  • Comcast Broadcast

    This isn't a complaint and I'm sure everybody appreciates them doing the games. Can somebody tell me why the picture is a little blurry, is it because we're receiving the game on a plasma TV?


    And no I hadn't been drinking.....

    I noticed that, too, on watching the replay from my DVR. But I had the same problem with the CBI games broadcast last year by Fox College Sports. I think it's an inherant problem when a standard-definition broadcast is received on a large-screen, high-def TV. The large screen and high-def seem to enhance the deficiencies of the image.
    I wonder if Comcast will ever do the games in high-def?

      I didn't see the broadcast on an actual TV, but usually, SD broadcasts on a HD tv don't look so good. Is your picture stretched out or do you have black bars on the left and right sides of the game? If the picture is stretched out then you should be able to change settings to have it not be stretched out. Usually this helps with SD broadcasts.

        Yes it is stretched out. I'll try that on the next game, that is if I can figure out how.

            Yeah, when I got home from the game, then watched the game again on DVR the picture was brutal on the Plasma.

              Browsed thru the game on the Tivo when got home and the game was slightly blurry. More so the colors were not very sharp. It just seemed kind of dark when the camera man panned out. Overall wasn't to bad.

                Sorry you guys are not getting any pity from me. Try watching the game through the lousy internet streaming. Can you say choppy. I missed a lot of action because it was buffering.

                  I watched this on BUBraves TV over the internet and thought it was pretty good. I had no buffering issues, however I did have a few choppy moments. I plugged into the big screen TV and had a decent viewing experience. I would have hoped it had been a little clearer but hey, that's the internet.

                  I know there's better technology available (as I've seen games on ESPN 360) and hope that we adopt this soon. That would make things nearly flawless.

                  Overall, I was pleased. It sure beats the alternative -- no game

                    I ran the Horizon League network streaming video of the ISU-Wright St. game through my plasma TV, and the picture was better than the Comcast broadcast of the Bradley game. I don't understand why it looks so bad on Comcast. Are the cameras they're using not good or what.

                      I also watched the game on BuBraves.tv and it was a bit choppy, but not horrible. It didn't seem to be any better at all than last year, which was a little disappointing. Double R, I watched a couple Horizon league games on the web last year, and you are right, they are much better, not to mention free. I was hoping that we would have a similar system this year.

                        Blame whoever you want (tv, monitor, website, server, etc)... just settle down and relax... it all gets better on 1-20-09.

                          Boy MM you were partially right.

                          I had a better viewing of the game because I used the Horizon League's free video feed instead of the paid Bubraves.tv feed. The Horizon League was using the same cameras, so why was their feed soooo much better? Does anyone have an email address where we can offer some advise. As someone else said I'd be glad to pay a little more for some quality service. It just seems a little ridiculous that some of these free services are better then a paid one.

                            Comcast will have to purchase high-definition cameras before the broadcasts will be in high-def. Fox Sports hasn't purchased them yet, so I doubt Comcast will buy them anytime soon. But, you never know.

                            FWIW, Horizon League TV's broadcast has always seemed to be of higher quality than our streaming has been. Perhaps XO Communications should look into the technology that the Horizon League is using.
