In Reply to: Anyone notice a big improvement in tv picture quality over the weekend or today? posted by Geoffkait on May 5, 2025 at 14:58:03:
I'll have to take a closer look. Why? Should the TV look better today vs last week?
On a somewhat related note, I can switch between HD CableTV and HD Over-the-Air broadcasts for local major networks and PBS. While HD CableTV is fine, HD Over-the-Air is actually a little sharper. What's also interesting is that CableTV in my area is delayed almost a full minute vs over the air broadcasts. I can switch back and forth in real time.
Fun and games related to sports on TV:
If we have two TV's ON watching a sporting event I can watch the live broadcast (over the air) upstairs and "know ahead of time" if a player will score - or not. For example, my wife is watching the big TV down in the basement (via CableTV) and I'm upstairs getting a snack while the upstairs TV is receiving the live over-the-air broadcast nearly a full minute ahead of CableTV. I'll yell down to my wife, "he's going to score 100% guaranteed". Or "he's going to miss 100% guaranteed". I had her fooled for a while until she realized I was seeing the plays ahead of her.
