Blooming on NBC via Adelphia cable

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

Sunday night we noticed blooming of reds on the HD NBC feed from
Adelphia. Was this just on our cable provider or a problem at the source?

Thanks,

Chip Gallo

Well, we're using a SmartCard plugged into a Panny 42" plasma set.
Haven't noticed the problem again so maybe NBC was having some hardware
problems ...
