Well, the Redskins-Bucs game here is in HD. There's a noticeable difference from their ED broadcasts last year.
I've been watching the Lions/Bears game and it looks very soft/blurry and over-saturated with color. I've been flipping back and forth between that game and the Raiders/Steelers game and CBS looks much better. The CBS pic looks crisp and there's no color bleeding. When the camera backs out just before the snap is when you can really tell the difference. Fox looks bad, CBS looks sharp. I think the Fox game looks like 480p, but I don't know that for sure. My Voom box seems to improve the pic on Fox slightly when I upconvert to 1080 as opposed to leaving it at the native resolution.
It is 720p, better than upconverted to 720p which is what my affialiate was doing before today. But FOXHD is not being sent out to the affiliates at full bandwidth. From threads at AVS they are leaving room for a subchannel. Once again thank the networks and their affiliates. This time they have ruined HD even before it started.
Even the game just looks bad compared to ABCs preseason monday night football. Also the Detroit fox station dropped its 2-2 station that normally sends out a 480i signal when the game was on for some reason.
Well, its not a question of what I'm recieving, as its clear its a 720p signal...my only question is if the game that I'm watching is being sent as 480 to my local Fox station and being upconverted to 720p.

CBS was superior today with their 1080i to all the Fox games. Their broadcasts looked somewhere between 480 & 720 (via NFLTicket). At least it's a step in the right direction from 4X3.
Hey in Colorado Springs On CBS i received the games in 1080i and on Fox 1080i.. During commercial's on fox it would switch back to 720p but when the game came on they flipped it back to 1080i. I put my box in native mode and thats atleast what the box said when i flipped to those channels. The games looked great to me. And fox's 1080i was impressive. I am a Redskins fan and was extremely excited to be able to watch the game in HD. ESPN HD looked great also for the broncos game. Great way to start the football season with all these games in HD... YAY!!
gunn55 out of all the 4 local channels i get, FOX, CBS, ABC, PBS. CBS plays the majority of hd so far, atleast in my area.
