I've seen better HD broadcasts. I think someone else brought up that it didn't look as clear as I expect. Too far away maybe?

they're bouncing it off a sat and back to their master control in NY, i don't think they're experiencing any quality issues.

yes,the olympics look great in HD, but I'm getting alot of picture dropouts and the sound is out of sync. Of course, the commercials come in fine.

commercials are coming in fine because they're generated right at master control. do you have sat or cable?

That's strange. I've been watching on and off (rangers game) and didn't have any dropouts... maybe i just missed it.

cutout just as the US pairs threw that triple axel (for one), finally saw it on replay - can't understand it as my cable company has been excellent - no problems on other channels - it's really irritating having the sound so out of sync - well, I guess I'll go up and try to sit thru some more (finally setup a wireless system for the house and updated my laptop)

Same deal here in SW FLA via ComCrap: we get dropouts, black screen, "pops and snaps" when it lurches back on, sometimes, etc. The only issue we seldom have is lip sync.

This drop out crap is only on the HD digital feed stations; the non-HD stations never exhibit this, nor does my 2nd TV which is non-digi and just the basic pkg.

I've talked to ComCrap a few times and they have been out a couple times to fix my phone deal with them. The "techs" just sorta shrug on the HD dropout deal and tell me it's normal.

I think it might be "hard" on the set too, with the continual "off and on" effect.

It's 2006 and the CableCo produces signals like it's 1992.

Thanks for letting me rant,

Wow... I just watched the Canadian women's hockey team dissect the Russians 12-0 . Nice follow-up to yesterday's 16-0 victory over Italy. Outstanding.
