At one point I called my parents in CR and they said the picture was fine so I have no idea what was going on...then again my parents think standard def stuff on an HDTV looks okay too.
If they are like my parents - if you get sound and a picture at the same time it's good enough.

This is weird and somebody else with Dish Network back me up. I thought the picture looked great! In fact, I was starting to wonder if it actually WAS an HD feed and they were just showing it in 4:3. Perhaps it was a problem with Mediacom or an issue with KWWL over the air with everyone else, but my view of the game on Dish Network was really good, much better than I was expecting after some of the talk yesterday.

The announcers were terrible, however. Just stumbled over their words all night long.
Directv (ESPN FullCourt) was worst picture I've ever seen from them-Don't know why.

I have Dish Network and thought the picture was horrible.

I watched on ESPN360 over my Xbox and that was without a doubt the worst video quality I have ever seen.

I have Dish Network, and I don't know what youre talking about unless we saw something completely different. I was wishing it would have stayed in black and white. At least it probably wouldn't have hurt my eyes as much. I checked in on ESPN at halftime to see an HD game, and the difference was unreal.
Were you watching on KWWL or the ESPN FC channel? I am wondering if something happened in the retransmission process because seriously I had no issues with the picture quality (I was watching directly off KWWL) all game long and I never saw it go to black and white temporarily like some have mentioned.

I watched it on Full Court and it was just awful for me as well. Complete amateur hour by KWWL and a disgrace.

KWWL is a local station that only does a handfull of live sports broadcasts each year.

The next closest alternative is to not have it on TV at all. It wasn't too long ago that it wasn't. Wouldn't that be fun?

It was brutal to watch with the contrast flipping back and forth between OK and blinding, but when I found out it was a KWWL production that eliminated my surprise. I used to work there, and I hate to pull the bitter ex employee card, but....it's a god-awful production department.

I am pretty sure this was the issue.

Oh, that makes sense if they needed a new floor anyways. Just seems odd that the floor needed replaced since the building isn't that old.

I think the old floor was moved from when they played in the UNIDUMP.
