WVIT-DT via Comcast Cable... horrible PQ so far. Sound cuts in and out and theres little dots all over the picture much of the time. Hope its some pre-game kinks that will be worked out by game start. I'm anxious to see the NBC graphics used this year.

Edit: I should mention this is the Rangers/Bruins game.

NBC Miami via Comcast cable - Rangers v. Briuns. Not in HD, with NBC HD sidebars.

NBC Detroit (Starchoice satellite) HD, good pic, but drop outs with sound and pic dropping out.

Same thing here in Denver on OTA. First they went to the wrong game (Rangers in HD) then switched back to the Flyers and it is only in SD.
Edit 12:24 PM MST
They finally switched to HD on the Flyers game.

NBC peacock logo that is in the lower right corner during replays is way to high. It looks like it is floating out in the middle of nowhere.

WNBC-DT NYC OTA.

If you minus the macroblocking the PQ is good.
No SD cams so far. The score bar seems a little big but I like the style, it also looks like the graphics are HD.

NBC needs to be quicker going back from replays and breaks to the faceoff.

They almost missed the first two goals of each team as they missed the faceoffs.

Getting the Bruins/Rangers game in HD in Memphis. PQ is terrible and I'm constantly seeing double and triple lines around the circles and lines. Is anyone else seeing this?

OTA, WMC, 2 subs.

Video dropouts continue throughout the intermission. At least they wiped the water off the camera lens providing the video feed behind the desk. During the pregame they had some water drops on the lens.

NBC is stretching 4x3 content from highlights of previous games. I wish they would keep the 4x3 and put some pillar bars up or better yet get HD highlights if they exist.

Before you posted others (like me) had already posted they had the game in HD.

I called WMAQ-5 and eventually called the cell of the Director of Engineering (Jan Jaros). She called me back to say that WMAQ are still waiting for the equipment so they can broadcast the NHL in HD. So today's NHL game and all games in the foreseeable future will be in SD.
Not sure what she means, since many WMAQ sports events are in HD. For some reason they need equipment for the NHL feed.
Does anyone know any more about this? It sucks having to watch hockey in SD.

Sound like BS. If they can do other NBC sports in HD, they can do hockey in HD.
