Superbowl - Broadcast Technology

[UncleDave]

Was it streamed in 4K last year? I wouldn't have noticed. I finally bought a 4K tv this summer. I have an aerial antenna that pulls in all the major networks in uncompressed 1080 which is very crisp usually. Had I known 4K streaming was an option, I would have tried it.

Whose 4K streamer are you using?

I thought the pregame was tasteful and the performers did a good job. Sullivan has one heck of a voice. Romo saves the day as one of, if not the, best commentators in football. Romo doing the math for us late to determine how much time the Chief's had to mount a comeback, that was awesome. He kept you engaged in a not so engaging game.

Half time show was ehh....Also hard to follow up Lady Gaga's show. And that was after a really good Katie Perry show.

CBS Sports coverage is weaker than Fox for sure. It's as if sports are an afterthought at CBS. They figure hire really good commentators and they will mask it.

Romo is a better broadcaster than he was a quarterback that is for sure.

We enjoyed the game, stepped out when the commercials were going on to tend to my burgers, to avoid all the nonsense stuff that gets rammed down my throat.

That worked out well, I actually wasn't ticked off at all.

Its interesting to note that what CBS delivered last night was way behind the technology curve and far short of what Fox brought you last year.

What we didnt get last night was any 4K, 1080P60 or what many consider even more important, HDR or high dynamic range.

They used the Covid excuse, but what you saw was a much cheaper and easier production.

Hard to tell watching ON my 27" CRT......

It's settled now. Brady is the GOAT and there's nothing Mahomes or anyone else can do about it. Not now not ever.

I mean Mahomes still has a lot of opportunity to win as many superbowls as Tom...but yeah I don't really see it happening.
So, for now Tom is the GOAT, but the future is long.
