Sunday Night Football Picture Quality

[the mack]

did anyone else think the picture quality sucked big time on last night's Lions-49ers game last night?

Ota was just as bad. the red in the 49ers jerseys really blurred with the smallest of movement.......

I watched first qtr, thought it was good?

If your OTA was bad and the local via Dish is from the same dma, it would seem the problem would have been with your local NBC station.

 

[Scherrman]

Looked fine to me.

 

[empiretc]

looked good here. garys is correct- if your local OTA looked bad, it would be the same on dish.

I thought it looked terrible here. I changed the channel, as it was giving me a headache.

The pixelation was pretty bad when there was a lot of motion on the screen, but the worst part for me was the judder.

I don't know what was going on. I took my rooftop antenna down when I got dish a few years ago, and I live too far out to test with rabbit ears. Don't know if the local NBC station was the same OTA or not.

Our CBS is running 2 subchannels and the Chiefs game looked terrible yesterday. I didn't check out the NBC game but it normally doesn't look good and usually it actually looks better on the dish feed than the OTA feed

That is surprising. The locals here always look better via OTA than they do on dish.

i have dish 250 but i use ota all the time. for one, i am 80mi from sioux city, 90 from omaha and 80 from Lincoln. sioux city carries different games than omaha which is on the dish. i do use the rotor regularly and like to watch regional news out here in the boondocks. omaha only carries big city stuff, lincoln and ss carry more of farm news and local items. btw, the hd on local channels beats the dish signal hands down. charlie

Game looked good at 110" from NBC 4 NY (Directv Distant) ...

 

[datwell]

The game looked great to me. The earlier Redskins game was the problem (we lost).

I think it's because Dish is getting the straight feed without the subchannels bandwidth loss and OTA we are getting the feed with the subchannels sucking away bandwidth.

Not sure. We get quite a few sub-channels. Most of them, however, are in SD.

I think the OP and I were watching on the same station, WDIV. PQ looked good on both Dish and OTA on my TV. Dare I say the problem could be on his TV?

 

[dfergie]

I did watch a little in the living room on 42" Sony from Albuquerque Dish Locals, didn't see anything wrong.

In Portland the quality of the picture was fine, the game was another matter entirely.

yea, I was watching it on WDIV, and granted the tv is not the latest and greatest, but I did not notice it on any other games that day or any other day for that matter.....

when there was no movement it looked good, with, not so much....

 

[The Fat Man]

Perfectly fine on WHDH from Boston. That was through Dish as I don't have an amp for OTA and WHDH gets a 65 signal at best from my location.

tonight's Monday Night game on ESPN looks real good....no problem with the reds on Atlanta's jerseys.....?????
