Does anyone else see a huge drop-off in picture quality between CBS/NBC and FOX sports? I can't be the only one. I remember the Skins-Pats game barely looked like HD to me.
So anyone else agree? I'm really bummed the Super Bowl will be on Fox. I'll be watching the game with my fam, who has a bigger & better TV than I do, and the discrepancy in picture quality between CBS and FOX is even more noticeable on their set.
Now, I've tried to figure out what it could be. I know Fox is 720p, but by my understanding, it seems 1080i and 720 progressive isn't really a huge drop-off. Or shouldn't be.
So the next logical step is to blame Comcast, which I'm very open to doing since I think they suck to begin with, and as their HD signals seemed somewhat compressed to begin with, it's not hard to imagine one signal being even more munged than another.
However, other FOX programming looks like pretty crytsal clear HD, so I'm left to coming to the conclusion that the cameras that they use for Fox Sports must not be up to par with CBS.
Any thoughts?
