you may have to adjust the geometry of your hdtv. It is in the service manual and sometimes not easy to do.

I am at 58th minute. The problem I see is that WorldSport maybe better suited at 1280x720p since the 1080i compression can be seen more noticeably than ever before. Maybe at 720p there woudn't be a noticeable difference and it will be just like we saw on ESPN2 HD this summer. The 1080i channels are all suffering from this fiasco that HD Lite is.
I can do -1/+1 adjustments on my Sony and Samsung with the user menu. However, I need to access the service menu to make this adjustment on my Mits CRT.
I am watching it live. I don't know, the picture looks about average to me. And I can't say that ESPN looked much better. I saw compression artifacts during the World Cup too.riffjim4069 said:
I agree with you Ilya but I think at 1080i there is much more... The 720p kinds of hides them more.
The compression artifacts aren't that much worse than what I recall seeing on ESPN/ABC, but there is lot more of them. I didn't think the World Cup PQ was all that good by the way, but I feel it was much better than what I'm seeing on WorldSportHD.Ilya said:
In any case, it sure is nice to have La Liga back for another season...
Out of curiosity I just played a fragment of the World Cup Final, recorded off ABC-HD (OTA), and I must agree that the picture on WorldSport does look much softer and more compressed than the one on ABC (which is not perfect either).
Yep, that's what I'm seeing on my Mits and Sony. All the DishHD channels look fine on my 30 inch Samsung...and I'm sure they would look stuffing if I could play them on my 4 inch PocketDish.
Anyway, I had some old VOOMHD 1920x1080i recordings (Bubba Ho-Tep for one) on my 942 prior to turning it back into Dish for a second 622. The direct comparisons of Bubba Ho-Tep 1920x1080i versus 1280x1080i were huge in my opinion. Anyway, what did you use to capture those images? I've looked at various Media Center options, but so far nothing has really captured my attention (pardon the pun).
I hate to complain so much about HD-Lite, but I'm getting to point where 75% of the stuff I'm watching is OTA HD or some SD news/sports programming. Actually, now that I have a Slingbox and can watch sports programming from my home town, along with the fact I have a *C HD receiver/satellite system en en route so I watch my home town sports teams (Detroit HD) along with West Coast HD (Seattle), CBCHD/TSNHD (Hockey), there is even less value with my DishHD subscription with each passing day.

I just used my didigital camera which it is not perfect but gives a representation of the problem.
