Any other HD watchers that hate FSN?

I tell ya - being a High Def watcher FSN has to have the worst telecast on all 300 channels I get.

it is ALMOST unwatchable - literally!

I don't know if it is the upconversion from 480i or WHAT!! Since my Mitsubishi automagically upconverts everything to 1080i I can not switch it off but they are the worst.

WHAT 16 frames a second or something?

During the game today I searched for ANY channel that was broadcasting in 480i that had a worse picture and it was hands down the worst!

No complaints from me

Baseball in HD? Count me in.

Time Warner's selection of HD programming is pretty sparse. There are only so many episodes of Star Trek:Enterprise a guy can watch. When the broadcast the Crew in HD, I'm pretty happy.

BUT -

Do you have an HD TV and does FSN look terrible? (did you even read my post?) LOL

Well, sure

We do have HDTV, and I haven't noticed anything bad except the play being broadcast. I don't think I've seen any other baseball in hi def, so I don't have anything to compare it to.

(As an aside, baseball doesn't really seem to benefit from a HD broadcast that much, not in the way football does. And CERTAINLY not in the way hockey does. I don't know why this is.)

Also, -5 for LOL at your own joke, but +5 for the use of a great new word, "automagically." Awesome.

I have digital cable and FSN's broadcast quality it particularly awful. It's grainy, dark, and fuzzy at times, I can't stand it. I have a theory that the cameras at Miller Park aren't the best, but the ESPN game a few weeks ago looked alright ... I don't know how it looks on satellite. It's very disappointing.

One day I'll have a hi-def TV. One day.

thanks

I was hoping it was not me!! I've seen BB in HD and it is outstanding (seems to always be the Yankees).

But FSN is not even worth watching. Can't tell Miller from Fielder :-)

Well

To be fair, the two are practically twins.

that you have to listen to BA and Rock.

That's not the Chirizo, It's Enrico Polazzo!
