NBC-HD: XXVIII Summer Olympics : Opening Ceremonies 9pm EST

[squicken]

My back speakers are fine. Really nice sound experience. I'm getting nothing from 321 or 593-594. OTA HD is better, anyway. Those Sony commercials are also pretty cool.

The 321 sound is messed up. I am getting the central speaker sound on the back and not sorround sound. I switched to OTA the sound is fine in OTA.

 

[Ilya]

Make sure to turn on your subs!

 

[squicken]

Shouldn't this be on 110?

Ilya, thanks for the info. I switched over to NBC out of Richmond VA and... VOILA, I'm watching the Opening Ceremony. Ok, I'm in an O&O and 321 is working, but 593 and 594 are dead in the water.

I thought atlanta was on the list.... I am not getting anything

Ok lets hope they have more commercials then the Sony Commerical I have already seen a few times.

 

[Ilya]

I get none of those VOOM channels, but I get both versions OTA. Works for me.

Sound was fine the first few minutes, but crapped out somewhere along the way...

 

[squicken]

Agree Scott, my appreciation for the Sony commercials has worn off.

 

[Sean Mota]

I get 321 and 593 only and of course OTA

 

[Sean Mota]

Sony commercial again... Satelliteguys should have done their own commercial.

 

[Sean Mota]

Why do they cut to show that stupid commercial?

 

[vurbano]

I bet Vooms feeds are better than this crap I have to watch OTA at 14 mbps. Its on the verge of macroblocking and the pixels are flying.

 

[Dvlos]

Ok I have both NBC-HD on channel 321 and local 6, the PQ on LOcal 6 is just as good as 321 except 321 is broadcasting in Dolby Digital and sounds hella better.

- I liked Sony's HD commercial.. NICE!

I called Voom because it seems I won't have a Live SD feed, the CSR said they are trying to fix it, some people arent getting 321 and by tomorrow she thinks that one of the two 500 channels will be working for the SD feed.

Pic Quality is Spectacular

Watching opening ceremony on 321, i am blown away by pic quality of NBC HD, it is HDNet quality, Spectacular picture. We have the edge voom, my parents have cable, NBC will only air opening ceremony at 8 pm Pacific, so everyone has come to my house to watch Voom. They are all amazed

I bet Vooms feeds are better than this crap I have to watch OTA at 14 mbps. Its on the verge of macroblocking and the pixels are flying.

both are doing the same. My OTA is macroblocking as well and so is the voom on 321; macroblocking only happens during fast motion or bright fire lights.

 

[squicken]

there's supposedly some "tasteful" nudity. I wonder if they'll show it.

 

[Sean Mota]

Give some credit to Voom (for those that can get 321 and have no OTA); neither D* or E* have it on as far as I know.

 

[riffjim4069]

Right this minute, I am receiving NBC's Olympic coverage from Washington DC, Baltimore MD, Richmond VA, Charlottesville VA and VOOM...Yikes!
