In the middle of Rosh Low reporting on the NY building crash, 7 suddenly stopped what some like to call “stretchovision”, stretching the image to fit 16:9 format.
The HDTV purists either won the battle or we’ll get a nice surprise soon with the special “stretchovision” that WPLG uses only for the corners of the pictures, which went haywire not long ago during a Deco Drive broadcast.
But then the could be getting ready to unleash true 16:9 format to go with the new eyecandy graphics! 😀
Ha… wouldn’t that be nice.
I don’t think we HDTV “purists” won anything, and I certainly don’t think that WSVN is getting ready to start true local HD broadcasting. I think something got fubar and it’s only a matter of time before stretch-o-vision returns. 2 cents, of course. 🙂
I was simply guessing 🙂
With the last part being simply my wishful thinking 🙂
Who cares? These idiots bumped the Tigers-A’s playoff to FX or SunSports when they were supposed to carry it. I can live one night (and many more) without Belkys’ scratchy voice and Craig the Munchkin, I assure you. 7 remains a bush-league operation, and Ansin deserves to lose his shirt, the grouchy bastard|!
The truth is most of the time 7 gets more viewers not showing the whatever sports FOX wants on than running their newscast.
Besides not everyone likes to have their regular programing pre-emted to show sports. There’s a reason we subsidize ESPN
|This is a playoff, not a regular game. They were the only Fox affiliate mot to carry it. Regardless, their journalistic abilities are below par, their owner is a crab…boiled down, 7 sucks and always has. Screw them.
By the way, admin, we do not subsidize ESPN. We pay for it, but if they don’t own the rights to an event, like this one, then we expect to see it where it should be, not to have to scramble through the channels to find it. Also, as this thread was supposed to be about HDTV, what do you suppose is a more interesting use of the technology: a major league playoff game or looking up Belkys Nerey’s nostrils?
