Excellent video quality and DD5.1 in Westchester County, NY (about 25 miles
north of NYC). I'm recording it on my high def TIVO, which is doing a fine
job, and enabling me to post this message without missing the half time show

Unwatchable in hd (San Francisco Bay Area)

Watching the game right now just about at halftime...

1 - Either this game is not being broadcast in HD, just being upscaled
2 - Or my cable provider (Adelphia) is not really showing it in HD
3 - Or SOMETHING is wrong someplace

Sorry, but the CBS game 2 weeks ago looked stunning. This looks aweful in
comparison

Sound is very choppy in Cleveland, OH. Noticed it before occasionally on
certain HD channels, but particularly bad today.

The local Fox digital OTA (KFQX-DT) transmitter has been off the air
most of today including all of SuperBowl. It has never broadcast HD,
only SD with poor audio. Had to watch the weak, noisy analog signal.
Typically broadcasters are way behind here in Grand Junction Colorado.

Watched the first qtr SD due to heavy pixelation and sound drops.
Everything was fine from then on. Comcast Sacramento, Ca.

Wow... that's interesting because the whole game was fine here, then a bit
of that popped up during the postgame broadcast. Comcast - Rancho Cordova,
CA.

I watched the SB start to finish, and it really looked and sounded
great. DD5.1, great PQ, no problem via OTA here in Pgh, PA.
Unfortunately, the Steelers were not on the screen.

I was getting an unusually weak signal (upper 60's as opposed to normally in
the upper 80's) with significant pixelation.

Same in SF Bay Area

Actually, it was very watchable in the San Francisco Bay Area, at least OTA
for me in southwest San Jose. After adding a cheap 10DB amp to my antenna a
couple of months ago, KTVU has been rock solid. However, this isn't the case
throughout the entire area, unfortunately. Perhaps it is the relatively high
frequency of their UHF channel (56) that is causing the most trouble.
