HurlyBurly51 Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 I saw on CBS tonight they will be showing 3 of the 5 early games in HD, and we are not among them. I was really hoping CBS would step it up this year and invest more in HD to be able to televise all their games in HD, like Fox does. Must be embarrassing to have Fox outshining you so badly. Now we will have to deal with the week to week decisions on who will get the HD broadcasts, and more often than not the Bills are left out. PO'd that I have all this equipment and CBS can't deliver my Bills in glorious HD

/dev/null Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 i caught one of the plugs that phil simms did for their opening day lineup. first 3 games he had some quick little bit to say about each game last 2 games were "HoustonBuffaloAndCincinnatiCleveland"

As of now, CBS will not be showing any of the Bills game in HD through the first 4 weeks. Most likely the Falcons will be HD, as that game is on Fox. CBS only has the first four weeks posted, so lets hold are breath the Bills get off to a good start and get some of THREE HD games a week. What a freaking joke CBS !!!!!
TheMadCap Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 That's why I am waiting a few years to go with the HD reciever....
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 CBS on a regular TV set is HORRENDOUS. The images are fuzzy and there seems to be a "trail" that follows the action. And no, it isn't LSD induced either, you smart-arses.
eball Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 despite all of this, i'm still stoked about watching the DTV channel that will have up to 8 games on simultaneously. it's a fantasy football player's dream.

One shows 6 different news channels, one shows 6 different sports channels, and one shows 6 different cartoon/kids channels. You turn to those, see what's on, and then can flip to the "real" channel if you want to see it fullscreen. Kinda interesting, especially the sports one. I'm guessing it's similar to what they're doing with the NFL games this year. CW
BillnutinHouston Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 Maybe if the Bills win early, more of their games will be shown in HD. We can only hope.
HurlyBurly51 Posted August 29, 2005 Author Posted August 29, 2005 Petitioning CBS would do a lot more good than posting here. 420995[/snapback] Wow, didn't think of that. I wasn't interested in just passing on some info that I thought others would be interested in, I just thought TSW was the place to go for all of life's woes to get them resolved here.
AJ1 Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 Petitioning CBS would do a lot more good than posting here. 420995[/snapback] The posters who say national respect for the Bills is not an issue are 100% wrong. No respect = no HD broadcasts and scum-of-the-Earth booth announcers among other things.
Sen. John Blutarsky Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 I'll bet you the US Open Tennis final is shown in HD though....

No respect = no HD broadcasts and scum-of-the-Earth booth announcers among other things. 421735[/snapback] come on now...steve tasker is a future HOFer. he's hardly scum of the earth. unfortunately, he stinks as a broadcaster. your point is valid, however. while one could argue that CBS should be broadcasting ALL games in HD, until they do, they will put the expensive equipment at the venues involving teams with national appeal. the good news is that once the bills' D starts shoving people around and JP is making highlight reels w/ his flutie-like play, we'll start getting some props nationally.
stuckincincy Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 I'm ambivalent about HD, but why is it that a broadcaster or cable channel wouldn't broadcast in HD for live performances? Is it camera cost? Some sort of extra charge by the satellite owners?

Fezmid Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 available bandwidth & transponder space. It'll all be HD next year I'd bet. 421834[/snapback] I don't think that's the case -- I'm pretty sure it's equipment cost (it's much more expensive). I know bandwidth is the issue with delivering to the enduser (for both cable and satellite), but I don't think that has anything to do with filming. Of course I could be wrong. CW
