Will superbowl be on HD?

Do you know if it will be shot by a completely seperate crew like last years
ABC production? I like that better then the 16:9 HD version of the game
being framed for 4:3 SD.

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!

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


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.

1994?

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.

Who cares how much resolution it has if the product sucks ? Would you
also prefer a DVD-Audio of a cat being strangled over a hissy tape of the
Beattles ?

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.

Hehe, I'm "so last-century". That would be 2004. This year.

the pats game the week before i thought was exceptional...lots of flying cam
shots (any of the moving cams that show depth really make the hd)...seems
they couldn't use the skycam last week though since every time they did it
had moisture on the lens...agreed, though, this week was not the production
of the week prior

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.

That depends, cat on a DVD audio with my Boston Speakers, versus hissy
Beatles on a Bose system?

I'll take the CAT!

He also mentioned a lot of audio drops. Unless we all heard them, that was
probably local.

So the cameramen made a few mistakes. Seeing as how they were working in
-5 degree weather with a lot of snow, I think we can cut them some slack.

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.


I predict there will be no HD MLB games this 2004 season.

You must be awfully easy to please. Yes, the picture quality of CBS HD was
superb (when the camera lens was not clouded with condensation) but the
technical quality of this game broadcast as well as the Titans-Pats game the
week before were atrocious. At one point they missed a kickoff because they
were apparently unable to operate the switcher and had to resort to the high
overhead camera normally reserved for cover shots. There were also numerous
little blackouts and the aformentioned camera that looked like it was
shooting in a steam room. There were more screw-ups in these two games than
I can ever recall in a CBS football broadcast.

You could compromise and just listen to an average recording of Yoko Ono.
