Peoria Il HD Any Good?

[railroad-guy]

I "moved" north a bit for NASCAR and now see that Peoria is now HD. Back in January when I had Peoria channel 19 was always bad. Just not clear, almost ghosting or out of sync.

How does it and the others look in HD. Should I return?

It looks like the OTA feed. Channel 19 has been "taken over" by channel 25 and it has looked a lot better. 19 always looked like crap analog, but the national stuff like Lost has always looked good HD, IMO. Now the news, SD as they all are here, looks much better. The big 4 still show nothing HD outside of the standard national stuff offered in HD (national news, prime time programming, Leno, Letterman, etc.). Stuff in syndication like Oprah and Dr. Phil, even though available in HD, are broadcast SD. When they flash any graphics over the top of HD programming, such as temperature, weather adviseries, school closings, etc., it pops back to SD. Happens on all 4 OTA or from E*, so it's not a E* thing.

Ha... that is funny because the big Fox 32 out of Chicago does the same thing. Last NASCAR race I had a small picture because of their weather warning box!

So I guess I may move back. I miss weather that means something where I live

Thanks!
