Superbowl Philly OTA problems?

[newsposter]

Anyone else have bad reception OTA on the game yesterday? It seems when they went to replay, showed their graphic, that really caused problems with blockiness etc. Then there were a bunch of other times that it just went to hell. Overall not a super deal...but I've never gotten it on any other football game during the year and also watched ABC for over an hour after the game and there was no sign of any problems, so it was definitely the superbowl feed.

Had the same problems. OTA was constantly breaking up.

I had to watch the more compressed signal from DTV via NY feed. Typical WPVI. They better get their act together by 2009.

I had some break up as well. And the 5.1 sound during the Rolling Stones was HORRIBLE!

I would say that every 5 minutes I would have 1 minot break up of the signal. FUN!

Speaking of the Rolling Stones .... Some things are NOT better in hi-def.
Watched the OTA Philly feed and seeing Mick's arms drooping as he pranced about the stage caused the entire room here to groan. Eck.

Yup, wasn't just you. Lots of OTA breakup.

Disappointing.

But then...chopper6 is going HD!

HD or not, i stopped watching after jim gardner and wont go back anytime soon on the rare occasions i do watch the news. They are just too dramatic on that station. Given the others copied that...but their emphasis is just too great.

My signal dropped a few times during the game, I just figured a plane was landing at the airport, coming between me and the tower. Nice to see it is not me. Channel 6 gets on my nerves, they run news flashes across the bottom of the screen no matter what show is on. I remember during an episode of Lost where the News Van drove over the dialog between Sun and Jin as they were speaking in Korean. The News Van routinely drives over Izzy's cleavage on Grey's Anatomy, blocking that view.

I also thought the sound during the SB was dreadful, not much surround. The commercials had better output. The game pixelated at strange times. Overall a bad presentation by ABC and WPVI.
