Since Ken hasn't started the topic yet, I'll take the lead on this --


Is anyone else having terrible sound problems on MNF right now, or is this something peculiar to Detroit?

 

[Man E]

Yes. Me too. I figured that it was just me being in the boonies... that's why I checked here

 

[fggtheater_john]

Yes, I am also having problems here in Detroit with the audio! I've tried several times on my DTC-100 to power up and down.. no avail. Picture is perfect. I am in Farmington Hills so I'm pretty darn close to the antenna.

 

[rreini]

Now we've just lost picture and sound in Detroit for a moment. But the sound appears to have improved...


I think the problems have cleared up. Now can someone from outside SE Michigan tell us if they were having audio problems?

 

[Man E]

Ahhhhh..... Blimpcam blurovision

 

[BostonT]

Watching on TWC Memphis, TN. Getting some sound glitches sporadically. Picture looks great, not as good as CBS, but it beats the pants off of SD. The SD camera changes are fugly though. Sure makes me happy I made the HD upgrade.

 

[btokars]

Is this a first for an HD blimp shot (he asked, hoping that it really is an HD cam and not tweaked SD)?

 

[DOBE]

5.1 and no audio problems in Sacramento. The PQ is incredible OTA tonight.

 

[sega19]

I'm getting major picture freezing here on Comcast in Kanas City. Is anyone else experiencing this?

 

[Man E]

The backdrop blimp shot must have been taken last night (or earlier) because they had a shot over the stadium before that from the blimp and it was butt-ugly Smear-Definition. Why oh why won't they box those? The farther away the worse it looks.

 

[DOBE]

I said yesterday that I didn't notice that much difference with the 49ers on CBS (1080i) and MNF (720P). Now that the 49er game is recent in my mind I've changed my opinion. I think football in 720P on a 1366X788 plasma is better. Slightly crisper, clearer and no motion artifacts.

Can anybody from Indianapolis verify that RTV is even broadcasting (6-1). I've pointed my antenna every way possible and can't even get a blip.

 

[Charles R]

Bob,


You want 25.1 as WRTV does not remap their channel.

 

[rbmcgee]

Wow, thanks Charles. I could have sworn I watched last week on 6-1. I either need better glasses or I'm too senile to even care about HD.

 

[jcbruck]

Occasional drop-outs OTA (Zenith SS) here in Littleton just south of Denver, otherwise good PQ and DD 5.1 - PROLOGIC!! WE WANT DD-EX!!

 

[BVfan]

Best MNF game I've seen for clarity. I think it rivals the 49er game from yesterday. Have seen some pixelation at times, but not much. OTA.

 

[Ben jammin]

I'm watching on TWC in Houston. Picture is spectacular, better than what I saw from CBS all weekend. But I am getting constant popping through my speakers that is ticking me off.

 

[bootz]

Picture is perfect here in Memphis using OTA & RCA F38310...however, I'm suffering a very irritating audio glitch. Anyone else dealing with this issue? Could it be my antenna? (I'm getting a very good signal strength, +80)


Note my post in the Local HDTV forum:

Hey everyone, MNF comes in great OTA on channel 24-1. The picture is awesome on my F38310, but there is a very annoying audio problem. Every 2 or 3 minutes, the 5.1 surround is accompanied by an awful-sounding "scratch" noise...kind of like I have a DJ scratching a record in my home theater. Any other Memphis / non-Memphis MNFers have this problem? TIA!

 

[drhill]

Looks nice. Picture was shaky earlier from one or two of the cameras but I think that's from the rather loud crowd. Shame the game is another MNF stinker.

 

[drhill]

The "song" they used to come back from comercial a minute ago was really crappy.
