I did watch parts of the Bucs vs Cin. game tonight on channel 32.1 and although it's a HD OTA signal and looked really good....why is the MNF game on ABC 28.1 OTA so much better ?

I have D* as my provider.

Is this b/c they " up converted " the broadcast on 32.1 ?
Are all the MNF games filmed with HD cameras and that's reason it looks this good ?
I am new to HD and don't fully understand all of this but it looks dam* good !

The game was upconverted, not HD.
Since this game was not supposed to be on Monday, night it wasn't really MNF. It was Saturday football played on Monday Night. Also channel 32 doesn't do any HD, they simply do DTV or digital TV, just like 38, 66, 22, 16, and a few others I can't think of off hand.

On the bright side Fox is doing over 90% of their games in HD this year on sunday afternoons. And since the bucs play on fox with the exception of 4 games with any luck we will get to see them in HD during the regular season almost every week. I am really excited.
