WIFR-DT Rockford, IL: HD encoder is down for the count, repairs were wanting to be completed by today, but alas, they are not...so as I flipped by, I saw a low-res upconvert. Hopefully, they'll be back up soon.

CBS is very consistent. Looks and sounds great.

I went to school with Deb Gelman (noon producer).
Glad to see one of us made big it in TV....:D

WISC-DT 3.1 Madison WI is the worst looking CBS affiliate ever I would love to produce a screen shot but I cannot. macroblocking hell with 1 subchannel (mytv). The CBS graphics actually blur during fast motion and then the sharpness comes back when the camera is still.
