This is crazy. No Pro Bowl in HD

[Scorpion.sting]

I cannot beleive that the Pro Bowl is not being telecast in HD. Something about the expense of shipping the HD equipment over to Hawaii would not be worth it.


I guess CBS could give to sheets less about the consumer.

how about you just watch the paint dry, that's probably got more viewers anyway

But the Hula bowl was in HD. ESPN apparently sent the equipment over and operated out of a few portable offices.

I am sure we can all thank CBS failures for this; they will surely claim every available piece of hardware they own was at their 2 NCAA games and at Pebble Beach for the PGA. NBC is the one in the financial crapper but its CBS that can't seem to spend any money. IMHO

The leagues and other events need to make it standard language in carriage contract negotiations, that if you can't do our event in HD then you will not get the contract.

As much as I love football, the Pro Bowl is a huge waste of time IMO...

I am a huge NFL fan but I dont watch this game. Its usually not great football but I cant watch a game in SD. Plus, its usually the worst SD cameras and broadcast. I watched a few minutes and the pan out picture was so bad, all I could see was moving color blobs on my 65" TV. Yuck just plain yuck.

I used to live in Hawaii and went to games in Aloha stadium. It was viewable from my back yard same as Pearl Harbor Memorial. Miss those days.
