. KPNX-DT Phoenix via Cox cable.

Sampled the game periodically and was surprised how crisp the images were. Maybe it was partially the contrast from watching the Ryder Cup all afternoon, where bright sun enhances color but also seems to oversaturate and (comparatively) blur lighter objects and overall scenes (CCD camera sensor overload). Many night football shots seemed to match the best images seen on HDNet. Reception, with zero blocking artifacts, from NYC's TWC, with its WNBC-DT head-end fiber feed, to my 1080i 64" CRT RPTV at 8'. -- John

I did not expeience any macroblocking and thought the picture quality was very good.
