Anyone guess as to when other New England Stations will begin live HDTV.
- Thread starter FRM-Yankey
- Start date
I am guessing NBC 30 in CT will have HD newscasts the day they start broadcasting from their new facility early next year.
I'm also assuming that WTNH would want the bragging rights of being the first CT station with HD newscasts. The station, as an NBC affil, was first with color for the 1954 Rose Bowl, the first to broadcast in HD 10 years ago, and was the first station on the air here 60 years ago.

WFSB is on from the new studios correct? They aren't in HD?
Burlington's FOX 44 newscast is in HD

Thanks KML.
Wonderful "Whale"? Have you ever seen HDTV? Sorry but Analog doesn't hold a candle to the picture quality and clarity of HDTV. Just about everyone who's seen both will agree.
On HD
I thought WCAX in Burlington was doing the newscasts in HD.

It's a HUGE difference when it's a show produced in HD. To be honest, the local standard definition of WTIC-DT, especially during the News At Ten, looks sub-par at best. Besides the gray pillarboxing on the sides, you get this awful checkerboard looking hash on the edges of the anchors' coats, etc. This is regardless whether it's on Comcast or with UHF channel 31 (WTIC-DT). You almost always have the same results with WTXX-DT during ther simulcast of their news.
I was referring to the NFL on FOX. I watched the Giants-Cowboys Game at my friend's house. We watched it on regular FOX 61 on Comcast Channel 6. The following week we watched the Giants-Packers game on FOX 61 HD on Comcast 234 and I couldn't tell the difference, unless of course that was because during that game I was under the influence of um Nyquil.
I echo KML. It's an enormous difference.
I find that OTA reception is much better than cable or dish satellite type.Marc B said:

That is because the cable & satellite companies are compressing the HD signal. What hits your TV at 15-16MBrate (OTA), may hit as low as 6 or 7MB over the cable / satellite plant.
>There's at least an extra 20 yards on the screen during an HD football game (10 yds on each side in 16x9).
Same time of thing I saw with the World Series. The wide shot of Fenway Park showed a wider shot of the stadium in HD. I noticed the picture when I was at a sports bar in North Haven, then made the comparison when I watched the game later on my home TV.
