Title: Is Anybody Else's TV Picture Absolutely Awful?
Post by: wadesworld on February 21, 2010, 01:06:17 PM
Watching the game on channel 7 in Milwaukee.  Is anybody else's screen about 2/3 black and 1/3 picture?  Also, it's very stop and go, almost like it's an online illegal stream.

The fact that in 2010 we still have to watch Marquette on WLMW is pretty sad.

It's the source coming from the arena.

Change your settings on your tv.  I'm actually using  my sling box to send it to my computer and took down the picture size so it looks very nice.  Anytime you take a poor source and blow it up to a large screen, it's going to look like crap.

Same here... commercials coming through fine, but game isn't.  I keep yelling TRAVEL! then realize it's my picture that's jostled.

You guys are seeing stuttering?  What provider do you have?  I'm not seeing any stuttering, just a soft video picture.

At least you guys can watch it. I'm in the NY blackout area for ESPN360 because the game is on MSG, which my carrier doesn't provide. To make things worse, ESPNmilwaukee isn't even broadcasting Homer and Mac. WTF?



EDIT: radio stream is on.

It is really sad that we are on WMLW and that one of the announcers called DJO Darius Odom- Johnson
Title: Re: Is Anybody Else's TV Picture Absolutely Awful?
Post by: stv1313 on February 21, 2010, 02:08:01 PM
Has anyone noticed that this play-by-play announcer calls every missed shot as "short" - no matter how the shot actually comes off the rim?

It is pretty embarrassing that UW is on the Big Ten Network in HD and Im watching the game on WMLW and it might as well be in morse code.  At least I know how many pixels my tv has now ?-(

Pic is awful.

Fulce still looks good though.  He looks like he is playing without thinking.  Like he just knows where he has to be and is letting his skills and instincts take over.  Nice to see and is needed to step up for Lazar.

What a POS telecast.

Espn should be embarrassed the whole damn thing was shoddy from "Odom-Johnson" all game from the moron announcers to 1970 quality tv picture.

The ESPN college basketball package offered by Comcast is the best $100 I spent this year.   It's all the games that aren't on national TV and on non-HD local broadcasts.  There's 6 channels of college basketball games.  The picture usually sucks... but it's better than watching it a computer.  Since most of our games haven't been picked up by the main ESPN channels, it's been money well spent, despite the non-HDness.

I live in New Jersey and watched on MASN via DirecTV. Picture soft but OK. Just don't understand why the game is not in HD. If the rest of the games are like this one I won't survive the season. Maybe I can get one of those law firms that sue anybody to sue the University for developing high blood pressure while watching MU basketball.

This is really amateur hour.  What does our AD do?  MU's local coverage and support has been pathetic for decades.  Granted BIG10 Network is powered by football, but the BE has to do better. WMLW is like a 56k dial-up feed.

ch 41 was awful

luckily i have the full court pkg, so i switched to that channel

that fact that these games aren't i hd is a joke. the fact sesame street isnt in hd is a joke too.

standard def is so 2004.

Try watching on ESPN360. 

If that game was the game of the day like the announcers repeatedly stated and that all the selection committee members were watching why was it only a 360 game.

WMLW is owned by the CBS affiliate. Why couldn't MU, baring a huge conflict of programing interest, ask to have the game be broadcast of the CBS feed? Just a thought. Though, I don't think CBS 58 is local HD yet either.

Must have been something screwy going on cause we watched the FSOH feed at BW3s in Oak Creek and it was in HD and everything with no quality issues whatsoever.
