Was it just me or was channel 613 reception for BHN subscribers just plain crappy during the Bucs game? Not that it matters much since they found a way to lose this game against an inferior team. Now with the Cowboys v Redskins game coming up I saw really bad artifacting during the preview for the game. Really sad that Faux can't get their act together for NFL football.... :roll: :roll: :roll:

Yea, I had artifacting every 5-10 secs. But my issues were with OTA broadcasts. Hmmm.

I received the same choppy, blocky signal via BHN as well. It was so bad I switched over to the SD broadcast, which is something I almost never do :evil: . I checked back from time to time on both the Bucs and Cowboys games. The Cowboys game was a better, but still difficult to watch. Very disappointing.

BTW, all the other HD channels I checked were fine, although only a few were broadcasting in HD. Must have been a FOX glitch.

It seems to me...for how much Fox paid to televise NFC games that they would get their act together for NFL games. It was terrible to watch the digital broadcast and the SD PQ was awful plus the sound seemed muffled. Then it had to continue into the Dallas game... :roll:

I also wanted to comment that one of the announcers on Faux, Tim Green, has got to be one of the worse sports announcers on TV. Having to listen to that jacka$$ clown while watching the Bucs play like crap really topped off the day :roll:

The bucs game was not broadcast in widescreen OTA or on BHN. I had the same problems with both feeds.

Not too many problems with the Redskins game - it was in Widescreen but I wasn't paying too much attention to the game.
