WVIT-DT via Comcast Cable... horrible PQ so far. Sound cuts in and out and theres little dots all over the picture much of the time. Hope its some pre-game kinks that will be worked out by game start. I'm anxious to see the NBC graphics used this year.


Edit: I should mention this is the Rangers/Bruins game.

Watching Flyers/Penguins in Chicago and it is being shown in SD... so much for HD. Kind of mad right now. Im on comcast cable.

 

[Petteri]

NBC Miami via Comcast cable - Rangers v. Briuns. Not in HD, with NBC HD sidebars.


NBC Detroit (Starchoice satellite) HD, good pic, but drop outs with sound and pic dropping out.

I'm seeing a few video breakups on WDIV from Comcast here in Detroit with the Pittsburgh/Philadelphia game.

here in pittsburgh our local feed starts with the rangers game in hd, then they finally decide to swtich to our local pittsburgh game...and of course its in SD. this is pathetic.

 

[homcom]

I just missed seeing the Pens goal live as there was a full screen breakup of the video as it went in.

 

[HDNair]

Pen/Flyers SD in Colorado as well...

Same thing here in Denver on OTA. First they went to the wrong game (Rangers in HD) then switched back to the Flyers and it is only in SD.

Edit 12:24 PM MST

They finally switched to HD on the Flyers game.

 

[Ken H]

All sorts of video dropouts from WDIV-DT NBC Detroit, now on OTA.

Just switched to HD here in Denver on OTA.

 

[tipton]

ok i finally have the pens game in HD but with no sound....great.

 

[homcom]

NBC peacock logo that is in the lower right corner during replays is way to high. It looks like it is floating out in the middle of nowhere.

 

[spaceywilly]

HD Rangers vs Bruins here in Sturbridge, MA on Charter. Pregame was unstable but now it's smooth.
