    Superbowl on HD?

    I know FOX has the Superbowl this year. Anyone know if it will be broadcast in HD, aside from OTA? I know Fox is 720p and is pretty decent so maybe this will be the onus for me to finally work on my OTA setup. I'm mainly curious.

    NBA on TNTHD - Where's the HD?

    While watching the HOU vs DET game on TNTHD, the signal started breaking up and all of a sudden switched to standard resolution. Now the picture isn't nearly as sharp and the sound is not in sync. What happened? Anyone else experience this? I'm in the Sacramento, CA area. Thanks!
