it is nice to see cbs stepping up their effort with three games in hd this week.

The markets for particular games just look strange. For instance, take the early CBS games. Why does the Little Rock area care about the JAX/NYJ game, or Odessa/Midland TX care about the CIN/CHI game? The Fox schedule looks just as weird.

CBS does three NFL games in HD every week. Of course, some markets may not see them.

 

[Mr Tony]

WOO HOO!!!

MN gets the "Pitts game of the week"

the team without a home vs. the team who just plain sucks!

 

[Mr Tony]

The Fox schedule looks just as weird.

Like why does the tip of Maine get NO/MN?

 

[asousa]

cbs sucks....I can't believe 3 games in HD!!

 

[Sean Mota]

I will agree with but take the opposite of that - 6 games on Fox of HD Lite. I would rather watch the True HD on CBS even if it is not my team than watching the Fox HD Lite if it was my team. Quality vs Quantity.

the fox hD games while not as good as CBS is a lot better than SD, you are crazy...

if you lived in arkansas you'd know that its all because of Matt Jones. and since the only other thing dealing with the NFL people here like are the Cowboys, which our Fox local has. So, everything being equal, its a no-brainer for the local CBS affiliate to show the local boy who "done good."

of course, this also explains why I have NFL:ST since I can't stand the Cowboys and the Jags game is invariably carried in stunning CBS SD

The Bengals in HD and 3-0!!! WOOHOO! It looked great. I was amazed though that I still saw some artifacting on real fast moves. I received the signal via OTA rabbit ears and an ATSC tuner card on my computer.

I also found the graphics annoying since they are placed in the "middle" of the HD picture for standard TV transmissions.

GO BENGALS!!!!

See ya

I guess you are a quantity guy... I always go for quality... and that is not crazy.

mota, i was under the impression that P is better for sports and I. i personally find the CBS picture flickery, hazy, and washed out. Fox seems smoother and has more color. I'll take a good Fox game over a good CBS game any day. Part of that though is that I find its presented much better than CBS, too... with the graphics, etc.

but thats definately not to say that 480p is better than 1080i...

oh, and speaking of quality vs quantity, since each frame in 720p has more "quality" than each frame in 1080i, should that mean YOU'RE the quantity guy? LOL.

maybe 1080p will make the whole thing moot
