Notice tonight how good the TNT picture is, then compare it to the ABC broadcast tomorrow night.
This is interesting, I'll take notice tonight. If you get the same difference in quality on all your receptions then the problem must be in how TNT transcodes & uplinks their content vs ABC/ESPN (Disney, no?)...I myself have seen differences between MSG Knick games & TNT Knick games (occasionally both deliver the same game), the MSG content does seem "washed out" (narrower color range) compared to the TNT content and the audio seems to be of lesser quality as well.

Also could be a camera issue, but I can't believe that TNT's camera are better than ABC's. (Maybe TNT uses HD cameras converted down to NTSC for b'cast? Who knows...)

Also could be that Tony's just plain nuts.
Hell ya I'm nuts! What's that got to do with it?

I'm telling you Dan, ABC's picture quality looks like it did when they had the NBA back in the seventies. Maybe they left the cameras in the arenas for the last 25 years.

BTW, I'd rather be nuts than short!
