HD News New Years Eve Times Square? Yes, but how much coverage?

[Sean Mota]

The Las Vegas live feed does looks soft and more of a broadcast problem. The LIVE for NY where it well lit with all the signs looks wonderful. The Las Vegas location where the broadcaster is standing is very dark and no lighting. The NY feed looks very good.

I wish I had a live HD feed from NY I need my own c-ban so I can get this things directly...

Someone needs to tell the guy in New Orleans to focus the damn camera. Tell me the massive pixelation and softness from other scenes is not choked bandwidth? I need to go drink some champagne so I won't notice.

I see softness from New Olearn but I haven't seen pixelation... Maybe someone else can chime in to see if they can see the pixelation but I haven't so far.

They showed a scene with someone singing with confetti dropping and the entire screen was nothing but pixelation. I agree Las Vegas looks better, I hadn't seen Las Vegas yet when I first posted.

They also need to can the stupid repeating news bar at the bottom. How many times can we read about Colin Powell and the locked exit door at the club?

 

[DarrellP]

Even the Las Vegas shots are out of focus, maybe all the cameramen have started tipping the glass a bit too early? ;-)

I switched to Jay for a couple of minutes and they had a camera outside in TS but it was SD.

 

[Sean Mota]

Best coverage is in NY... Watch the small screen... Is it SD or HD?

 

[dfergie]

Nbc east and univision have best pq for sd D* and actually not that bad for sd...

[DarrellP]

Idiots! They didn't even show the ball drop! Like I want to look at Powell.

 

[BFG]

yup tom green ruined nbc...

 

[Sean Mota]

You did not miss much a ball drops and that's all no big deal! You'll watch the highlights! Happy New Year.

 

[DarrellP]

Sean, you are too good! I'm glad we have you around to cool things off. Happy New Year. Sorry for the attitude, I just hate lousy HD.

FWIW, the Las Vegas fireworks had zero pixelation, but the image was still soft, you could tell by looking at the HDN lettering on the mic that it was not in sharp focus, I wonder if they did that on purpose?
