CSNW is the worst picture ever. It is like watching VHS tapes on a big screen TV... even the close ups look like I have the wrong prescription in my classes. It is much worse than regular SD channels. I'm complaining to the Blazers and comcast... what a piece of crap.
 
Is it on league pass?
 
I have verizon... so I don't have league pass.
 
nevermind. guess it's just not in hd. it's on 759 with directv.

this does indeed suck.

I have it on Verizon and it looks like crap. I got new glasses today, but that's not the problem. My son was saying how bad it looked .......... we messed with our picture, but it is the broadcast.

Why doesn't Comcast broadcast these in HD?:dunno: It looks great on KGW.
 
yeah go over to ESPN and see the difference in PQ...much better.
 
Hey guys, you can watch the game on a pretty good stream if you sign up for NBA League Pass Broadband. THey give you a free trial until 11/11.
 
I tried to take pictures of the Blazers... then a game on ESPN (reg def and high def). Not sure if they will come out. I can hardly tell who the players are on CSNW.

Not in Portland Metro. So instead, I'm watching Nuggets/Warriors in crystal clear HD as well as the commercials of their advertisers.

I see on ESPN.com com that the Blazers are down by one though. Oh well...

Tell me who the 4 blazers on the court are. How damn sad is it that in this day in age the broadcast is so damn poor you can't tell who the players on the court are!

BWHAHAHAHAHA!! Great move Blazers. Comcast can afford to bombard the airwaves with "DEMAND COMCAST FROM YOUR BLAHBLAHBLAH" commericials, yet they have cameras that make the Zapruder film look like it was shot in 1080 HD!
 
I fuckin hate Comcast and all this shit. I'm tired of trying to watch games on the computer that is such crap quality. And I hate we're 1-3. Stupid Comcast, I hate you.
 
Totally ridiculous picture quality. It's frustrating because (a) EVERY other channel showing the NBA (even the crappier channels) look markedly better, and (b) obviously a lot of time and effort and talent is being used on every other aspect of the broadcast, from camerawork to graphics to stats.

It all just looks like ass.

The cameras the Blazers use are absolutely dreadful! The clarity is fuzzy, high yellow levels, the color is just way off. It's been like this for years.

When a game is on ESPN and CSNW at the same time you can really tell the difference when you flip back and fourth.

I would guess these cameras haven't changed since the late '80s.
 
You guys too? I'm in Cali with league pass and I just switched to HDMI with my HD box and it still looked like ass. Is this what I should expect with all the Blazer broadcasts?
 
Wait now... it isn't the Blazers! The quality on channel 8 is fantastic... and it is all the same equipment! It is comcast... and I think they are doing it to force their own customers to upgrade to digital so they can get HD? Here is what I just sent Larry Miller:

How sad is it that 55 or so of the Blazer games this year are on comcast AND I CAN'T EVEN TELL WHO THE PLAYERS ARE! DirecTV and Dish customers are mad enough... but really would they want to see that fuzz? People are watching feeds on the internet with better quality! How crazy is that? And to top it off... if I could... I wouldn't deal with Comcast at all. I was with DirecTV and I would have gladly paid the money for NBA league pass to be able to see all the Blazer games, but Comcast blacks them out... so I had to switch to Verizon... and now I get nothing but a blurry mess.

I have been a Blazer fan since about 74... when I was so small I was shooting jump shots with my socks into a hamper while listening to Shonley on the radio. I bleed Blazer red. Personally... I believe Comcast is broadcasting that crap to try to *force* people to switch to Comcast to watch the games in HD... the *only* way to see a Blazer game in Portland and actually know who is on the court. (They are trying to get their own customers to switch to digital package to get games in HD too...)

Sadly... I will probably just have to go back to listening to games on the radio... like I did over 30 years ago.
 
Wow... getting that 46 inch Sharp HDTV with the HD box really paid off...
