The Media Drop

Last weekend, we finally got the DirecTV HD programming and dish set up so we could fully utilize the television we have at home, and while the number of channels available is kind of disappointing (and I don’t want to hear about cable this or that, I’m not changing), some of the programming is flat out staggering. That being said, I’m watching FOX’s coverage of the Yankees-Angels game this afternoon from Yankee Stadium, and the images aren’t really that pretty, whether over the dish or the over-the-air antenna I have. YES’ game film seems much better, and as we keep getting in-game scores from the Chicago White Sox game, I’ve gotta say that this is crappy, compared to others I’ve seen. Now I know that FOX uses 720p, and while the progressive has its advantages over interlaced, the 1080i is so far superior it’s not funny. That being said, what’s up with the garbage coverage at Yankee Stadium today compared to other games?
