Hopefully they will get the PQ back by then...

Gotta love UHD, tho! They show lotsa good stuff on there, and all in HD (unlike TNT-HD)!!!

The local CBS affiliate in Memphis did not carry the feed. Enjoyed the UHD coverage, though. Augusta National looks great in HD.

-JohnWell it is a great pic until they follow the ball in flight. Then it turns horrendous. You can't even see the ball. The pixellated pixels are bigger than the ball!!!!!! LOL

Bad PQ. Here's how you can tell...

Look at the grass when they are putting. Before the player hits the ball and the camera is still, you can see all of the blades of grass (just like an OTA NFL game). But when the camera moves to follow the ball, the grass just turns into one big glob of green.

I can't wait to see the Masters in uncompressed HD with CBS-HD this weekend. There should be a world of difference.

-John "PQ snob" and "Beer snob" as well. :)

Didn't see it in the PG for my local channel (WJZ-13 Baltimore).

Still looks like only this weekend...

CBS affiliate in S.F. showed the Masters on their digital channel, but soaps on analog. Also, vurbano's right, OTA PQ was much better than UHD via Voom. Color was more saturated, and the picture was sharper with less pixelation.
