    I asked a couple of co-workers about this yesterday and they all said that Fox HD blows CBS out of the water.

    If you remember correctly the NFL threatened to cancel CBS's NFL contract a few years back if they didn't get their shit together and broadcast ALL of their NFL games in HD. CBS was the last broadcaster to still show games in SD. I remember watching almost all the Ravens game in SD only a few years ago.

    So I highly doubt that the broadcaster that took the longest to get in line with full HD now has better HD then Fox. It just doesn't make sense.

    Maybe it's DirecTv but I highly doubt it.
    I've heard people say they found CBS's better but I've always had way better results with fox's HD.

    CBS broadcasts just feel old to me. I don't know why.

    Leafs offseason training!

      Last season I was only getting Fox's games in 720p, but they were both 1080i this year. I use an over the air antenna.

        Yes, I'm sure. CBS is more clear than Fox most of the time. Sometimes it will be the other way around but its not that often. This is Dish Network btw.

        I'm not saying CBS's signal is better, its just better when it gets here.


        Fox has always been grainy and ghosty here. I'm not sure why and don't get me wrong, its not like its terrible, just noticeably different.
        I don't find myself saying " I can't watch Fox". Plus, my comparison is on 106" of screen

                              A serious +1. Everyone needs a reminder of Dave's shelving thread every once in a while.

                                ^exactly what I thought of. We should bump that thread.

                                Pretty simple over here, been wanting to get some speakers or a soundbar.
