TV coverage on KDOC

[photomike]

Anybody else notice how disgusting the picture looked on this telecast? Why on earth would any potential new fan of the NHL want to ever watch a game again if that was their 1st time viewing? Hey Bettman, if you can get your midget head to stop bobbling for a minute, take notice of how bad our sport looks on the tube and you might find a reason for low ratings. FSW is terrible as we all know, and their HD picture is still much lower of quality than ESPN or TNT. But KDOC has zero business broadcasting games looking like that. Versus showed highlights of the Ducks v. Stars and the picture was clear as a bell. You know its bad when you can watch on NHL network rebroadcasts of games from the early 80's and that looks much better than that of KDOC and FSW broadcasts...

My god it's happened

We've finally run out of things to criticize about the Ducks for.

Now we are just coming up with stuff that is old material.

don't now how this is old. it's playoff hockey and they give us this crap. it's an embarrassment. no other sport does this to the fans..

I personally like it on KDOC. Mainly because I don't have cable tv and that it's actually on a free channel.

Then again, I may not have a big screen tv... or ever seen a sporting event on HD tv, so none of it bothers me.

I remembered how the Kings were on KCAL9 at one point, and even the Ducks too.

I'm guessing your TV sucks.

I am willing to bet that Time Warner also compresses the hell out of KDOC.

ive never once seen hockey in HD either.

I'm sure its great, but I don't really feel a burning desire to spend money in that way.

No I have DirecTV and the picture is horrible on both of my LCD's. It's almost like an anolog picture...

May I recommend watching a game or two in HD?

Then maybe the burning desire will kick in!!!

Watch a game on a crystal clear signal on an LCD or plasma, and you'll forever be changed. I'm not saying you'll drop the coin to get all that stuff, but you'll start wondering why your picture doesn't look as good as it does on HD.

The signal from KDOC sucks. They have old equipment and the result is a poor picture. This is not my opinion. My cousin works for the Pond and I asked him about it once.

I switched immeditely to the Avs/Wild game (which was in HD) and the difference was ridiculous. I dont even like watching TV anymore if I can't find it on HD.

I realize I am a bit older than many of the posters on here and can afford it more easily, but how you can some of you not have HD by now? It isn't exactly cutting edge technology. You can get an HD TV for $400. I feel really sorry for the guy that said he said he doesn't even have cable. I had cable when I was ten years old.
