bears game broadcast problem

Anyone else noticing problem with the bears game broadcast, static lines and pixles out of place... Yet the commercials display fine, this leads me to believe its not a problem with my equipment.

Yes, what you saw was what was being transmitted...

Interestingly enough, that signal could be recorded and played back identically....
At home, we recorded the OTA ATSC Stream and thought the hard drive was dying, until we saw the commercial that was pristine... That meant the checksums in the HD feed were intact (Prior to MPEG Conversion). Once we realized that, we just sat back and chuckled and watched to see what would happen next!

I'll bet there were some exciting times at FLD during that!!!!

("I can't fix it.... It's Coming In that way!!" ! )

Compression scheme obviously fell apart somewhere in between feed point (switcher), and reception at FLD.

(So much for redundant paths! ! )

Noticed that when I watched the DVR'd copy yesterday -- most of the first quarter video was garbage. Audio was good, and commercials just fine
