Fox Cameras Grainy? (1 Viewer)

Since many people here have stated they did not have the same experience as you, did it ever occur this could be a "you" problem or isolated with assignable cause? Maybe a problem with the device being used to watch or possible a problem with local providers transmission?
Just sayin' ... Mater faithful are always looking to place blame.

I wouldn't be so quick to jump on the guys case, I can agree with him. As far as some stating they don't.. my buddy won't pay extra for an HD package vs an SD package because he says he "can't see any difference." There is a difference.
I've watched it streaming online with an 85mbps internet connection providing the best quality available, and on a 60 sharp aquos HD tv with Dish Network as my provider. I didn't initially notice, but after it being brought to light, yes there is a difference. You can see blurryness around the edges, you can see multiple colors in the white of the wall, it is certainly not as clear as the ESPN productions. I also noticed segments that have not been de-interlaced. Something you're supposed to do to digital footage to get the sound lines out of it. I'm no production expert, and the coverage is liveable with the way it is shown, but it is definitely of a lesser quality. It reminds me of when ESPN used to leave Paul Page and 2 cameras to cover very little remaining monday racing after a rain out. You can tell the quality isn't there, there isn't any graphics, and the sound is clearly mixed in and overdubbed.

I do have HD and everychannel and show is fine, yesterday it was happening on Nascar and they fixed it.
I watch the show prior to this and had no issues at all, i don't know what others are seeing but I'm sure about whats happening here.
Jim you have complained about almost every post thats been on here. You need to lighten up a little.

Works fine to me eyes on DirecTV. If anyone complains has Comcast, I'm not surprised. A bit of research shows they heavily compress their HD signals resulting in graininess and artifacts. That's partially the reason why I refuse to switch my TV service to them.

I have Directv also and everthing works great except that feed from Pomona, its like there's bad weather, it really doesn't make much since especially when others aren't having issues. Maybe I'll watch bull riding it works. Lol

Today is a huge day for NHRA. Although FOX is just a portal and another company is producing its huge for them as well. I was let down so much to the point of being pissed off at Qualifying formatted show. Now it's time for someone to earn a paycheck.

My comments are related to producer format only. Just passing along.

I agree Steve, when i could see it , hard to follow like they're are trying to put the whole show in a short period of time. I would rather they had a 2 hr qualifying show Saturday night.
The broadcast was reasonable as far as clarity but the production and commentary seemed like something that was produced by the local high school audio visual department. I was and remain most discouraged by the presence of TP. Now in addition to that I feel I am watching something with the production characteristics, scripting and editing of a "Our Gang" movie. .20 min into the second qualifying show I simply pushed the delete button and looked on the web site to see the final qualifying order. I suspect that's how I will find out who won.

Tony Schumacher just lost to Terry Mcmillen in the first round....at least I think it was him.....very jagged and blurry again and I adjusted my TV every which way.....
Seriously ?? The last 2 days have been nothing but complaint threads by members here ...- Ripping the FS1 broadcast after its FIRST EVER 1 hour NHRA show
- Ripping NHRA for letting Dunn go
- Ripping TPed after his first 1 hour show in the booth
I have Comcast and a basic 1080p HD TV ... absolutely crystal clear !!Tony Schumacher just lost to Terry Mcmillen in the first round....at least I think it was him.....very jagged and blurry again and I adjusted my TV every which way.....

Oh my god ... do you guys get mad when your favorite team loses a pre season game to? First show of the new season with a new package and your all friggin' critics.
It's actually embarrassing how the expectation is instant perfection. STOP IT.
Now, in addition to keyboard crew chiefs we have keyboard TV executives. Wish I was the best
I just want to slap the sh*t out of you right now. You seem to always peek out enough to tell people they should be like you, then you try and make them feel bad for not being like you, then, you crawl away.
The only keyboard hero I see here is you Jim Bowen.
You are the quintessential wannabe leader of the board. You never like anything unless it's in cheerleading mode.
You don't "wish you were the best", you've already made your mind up, and everyone else is lesser than, their opinion, their experience, you actually think you are the best, and everyone should fall in line to your thinking.
You're as swishy as you imply everyone else is.
PS...My TV was fine, but then I think if someone didn't have top notch HD signal, they can and should discuss it.
Who the f*ck are you? You STOP it you sissy whiny princess.
