Sportscenter might look nice in Comcastically compressed 1080 when its just two guys sitting there.
But you cut to highlights of games and it looks like trash. Basketball especially anytime it zooms in on a guy running.
Is it just me or is there nobody out there doing HD Sports the way it should be done? Watching playoff basketball there is so much pixellation during fast motion, especially on the color red. Its painful to watch.
I've yet to see it look good. TNT looked compressed through Comcast and DirecTV. NBC looks like ass no matter what, Comcast, DirecTV and even OTA. The fact that even OTA NBC playoff basketball looked terrible here in Portland, OR leads me to believe that the problem is way beyond Comcast or DirecTV, its in the transmission of the game itself from the arena.
Tell me I'm wrong. Watching basketball is the quickest and easiest way to realize that over-compression (or just lazy compression) is a crime.
Just had another thought. NBC here in Portland, OR which I was watching the playoffs, they broadcast that ridiculous sub-channel of weather on 8.2. That misuse of bandwidth could be the cause of this garbage.
