Re: Philly Fox 29 loosing HD
It's because their insertion gear was adding in that ticker across the bottom with the PA primary results. I know it pissed me off too, they should of waited for commercials for the ticker scroll.
I guess the computer that adds in those graphics can't handle mixing in HD from Fox at the same time, so it would turn the feed into SD, then a minute later the ticker would come on. When the ticker went off, a minute would go by and then it would turn HD again.
They ran the ticker practically through the entire episode of Hells Kitchen. It Pissed me off. CBS was not as intrusive with their PA primary polling updates. |

| Pissed me off too here in central NJ. Not only did the picture shrink from 16:9 to 4:3 and the sound field collapse from 5.1 to stereo with each FREQUENT ticker insertion, but the overall VOLUME of the digital audio kept dropping abruptly as well. My family found that more disturbing than anything else. You could turn up the volume to compensate but then when they reverted back it would be blasting. Very annoying when trying to listen critically to the Idol performances (which, judging by last night's results, was obviously NOT what the people who voted were doing!) And the extra-long delay from the end of the visible ticker until the return to HD/5.1 was ridiculous.
Can't wait for Verizon to enable FiOS TV here so I can tap into the HD network feeds out of New York City. If it had been in place the other night I would have just flipped to NY FOX 5 HD (or more likely I would have been watching that channel to begin with and not even known about the WTXF HD issue  ). |
