Re: Decrease in HD "Sharp"ness
Thanks KA-
I think you nailed it. I have a ticket opened - but if you feel like helping via contributing a thread in the Direct forum, naturally i'd appreciate it.

| Hey JeepMatt,
My wife noticed when watching TNT HD NBA last night, the court does not have the polished look like it used to. I watched portions of the game and noticed the court shine flickers. We would like this fixed ASAP.  |

1 edit | Their first reply was - the Network Team looked at the HD channels and they were "fine".
Now that I Have more ammo to give them - I hope I get a real answer this time.
I won't know though until this afternoon at the earliest, as Gustavo is in CA and doesn't start the Direct threads until the PM. |

| I don't have a HD box so I'm missing out on all the fun it seems. Shame.
They (network technicians) always initially say things are "fine" even when there's a problem until you raise a big stink about the problem. (See: the HBO VOD problem that I was experiencing, and I'm still experiencing, and will apparently continue to experience until August).
Maybe it's time for a bunch of users here to file complaints with the presidential appeal/complaint number about the crappy service around the Philly area? |

I might file a complaint about the VOD service in general. It is like watching a you tube video with all the compression/encoding. Where is all this bandwidth we hear about? |

| I think we may be in business.
After hanging outside a bit, and coming back in, all of a sudden, Food HD has that pop again.
Perhaps the problem has been fixed!

Jeep. I Dunno bout' dat.
FoodHD looks BETTER, but HGTVHD looks the same. Still looks WORSE than it originally was. Maybe it's only the current program. I'll keep watching.

| said by JeepMatt :KA- MHD has that pop again this morning as well. I think we're back. I was watching the Tudors on SHO HD last night and it looked very grainy.
BTW I also got around to watching LOST last evening. All I can say is WOW. Comcast's local HD feeds SUCK compared to this. |

2 edits | I'm off today-
And it looks like we're back to where we were last night. Something was switched again.
The grainy-ness is back...the sharpness is gone.
Grrrrr...
AND - even though they acknowledge the problem as of yesterday - apparently i'm the only who's actually opened a ticket regarding it.
SO - anyone else out there in PA / DE - please call in and open a ticket - or put a thread in the Direct forum here. |

2 edits | It's amazing.
I'm watching the same exact show this AM that was on Food HD last night - and the picture is much worse.
Can't get much better of a comparison than that!
Showtime HD looks like garbage.
I really hope they come through today and fix this.
Verizon! I have THIRTY people coming to a BBQ this weekend that will see FIOS TV...will they see a great picture that was back for a short time last night? Or the dull grainy one I have yet again today?
Hope you decide on the former! |

| Jeep, we are heading into a 3 day weekend.
What do you want to bet they will leave at 5PM tonight, and not give it another thought until Tuesday??
Another typical Fios TV weekend in Philly.
