Re: Philly Fox 29 loosing HD
said by Kearnstd  :nothing ever gets mixed over commericals. when i lived back in CT and was in school they wouldnt even run snow closings over an ad. im guessing the advertisers have something in the contract where their video cant have anything over it. Well that sucks, because for one, if they had news or some kind of ticker along the bottom of the screen during commercials... I am more likely to stay tuned, not leave the room, not skip over the block of commercials. While I might be reading the ticker at the bottom, that commercial is still running along with it's audio... so it's not like I'm oblivious as to what the current ad is for on TV. The fact they fudged up shows during primetime is a total lack of respect for the viewing audience. Either 1) Display updates during a local commercial segment, 2) Get equipment that doesn't ruin the HD experience when adding a scrolling ticker, 3) Just wait until the Fox 10 o'clock news. After all the real results aren't ready until around that time and later, so whats with all the updates. That's what the internet is for.
I was planning on writing Fox 29 a nasty e-mail, but I've decided not to, as it would just be a utter waste of my time. I'm sure that the PA primary's hold high importance than over say.. American Idol or Hell's Kitchen.
If you thought Idol's interruptions were bad, think again... Practically the entire episode of Hell's Kitchen was ruined due to their shotty graphics overlay system. I ended up using my TV's zoom in control, and I positioned the screen with the up arrow so that I saw more of the show vs. the annoying ticker. After these shows is the news, so If I want to know the results of the primary I'll stay tuned, or run to the computer. |
