WPVI-DT Philadelphia HD& DD 5.1 audio breaking up switched to 2.0 for a few minutes. Now back to 5.1 picture looks good.

Good pq, great 5.1 sound in Tampa. Up and down game (mostly down as the half winds down)

Who was the girl band that played just before the beginning of the 2nd half?

It's interesting to watch the post counts drop on threads like this the longer the HD broadcast is available. Almost like it's being taken for granted.

I don't know about you fellas but my picture seemed like it was kind of smokey in the background as if they had fireworks or something go off in the background and the residual is still remaining. Also the scoreboard was a little fuzzy. - Cablevision NYC

Did anyone's picture outside of the Philly market freeze during the 50+ yard pass play to Holt? Mine froze right as he was catching the ball. Then came back as he was running to the sideline after the score, then it froze again but back to the original freezing point picture of Holt about to catch the ball, then it returned to normal. Very weird and annoying to miss the best play of the game like that.....figures!

Or of course it could mean that we were watching the MLB playoffs on FOX instead of this lopsided matchup.

I thought the PQ was ok. My cable co gets the detroit feed.


ABC and Fox just don't wow me like CBS NFL HD does.


1- CBS

2- ABC

3- Fox...and that isn't saying much as it is so far behind the other two IMO

The MNF games look great to me and I am getting Tired of Joe Buck on Fox telling me how great FOX HD is, sorry joe it blows

The Fox games look great down here in San Antonio. Our station doesn't simulcast so we get the full bandwidth I'm assuming. They don't overlay any bug either. Does your station do that?

fox in cincinnati (wxix) does a great job - picture looks great.. abc in cinncinnati (wcpo) is crap - IMHO..

abc uses the 720p format and it sucks--the picture in foreground is ok--but the rest is blurry--watched the playoffs on fox(720p)and sure enough--when they shot it from behind the pitcher to the batter,only thing looked HD was the pitcher--the batter and catcher and fans were blurry--and dont tell me to adjust the tv--im going dvi--1080 rocks! 720 sux-also see it on football games--see for yourself

There was blurrieness around the computer generated ad behind home plate that drove me nuts. Look for it in the WS. Right handed batters will look perfect HD, left handed batters will look fuzzy. It's got nothing to do with 720 vs 1080 and "taking sides" for one format or the other is childish at best.
