That explains it. I started watching at the beginning, and
all shots were in low def so I turned it off. I tuned in again
after it had been going on about 2 hrs, and a few of the shots were
in hi def. Guess it was too much trouble for them to
carry their hi def cameras to the sub 15 holes.

Tomorrow, I'll just record the whole thing on my hard disk
and watch later. that way, I can fast forward the ugly
low def and see the last few minutes in hi def.

I just connected up my 1st OTA HD antenna - my old standard TV antenna - no
just laying on top of the roof - ran it into the back of the Samsung 360,
scanned, it worked great! HD in San Jose I'm pretty sure.
