Weak Intro with the Italian mobsters but thank the good Lord that Britney Spears and other pop singers were not included in this weeks rendition of Hank Williams Jr's Monday Night Football.
Originally posted by 1080iAddict Is there any considerable difference (actually, any difference at all) if I switch the output of my 5100 from 1080i to 720p to match the 720p telecast? Using a Mits 65" RPTV.
I've tried that with my BEV 6000 and Toshiba 42H82, and haven't been able to see any difference in pq. Both the stb and tv seem to do an equally good job with the conversion to 1080i.
And as for the skycam.... The shots from ESPN last night were remarkably better than they are tonight. Is it just a different type of camera that they're using, or does ESPN have some kind of magic up-converter?
Someone needs to inform the ABC Camera Man that he does NOT need to zoom-in on every play! If you watch closely like I have, we are missing alot of the football game because ABC (maybe?) feels the need to get close-up shots. This was probably needed and encouraged when the game was only in 480i, but it is almost unwatchable in HD. By contrast, ESPN's Minnesota/Bears game was shot much better. Does anyone know something that I don't? Does anyone else feel cheated???
After watching CBS SEC game and the Eagles Patriots game I can say this does not look nearly as good. This could be my Cable HD Tuner as it upconverts 720p to 1080i
I agree. CBS looked way better on TW Cable in Austin.
Originally posted by 1080iAddict Playing on the Mits setup options (looking for a 720p setting), I can switch to a 960i format. I never heard of such a dog. Maybe a format in another country?
Originally posted by bobby94928 960 is 480 doubled, it's the line doubler.
Yep... that's just the 3:2 480i being line doubled... the other option is deinterlaced 480p. I'm really unsure of which is better since I could never tell the difference back when I watched through cable. Now everything is Upped to 1080i.
I lost HD as well but now it is back. My local does this to me all the time. What could cause them to lose the HD feed for 30-45 min then come back on?
