If I were out there, I'd go FiOS in a heart-beat. Oh.. wait.. everyone I know out there already has.

Apparently the NBC affiliate here has some really crap back end equipment that can't at all deal with HD. They must have someone sitting there watching the feed and having to flip a switch back and forth to enable and disable HD. The signal on often drops out when a show goes to commercial until 'poof" a 480i SD signal carrying commercial pops in. Then your show starts back up and is in crappy 480i SD until 'poof' the HD comes back. And any time they scroll weather alerts across show, the signal drops down to crappy 480i.

It's funny, you'd think local affiliates would be scrambling to do things right with HD? Especially with locally generated content (like news). But only 1 of our "big 4" does news in HD. So hey ABC, NBC, and FOX, you want my eyeballs back you better get going on HD!!]]>Jun 16th 2008 7:54PM<![CDATA[Comments on Comcast relegating some stations to digital only in Washington, D.C.]]>http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/comcast-relegating-some-stations-to-digital-only-in-washington/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/11/comcast-relegating-some-stations-to-digital-only-in-washington/Jul 11th 2008 6:52AM
