Fox Widescreen?!?! Ugh, makes me glad I have a standard TV...

4:3 FTW...for now

I'm going to stick for HDNet for the actual speech. They don't have all of those ridiculous graphics all of the bottom of the screen....

lol now the local cbs hd feed is ahead of the local cbs analog station

TonyW79SFV · 01-23-07, 09:16 PM

Looks like NBC is having a field order problem.

Ron_M · 01-23-07, 09:17 PM

HDNet has by far the best pq in my opinion.

FOX News isn't set up for HD yet. The network and news divisions are fed from opposite coasts.

Yeah, you can definitely see it in the president's white shirt. It gives me a headache. :|

jdspencer · 01-23-07, 09:17 PM

I'm sticking with HDNet because the CBS banner is downright huge.

drinklime · 01-23-07, 09:17 PM

Oh my god Nancy stop blinking

CJPC · 01-23-07, 09:18 PM

Wow, someone really screwed up.

CBS (WBZ) -> Decent picture, 4:3 stretched graphic makes me want to puke
ABC (WCVB) -> Decent picture, green tint to everyone
NBC (WHDH) -> Someone forgot to filp the switch to HD (idiots!)
FOX (WFXT) -> 480 WS = Horrible
HDNET -> If only it wasnt over the satellite, ABC OTA still looks better!

Inundated · 01-23-07, 09:18 PM

HDNet closely followed by ABC on my 720p 32" LCD...NBC looks a little off, CBS is probably as good as HDNet, but the graphics mean I am not watching them.

bdraw · 01-23-07, 09:21 PM

The graphics do ruin CBS which otherwise has a great picture.
HDNet's audio sounds better, but it is so much louder it is hard to really judge.

Some of the side shots look better then George W.

Kib · 01-23-07, 09:22 PM

Fort Wayne - OTA

CBS (WANE) - Best of the bunch
ABC (WPTA) - Pretty close to CBS
NBC (WISE) - WTF????

[Edit: Did Chaney just pop a Nitroglycerine tab???]

silverbullet89 · 01-23-07, 09:22 PM

My NBC station just switched to SD from HD(KRNV-DT Reno via Charter). I'm switching to HD Net.

Nice... wish I had a media PC to do nice screen captures.

You can definitely see that something is not right with NBC.

norymeoreason41 · 01-23-07, 09:22 PM

on my 720p lcd using cox in Gainesville, FL, our only hd options for this are abc and cbs. by the way, abc is far superior here.

icemannyr · 01-23-07, 09:23 PM

And the award for biggest lower third graphic goes to CBS-HD

Of the broadcast networks I like ABC's graphic package the best.

JCL · 01-23-07, 09:25 PM

HDNet is running about 13 seconds behind.

More like two/second. Maybe she's sending a message in code.

SonyWS520Guy · 01-23-07, 09:26 PM

FOX (if anybody is actually watching their crap feed) is a second or two behind also.

silverbullet89 · 01-23-07, 09:26 PM

I guess the loss of NBC-HD is a network thing. Too bad-it looked good at the beginning and the 5.1 was better than HD-Net.
