We're sure you've been taking in the Las Vegas festivities this weekend on TNT-HD, but we've actually got something a bit more exciting that Boston's Gerald Green finally giving the Celtics something to cheer about. Similar to other sporting events that have been upping the ante on their HD arsenal, the NBA will be using a whopping 30 camera crews and 10 high-definition cameras to capture the 2007 All Star matchup. Moreover, we expect TNT's indoor broadcast to look slightly better than the rainout we all had to endure when watching the Super Bowl, but be sure to catch the game tonight at 9:00PM EST and then drop a comment as to how glorious (or not) you thought the broadcast actually was.
The broadcast has all kinds of macroblocking and noise. I was pretty unhappy when I heard the game was going to be on TNT, as their picture quality has always underwhelmed me.
Yeah, I personally thought the picture quality was TERRIBLE. What shocked me was that all the overlays they placed on-top of the game footage looked amazing but the actual quality of the game was probably one of the worst HD presentations I had ever seen.
