Ncaa hoops PQ

Glad I still have an antenna. The picture quality dish CBS, TNT, TBS and TRU are awful compared to CBS OTA. Just sad how low of a priority a good quality picture has become. I'm watching on 75inch TV but still.

I had Tru on at work on Friday via Time Warner (now Insight). It looked AWFUL. OTA will give you better PQ 95%+ of the time.

I bounced back and forth on CBS today this afternoon and could see no difference on my 65".

OTA isn't going to help when the game is only played on TruTV...

Yeh, that too.

The games from Tulsa were on tru. I watched some on Cox and they looked as good or better than KOTV OTA. Looked as good as they did when I was sitting in the arena. I just had more leg room at home in my recliner. The green sidelines blended right in with Baylors neon green uniforms.

You know this may be your receiver. I traded in an old 1st generation Hopper for the new Hopper 3 and the picture quality is so much better.

I noticed KOTV has three subchannels (total of four channels), at least according to their online program guide. I wonder how bit starved they're making CBS to fit the other channels in.

Our local CBS affiliate had horrible PQ both OTA and on Dish during the WVU-Notre Dame game. Picture would become briefly clear and then get blurry (pixilating) until they finally lost the feed for the final three minutes of the game!

Only 2 subchannels. 3 total. I don't have my HD homerun connected anymore to look at the bitrates. It used to be around 12.5-13M for the main .1 CBS feed. The .2 CW subchannel was 2.5-3M , as they simulcast sister station KQCW on a repeater station for areas they claim to the North in Kansas that can't receive KQCW's signal, as the KQCW transmitter is further south than KOTV's. the .3 is just a 24/7 newscast loop and was 2-2.5M

Thanks. I know 3 channels total isn't unusual. When I saw a fourth listed, I wondered how they were splitting the bandwidth.
