Thursday Night Football on NFL Network HD
Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers

1080i & DD2.0

Bob Papa and Cris Collinsworth will have the call.

Game will be seen on WPCW in Pittsburgh and WLWT in Cincinnati in addition to NFL Network.

Please include your source in your posts (Cable, Sat, OTA simulcast in home markets) and your location.

Sorry for the late start to the thread.

This is the "big hair" bowl. Nice picture/sound on D*.

s'ok, i was waiting patiently... ;)

pq... nice... only real "bad" thing is the oranges are a bit noisy on longer shots, and some pixelation on the graphics when they cut in from a replay... nice color other than that... closeups really sharp... lack of constant graphics eating up the screen is something other nets could learn from...

aq... oh well... as said before, thank goodness for dplii processing... and fwiw, i like papa and collingsworth, they work well together...

fios, south jersey...

I think NFL Net is better this year. Announce team is better and it sounds good tonight

Watching this on OTA here in Cinci...WOW!!! This actually one of the best looking games I have seen this year!!! Audio is center channel heavy...Nothing to write home about like the picture is...

unfortunatley they are still stereo only.

5.1 here...One nice thing is the sub is alive when they have the music going when coming in and going out to break... :D

Go Steelers

PQ is just ok. The main game cameras seem a bit grainy and I'm seeing some blocking with movement. Quite a few long close ups out of focus, trying to hunt for focus while on air.

I know this doesn't count, but since my cable provider does not carry NFL Net, I'm watching the game on NFL.com. It's better than nothing.

Either your provider or your receiver is making it appear to be 5.1 because the source is not.



As for PQ, I don't think it is that great. Seeing blocking too. Average. Via E*.

Comcast Essex county cable system:
Very good PQ. I came in around a little bit before the end of the first half. Great pq too me. Sound was decent also. My reciever was showing surround also but I really didn't pay attention to what I was getting.

Was the game aired locally in Pittsburgh. I have friends that lives there and they said they couldn't find the station broadcasting it. They don't have NFL Network.

Yes it was on WPCW, as the first post says.

IIRC, WPCW has no OTA digital broadcast, so if your friends are not using Comcast or FiOS, they would have been stuck with the analog broadcast.

Annoying green line on right-hand edge of screen when TV set for no over-scan.

Come on folks, all the pixels are meant to be seen. This is 2008 -- not 1948.

DOH!!! Violated my first rule of forum usage. READ THE PRIOR POSTS!!!
