The State Of HD NFL

This is the first Sunday where I'm really feeling that HD coverage of the NFL has smoothed out to the point where I can watch the games and not worry about technical issues (usually on the carrier side rather than mine). The scheduling gods have graced me with HD Ravens, Steelers, and Eagles games today (no Buffalo, but hey...) and I'm taking some advantage of it. I really want to see all of the Steelers game, so I've done some chores in the first half of the Super Bowl XXXV rematch (looks like the 34-7 Ravens victory may be repeated). The single largest factor in the mainstreaming of HD NFL has to be FOX stepping up to the plate this season, offering 6 HD games each week. After some early-season glitches, their coverage now is quite nice and the games are a pleasure to watch. I hope CBS will increase their coverage next season to match.
