After a great ESPN HD Home Run Derby you'd think that Fox would not want to be made to look bad. However, if they don't really care we'll find out tonight. At present Fox is not even on my VOOM favorites list.

The official word apparently is if your station showed ID4 a few years ago (they have an encoder) then you'll get it. This includes NY and DC. Having a splicer doesn't matter. There's no reason for a station to use an encoder with Fox's splicer setup. So it's unlikely people in non top 10 markets will get 720p.
Well not H in NYC more like 480p WS but it really looks bad... This stadium has bad lighting Jeanne Zelasko -- I can't stand her.
Damn this is not even WS 480p. This looks like 720p upconvert. I don't remember WS 480p looking this bad.
Looks like Fox is big on promises but short on delivery. Wonder when they'll finally get the NFL in HD? By Super Bowl?
Crappy looking Fox Widescreen in DC; it is quite an unsightly picture. Thanks WTTG-DT for not dusting off your HD decoder and putting it to good use. :down Time to flip the channel...
Soriano!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My local affiliate upconverts everything to 720p, widescreen is usually 480p ->720p and looks better than this. could this be 720p->480i widescreen ->720p???? or is it the lighting thats really messing this up? I know it gave espn trouble last night.
My close-up shots look pretty good. Almost like 720p. The field shots are awful. I think the HD equipment in Atlanta is getting dusty too or they forgot to put the order in for enough hd cameras. Glad I didn't make a special effort to watch it.
On to Overhaulin' if I have to watch SD programming.

Go Alfonso.... Houston gets a consolation price... At least Alfonso is in Texas. American League --- Home Field in WS (not that it means much). Rocket left the fuel home.
