It has the swimming grass phenomenon, as seen on FOX. First time I've seen that on BTN HD.

Second game on 609 came up about 10 mins ago
swimming grass was terrible on BTN today, highlights on ESPN-HD comfirmed it. ALT game looked fine on E*

That grass was swimming in the rain. :D But seriously, on Comcast it was such a distraction that the game was not watchable. Why I need "HD" like this is a mystery. I would rather have 10 channels of real, uncompressed, full bandwidth HD than 50 channels of swimming slop.
This battle for who has the most unwatchable HD has a clear winner, Comcast's BTN.
