24 - on FOX in HDTV - Page 3  

I DVRed it last night, but was wondering if FOX 2 in detroit put their 'bright-ass' network logo in the bottom corner? I thought Halo 2 was bad. Don't want to have'FOX 2' burned into my RP-CRT.

Umm, sexed up? Sure, she lost a lot of weight since last season, but sexed up? No. No, no, no. And she's still the creepiest character on the show - including the bad guys. Interesting that she was the lone holdover aside from Jack.

Let's face facts, Jack Bauer is a menace to society. I would never want to be anywhere around him; you end up stabbed, shot, impaled, beat up, blown up, kidnapped, drugged, infected, incarcerated... And that's the good guys. Don't get me started with those unfortunate souls who become romantically involved with Mr. Bauer.

He is fun to watch though.

Poor President Palmer....reduced to doing commercials!!!
;) :D :eek:

jburroughs, did you get any kind of decent response from nicole? or just a canned answer?

Well, jeez is it any wonder why? Talk about your national security lapses.

Aw c'mon Sangs, he just got "bad intelligence" the last couple of seasons. These days, everybody knows that earns you a free pass from the electorate no matter how bad you subsequently screw things up, right? ;)

:D :D That's so true! Hangin' with Jack Bauer is definitely hazardous to your health. I knew that other CTU guy was toast as soon as he walked out the door with Jack; guess nobody briefed him.

I think the lapse he was talking about was bringing in Sherry Palmer to "fix" a problem! But of course your point about the electorate is still valid. A secretive, manipulative first lady well versed on covering up scandals, who craves nothing but power and will do anything to get it - my goodness she's Senatorial material! ;)

Cool analysis--thank you! Was this MPEG acquired from DirecTV, OTA or rebroadcast OTA on cable? I notice that many people seem to be outraged over the quality of Fox on DirecTV (hadn't been aware of that, since I don't follow the DirecTV threads).

I've been analyzing leased DVR filesizes. Unfortunately, I have no access to the files themselves, or I'd use MPEG analysis software on them (and I'm not curious enough to invest a QAM/ATSC capture card :)).

This is by far the BEST show on TV.

Cannot wait for tonight.

HD and 5.1 in Dallas, TX.

WOO HOO!!!!!

scfa99, yes I did get a good initial response...the whole response is located in this thread. It had a date she would respond back to me by (1/5 or by the end of last week). It was after the end of last week I posted her email and asked everyone to forward their complaints to her.

LMAO- Great point JTHree!!!!:D

You talking about Hilary, right?

Well, last night we had no fox bug in the Chicago market. Tonight, we have the big old red and white logo.

BOO FOX!. At least follow Discovery HD Theater's lead and show it for 30 seconds or so and then turn it off for a couple minutes. At least make it transparent like the other networks.

HD pic looks like fox football; below average.

I didn't get it on FOX19 out of Cincy last night, but there is part of a bright blue FOX in the bottom right tonight...half the F and half the O - as if you are watching a streched picture...but it isn't. Doesn't appear on the SD broadcast though.

chloe rules? how could you form your lips to say that? LOL i was hoping she wasnt going to be there this year. 720p and 5.1 was great in charlotte though :-)

Yea we can thank fox for trying to embalzen their logo in our sets. Yea thanks fox, I want your logo in my HD set for years to come. Yea I love 24 and fox that much that I want it bad.

I recorded last nights show and currently recording tonight’s, but I did a quick check when tonight’s started to make sure all of the settings were correct and I noticed the FOX blue bug was running off the right side of the screen completely missing the X as bearcat reported. Not sure what that is about.

it was from a fox OTA source
for fox, it should not matter as they pass the transport stream on directly so everyone gets the same feed as long as the local affiliate is using the splicer.

and i feel for you chicago-ans as i've seen that hideous red white and blue fox logo; it's appalling! the local station here does the bug perfectly, a transparent numeral 2 the size of the cbs 'eye' bug. somewhat off topic, but has anyone seen tools yet to remove this bug? if the splicer can inject it, something should be able to remove it...

In your post, you say "times are minus commercials". Is every minus commercials? Bitrate averages, etc?

I wish something was able to remove it, although if something existed, I believe it would be talked about on this board.

I actually signed a petition to remove them, but I don't think that it will do any good. God forbid I might forget that I am watching Fox. The bug makes me want to turn it off.

anyone know where you can download episodes peticularlly the on from tonight at 8?

Some of us need a week just to recover from the one showing:)

You're not kidding!! The first two seasons I liked to let a few episodes "pile up" on my ReplayTV before viewing them. I'm always wanting more at the end of each episode. Since this season is in HD, I don't have the hard drive space to let any pile up occur.

THe first two hours were terrific.

Then the next two hours were preposterous. As soon as Jack put that mask on, I was in hysterics. The first mountain lion moment of this season.

Yes they can't make it that easy. You have to have obstacles and hitches or else they could wrap up the main plot in a few hours. But they are trotting out a device they've used all too often in previous seasons, which is Jack having to work against the bureaucracy and work in outlaw mode. So just to get satelllite tracking he stages a robbery to delay the guy he was following?

That Muslim mother is creepy, almost reptilian with that unwavering gaze and the robotic way she gets the job done.

jumped the shark already???? lol.


i'm just hoping that a bomb would explode in the CTU center though....

all of the characters there are just pissing me off now.
