      Whaaaaaa? That's some of the worst picture quality I've ever seen!

      Sorry for you, man that stinks. I just watched it in HD OTA. CBS HD football to me ***defines*** quality HDTV, along with the Discovery Channel's "Over" series. (i.e. "Over Alaska", etc)

        Agreed about the great CBS HD football PQ.

          Yes, it would have been great to watch the detailed rain. lol. I'd like to have watched HD, but I won't pay cable 100.00 a month to do it, nope.

            The picture quality was pretty good all things considered (rain, etc, fogging up the lenses etc.) The sound could have been better though. There was practically no surround sound at all, and during commercial breaks, the sound (when using the DD digital output) kept dropping out. Several people on AVS reported the same problem, so it was a CBS thing rather than anything local to my cable feed, station or equipment.

            A 2nd TV connected to the analog outs on the same cable box didn't have any dropouts though. Just my pre-pro, so there must have been errors in the DD bitstream.

              I have to agree. With what picture quality there was, it was good. But haven't they heard of heaters for the cameras? Even the fixed remote ones. We used to use them all the time for skiing events in Colorado. No new technology there!

              But the sound :twisted: Attttttttrocious. The level was all over the place, on both sa and local OTA feed. There was some decent deep bass when the fireworks went off at the beginning of the halftime show and the mix for Prince was not bad, but the game itself was terrible. The difference between Jim Nantz and Boomer Esiason should get the engineer fired! The dropouts when going from national commercials to local promos and ads and back to national was unacceptable. Oh well, someday in the 24th century.

                  cbs is the only local i dont get due to a contract dispute that was suppose to be resolved last year, usually i pick it up via antenna (thankfully the tuner is good on the h20 unlike the rest of the box-lol)

                  yesterday i did not get reception so I had to dig up the old rabbit ears

                  my only complaint was the audio but i guess that had nothing to do w/ ota
                  this is the FIRST time i have seen virtually no macro blocking due to bit rate issues receiving 1080i

                  great picture quality and the audio sounded great (when working)
                  not sure if the improvements are a testament to uncompressed hd , cbs or both
