I guess you know by now about it after NBC repeated the commercial like 1,000,000 during the olympics.

Hurry D*-gimme my NBCHD in time for the New Fall Line-up-IT'S STARTING!!!!!

 

[Sean Mota]

My screen went dark with just NBC logo and then SD for a few minutes and then HD. Anyone else?

HD all the way through here, except for the annoying news brief about Kobe. Picture looked good most of the time, but VERY pixellated during motion (car chase scene in the beginning in particular).

Not a bad show.

 

[TheTimm]

In Detroit, the HD switch didn't get flipped until about four minutes into the program. Not a bad show, but I think I like North Shore better.

 

[Sean Mota]

I got the same pixellated picture during fast motion... Do you have subchannel? My local NBC does....

 

[Sean Mota]

If you missed it, it will be repeated Friday Sept 3 at 10pm

Didn't have the WOW factor like CSI
PQ just didn't pop for me

 

[tdillon]

I checked the program several times during the hour. Local Los Angeles affiliate never flipped the HD switch, it was 480i during the entire show. This is typical for this station.

HD the whole time in DC area...no sub channel here yet it still pixelated like it was suffering from low bandwidth. My friend with COX cable experienced the same pixelization.

Horrible around here (Portland, OR)

They show it 16:9 on 4:3. In other words it had black bars on top, bottom, right and left

 

[Dvlos]

Was the show good? I thought it was a fluff show, not like CSI. But I was busy boarding up the house...

 

[bbqman]

Nothing great. If there is something better that comes along in the same time frame it would not bother me to miss it. YMMV

 

[Flambe]

In Seattle, they didn't flip to true HD until 3/4 the way through

Ok show, but after this & the Olympics, I'm thinking that NBC are as dumb about HD technology as the folks at FOX are.

-F

I'm glad I went out drinking with a couple of ladies last night since Portland Frilled up again, no HD for us, I'll have to try again Friday. Same with Father of the Pride, they totally hosed the show, it was 1/2 HD, 1/2 SD.

 

[Couch Patato]

Here in Denver to intro was in HD but there was no center channel. At least no vocals. After it came back it was not in HD for the rest of the show but the sound was ok. I think KUSA had problems with the audio & HD.

Hawaii vs. North Shore

For what it's worth, in my opinion "Hawaii" wins the battle betwen the two Hawaii-based shows (kinda cool that they're on back-to-back for easy comparison). PQ is definitely better than "North Shore". And I like the story better, too -- it's a little more classic cops-n-robbers and a lot less Melrose Place-soap-opera-crap. Only thing North Shore has over Hawaii (and it's no little thing) is hotter - much hotter - chicks.
