Don't get me wrong... I am not disappointed...but I was looking forward to seeing Melissa Stark in HD.  Anyone know what happened to her?

[Todd Wiedemann]

She left to have a baby ... I believe that she's going to work on the Today show, next.

[Randy Spaulding]

Anyone having reception problems? Seems like signal strength is lower than normal. I'm out in West Bend.

[Tom Snyder]

Hmm... I'm getting an 88 in Germantown.. pretty typical.

Mine's great, but it's over TWC :cool:

Now this is how to watch a football game!!!

[torgo]

Now I just need an HD Tivo. This is why I spent the money on this TV and receiver!!

[drgingras]

Pay close attention, Fox - this is why digital needs to be done in 720p:D

BTW, nice to see some of the local spots hyping the HD. Spread the word !

Anyone else hearing the raindrops in the rear speakers? HA! Cool!

[gb4fan92]

yeah I was going to run and close my windows and realized it was the speakers! (well it coulda been!)
A Football rain delay?? Sure it had to be a Packer game!

[torgo]

I thought that it was someone tapping on my wall, until I hit the Mute button.

[Gregg Lengling]

Did Selig call the game....oh wait a minute this isn't baseball and that wasn't the All Star Game!
:eek: :bang: :bang: :bang:

[drgingras]

Waited 3 weeks for some meaningful rainfall in our area. Tried the usual surefire raindances: washing the car, hanging laundry outside, even picknicing.

Guess I shoulda put the plasma out in the yard:rolleyes:

Short but sweet!

The explanation from ABC for the SD format for the first 20 minutes:

Exactly at 8pm ET, at the top of the show, a interfering carrier came up on the backhaul satellite path from Canton to ABC New York and interfered with HDTV backhaul signal. You may have seen a few seconds of digital hash before the ABC HD release facility went to an upconverted version of the Standard Definition network feed. The interference cleared at approx 8:05pm, but we chose to stay on the upconverted feed until the cause of the interference could be identified. At approx 8:20 we learned the source of the interference and had assurances that it would not be repeated, and went to the HD feed.
