Dolphins/Rams via OTA in Miami. Great looks great but audio is low. There has been occassional static coming from my speakers.

browns eagles main cam looks awful..looks like a 480i upconvert

Lions/Giants on KHON Honolulu OTA.


Pic looks good, audio mix low.

Compression problems do seem to be getting better on FOX, but have not gone away completely. I am still seeing he infamous "dancing turf" problem along with some graininess. ABC and ESPN still look a bit cleaner to me, and I suspect it's a bandwidth issue.



[email protected], OTA WFXT-DT Boston.

Eagles @ Cleveland Looks good in HD here OTA from WRGT-DT Dayton/WXIX-DT Cincinnati.

Watching Browns/Eagles on new Pioneer VSX-D414 home theater.....I'm getting Dolby Pro Logic Signal I thought I'd get Dolby Digital like I'm watching a DVD. Is this an issue or do I not understand?

Nitewatchman, glad to hear ur happy with the PQ of the eagles/browns games. Because I have to agree with Rakesh.S. It looks horrible!


FOX5-WTTG WASHINGTON DC

I didn't say it was perfect .... I've seen better, and worse ... I guess you can watch the analog SD station if you want ...

I wasn't being sarcastic. No need to point out the obvious

Watching Falcons/Chiefs on Comcast in Atlanta. Rear speakers are weak. Receiver says DD 5.1, sounds more like DPL II.


Pic looks decent. Vibrant colors, detailed closeups. Pic still has the fox zoomed in look. This causes a couple camera bloopers - extreme closeups of passing traffic instead of the intended target.

Lions/Giants seem to have lost the infamous FOX BAR, what a shame....

It does seem lower than normal FOX DD 5.1.

 

[Mike4HDTV]

Packers/Cowboys - watching OTA in Miami. Good PQ and DD5.1 audio. Endzone cameras are not HD.

 

[dmwierz]

Bears/Bucs looked awful. More like widescreen SD.


Packers/Cowboys almost as bad, especially the field-level cameras. How can they call this HD? I'd be embarassed to use this to demo HD.

 

[scowl]

The Batttle of the Birds (Seahawks vs. Cardinals) is clearly widescreen upconvert, but that's OK because it wasn't advertised as HD. It makes sense that Fox is continuing to use widescreen SD for the non HD games. CBS isn't willing to do that.


Ugly sample shot here.

Im not sure but I dont believe the Bears game was in HD, at least it wasnt offered in HD by D*.

Read the first post by Ken H.....Bear/Bucs was SD not HD.


Packers game looks decent. Not the best from Fox HD but much better than the WS SD crap.
