Post by: guttboy on February 10, 2006, 08:49:41 PM: Good Luck to them all!!!!!!!!

Opening ceremonies are very cool....however...NBC's HD coverage is less than optimal....they cant seem to get their cameras in focus....this happens quite a bit with HD I think because it is in its early stages I suppose...

Great stuff otherwise....I love the Winter Olympics!!!!

For your resistance gives me strength.
Your will gives me courage.
Your spirit ennobles me.
And though I aim to defeat you, should I succeed, I will not humiliate you.
Instead, I will honour you.
For without you, I am a lesser man.

Goodluck cold nation types...except in hockey. ;)

Post by: midnight Target on February 11, 2006, 09:59:47 AM: In every opening ceremony of every Olympics there is a "WTF??" moment.

Like the parade of pick-up trucks in Atlanta.

This year it was 2 things....

The raising of the little flags on the backs of the Tyrolean horn blowers made me laugh.

The dancing cows... nuff said.

Growing up in the Midwest, the only mistake I thought they made with the cows was not tipping them over.

Xr Toronto....the feed is the same for all the NBC HC feeds....

How can you compare the out of focus, albeit for few seconds, on many of the shots...how about the aerials of the stadium? They have the capability to do so they just need to refine there coverage.....with saying that I am trying to watch this on a 120" screen in my home theater so I am a bit of a junkie when it comes to HD....LOL.....the large screen shows up even the slightest imperfections.

MT,

Attending an agricultural school in California means that I am one of a select few California natives who have participated in the cow-tipping ritual. It's kinda fuzzy, but I remember it requires beer.

Post by: lasersailor184 on February 11, 2006, 11:12:56 AM: It does require beer, and it requires quick feet. Also, a touch of stealth, not a lot, just a touch.
