Will superbowl be on HD?

Which network will broadcast Superbowl on Feb 1?
I hope it is not FOX because FOX is not on HD yet.

Then you'll be glad to know its on CBS! They've just been getting better
and better at the HD broadcasts all year. Hi-def party time!

The Patriots game last weekend wasn't great; sound kept dropping out,
and screen froze a few times. And at least one of the cameras they
used wasn't HD.

Not to mention they missed a kickoff and a few plays, and the camera
work was awful.

Hopefully they'll get things sorted out over the next two weeks. I'd
prefer a well-produced FOX feed to what I got last week from CBS anyday.

The geographical center of Boston is in Roxbury. Due north of the
center we find the South End. This is not to be confused with South
Boston which lies directly east from the South End. North of the South
End is East Boston and southwest of East Boston is the North End.

I don't know what game you were watching, but the CBS HD presentation
was great, IMHO. There is no way I would ever wish a Fox broadcast over
CBS. Let's see: Fox = 480p. CBS = 1080i.

Until FOX goes 720p later in the year.

Indeed. The FOX digital broadcast is so ugly,
makes me want to puke.
I wish that FOX would go away so that MLB and
NFL would be prevented from giving their contracts to
the provider that goes out of their way to give us
the crappiest presentation possible.

Mmmmmmm that'll be nice. Can't wait.

Well, a Fox feed would certainly alleviate your need to complain about
that one SD camera (since they'd ALL be SD)!

Sounds like you had some local issues; it came in great in Portland.

Once they upgrade to HD this year, it shouldn't be an issue. Hopefully
we'll eventually get to the point that the NFL or MLB would have HD as a
requirement for any contract.

Note, the only thing that's been committed is the infrastructure (and
probably O&O stations). Your local affiliate will have its own issues
upgrading to this. It seems like Fox announced this rather late in they
year, so they may not have gotten the budget for 1994.
