High definition television is a thing of beauty. I watched the Colts-Steelers game on Cox Channel 703 (which is the high-def feed from KOSA) and the picture quality is just amazing.

Of course, since the universe is self-balancing, I then had to watch the Panthers-Bears game on Fox, whose signal quality is not only not high definition, it is unbeleivably lousy to boot.

Fox's signal (and Channel 3 for that matter) produces a picture that is reminiscent of the mid-sixties.

In a rural area.

In freakin' Nigeria.

Bless Mr. Bushman for actually putting some resources into his station (KOSA) and delivering a high-def signal waaayyy before the competition.

Does anyone know if the other local affiliates plan to bring high-def to the area before the government actually makes them do it?

And.....just wondering here....if getting a high-def feed from the local affiliates meant having to give up their local news coverage, would you make the trade?
