I live in New York and get FOX DTV on channel 44-1.
Sometimes, the picture quality is just amazing, and sometimes it looks worse than FOX over RCN cable (channel 5).
Sometimes, the picture seems wider than regular 4x3, but not as wide as 16x9.
I am trying to understand how and why FOX picture quality varies so much. I am aware that FOX does not broadcast DTV in 1080i or 720p, hence it is not TRUE HD, but 480p done right looks awesome. I remember stumbling across Jerry Maguie a few weeks ago on FOX (same night that Max Bickford premiered on CBS) and thought it was great, I've come across baseball games that look AWESOME too, so 480p can be a huge improvement (at least to my eyes).
Is there a rhyme or reason for this variation? Why would some baseball games be crisp and clear and others be murky and soft?
Can anyone make sense of these questions? CBS makes perfect sense to me--when it's in HD it's in HD 'nuff said...but FOX totally confuses me.
