BWHAHAHAHAHA!! Great move Blazers. Comcast can afford to bombard the airwaves with "DEMAND COMCAST FROM YOUR BLAHBLAHBLAH" commericials, yet they have cameras that make the Zapruder film look like it was shot in 1080 HD!
I fuckin hate Comcast and all this shit. I'm tired of trying to watch games on the computer that is such crap quality. And I hate we're 1-3. Stupid Comcast, I hate you.
Totally ridiculous picture quality. It's frustrating because (a) EVERY other channel showing the NBA (even the crappier channels) look markedly better, and (b) obviously a lot of time and effort and talent is being used on every other aspect of the broadcast, from camerawork to graphics to stats. It all just looks like ass. Ed O.
The cameras the Blazers use are absolutely dreadful! The clarity is fuzzy, high yellow levels, the color is just way off. It's been like this for years. When a game is on ESPN and CSNW at the same time you can really tell the difference when you flip back and fourth. I would guess these cameras haven't changed since the late '80s.
You guys too? I'm in Cali with league pass and I just switched to HDMI with my HD box and it still looked like ass. Is this what I should expect with all the Blazer broadcasts?
Wait now... it isn't the Blazers! The quality on channel 8 is fantastic... and it is all the same equipment! It is comcast... and I think they are doing it to force their own customers to upgrade to digital so they can get HD? Here is what I just sent Larry Miller: How sad is it that 55 or so of the Blazer games this year are on comcast AND I CAN'T EVEN TELL WHO THE PLAYERS ARE! DirecTV and Dish customers are mad enough... but really would they want to see that fuzz? People are watching feeds on the internet with better quality! How crazy is that? And to top it off... if I could... I wouldn't deal with Comcast at all. I was with DirecTV and I would have gladly paid the money for NBA league pass to be able to see all the Blazer games, but Comcast blacks them out... so I had to switch to Verizon... and now I get nothing but a blurry mess. I have been a Blazer fan since about 74... when I was so small I was shooting jump shots with my socks into a hamper while listening to Shonley on the radio. I bleed Blazer red. Personally... I believe Comcast is broadcasting that crap to try to *force* people to switch to Comcast to watch the games in HD... the *only* way to see a Blazer game in Portland and actually know who is on the court. (They are trying to get their own customers to switch to digital package to get games in HD too...) Sadly... I will probably just have to go back to listening to games on the radio... like I did over 30 years ago.
I have comcast and it was not in HD at all. So your point is ... not valid? But I agree, it looked like garbage.
I watched the game on a terrible stream with Spanish announcers and could hardly follow the ball or even tell if the ball went in the hoop. Really makes me feel apart of the Blazers.
I saw it that way, too. Could hardly listen to it, it was horrendous. Tried watching and listening it to the radio, but the radio is a few seconds ahead, so that didn't work. It sucks.
I've had as my only option watching internet feeds from China and Spain, in their languages, stolen off a TV screen by phone cams. Fuck Allen for selling the fans out!
Can they fire the studio guys and put their salaries into improving the quality of picture? Does anyone actually care what those guys have to say?
I await HCP's explanation. Perhaps he's not feeding the gerbils that runs the Comcast cameras enough.
Do ya'll on your widescreen HD TV's change the picture settings to 4:3? It's still a low quality picture, but that way it's formatted more properly and is a little clearer and less fuzzy. Sucks that we have to do it for those of us who enjoy literally all other sports on television in beautiful HD, but it does make it watchable.
