If the racing weren't exciting to watch I wouldn't be able to stand watching this crap. It's far worse than any mp3 recording.
Colors washed out, frame rate horrible and distorting every view as they come across the scene, blurry. It's just plain horrid. I've seen better quality video from home camcorders in the early nineties.
Seriously, get with the friggin' times. Seeing Olympic coverage on NBC back to back with this is beyond a joke.

Whew, I thought SPY's TV was crapping out on him.

As for Barros they said he struggles with the starts because the superbikes have significantly less technology than the GP bikes and it'll take him a while to adjust. I guess the starts are where this lack of technology is most evident. They said he was lapping as quickly as the lead group... just started way back.

The local official broadcasts of the Olymipcs were in the shitty format, yet came across crystal clear.
Find someone that actually works in broadcasts and has full knowledge of them (like my younger brother who is just getting home from working in Torino for the Olympics and does solid work for the ESPN channels, NBC and others) and they could tell you just watching what is wrong with the systems.
Go back to your hole where people actually buy into your all-knowing horseshit.

I thought Eurpean tv actually was broadcast at a higher res then here?

Ah yes, typical boofy deflection of truth and fact.
Picture quality may be excellent compared to what they normally get, but that doesn't mean it's excellent compared to what is normally seen for brodcasts here.

Back to your regular scheduled nose up the ass of anything anti-American.

RR, I won't even pretend to know all the technical differences, but I have a brother that makes a living doing so. He's gone off about why euro broadcasts look so horrid in the past, and was laughing at the local broadcast equipment used during the Olympics, although they were better quality than normal over there.
At any rate, the technology is lacking there and isn't close to the same resolution typically seen from the big broadcast companies here.

Good to hear his lap times are on par with the lead guys. I hope he can get some decent starts and battle it out with the Troy's

I knew PAL had a higher vert res. So, if the tv's capable of showing a better picture, it must be the cameras and broadcasting equip that are not up to par if the pic is worse.?.?.?


NTSC is based on a 525-line, 60 fields/30 frames-per-second, at 60Hz system for transmission and display of video images. This is an interlaced system in which each frame is scanned in two fields of 262 lines, which is then combined to display a frame of video with 525 scan lines. NTSC is the official analog video standard in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, some parts of Central and South America, Japan, Taiwan, and Korea.

PAL is the dominant format in the World for analog television broadcasting and video display and is based on a 625 line, 50 field/25 frames a second, 50HZ system. The signal is interlaced, like NTSC into two fields, composed of 312 lines each. Several distinguishing features are one: a better overall picture than NTSC because of the increased amount of scan lines. Two: since color was part of the standard from the beginning, color consistency between stations and TVs are much better. There is a down side to PAL however, since there are fewer frames (25) displayed per second, sometimes you can notice a slight flicker in the image, much like the flicker seen on projected film. Countries on the PAL system include the U.K., Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, China, India, most of Africa, and the Middle East.

I just called him and asked for a simple explanation and it all has to do with the raw formats of the production equipment. EVERYTHING is translated to a final format depending on where it is going, but the raw camera recordings and production formats are the difference. The translated T.V. format doesn't really matter much. Where it counts is the equipment quality and their native raw formats.

So, my assumption didn't make and ass of me....sweet.

no respect for the reigning world champ (and my prediction to take the title), Troy Corser!!???.......in race two, his front tire was done, but he was still able to hold Bayliss off(who was riding the wheels off that Duc)....give Corser some love!!!

You don't think Bayliss' tires were just as done?

Maybe it's time BDA bought a new TV

Naa...he explained it. It's the production equipment they use over there, not the tv. The pic quality of the races DOES suck compared to the normal programming over here.

Need a new T.V.? Sure, why not. Question is, which of the six I currently have should I upgrade?

Replace the plasma or lcd and send the old one to me.
