FSN Production Is Horrible

[Invader3K]

Do the colors in today's game look a little oversaturated?

 

As an aside, has there been any more word on when Charter is supposedly going to add the HD feed?

[jazzytrav]

It's just that much more colorful in a big market http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

That audio problem is so bad. How do they not fix it? Are they not aware of it?

I to am a Charter customer and also wondering when the HD feed will be available. I'm going to be getting an HD TV soon and I want to see the Brewer games as such.

That audio problem today was horrible.

[Gobias Industries]

So was the camera work behind the pitcher that is displayed right before the pitch. Shaking from like the 5th inning on. Someone could have gotten motion sickness watching that crap.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Charter to fix you guys up with HD. If they ever get a deal done with BTN before August , I'd almost bet that the HD bandwidth is allocated there rather than FSN, and to wider-appeal channels before any sports channels. Charter has taken a beating in the sports niche, and I'm doubtful they sink any more resources into it than they have to.

 

FSN production has certainly improved greatly in recent weeks.

I believe the wind picked up later in the game and that is why the CF camera was shaking so bad. Those fans that were at Fenway, can you verify this?

Does the crowd noise REALLY need to be this high? I mean, one game vs Boston was bad enough, but not being able to hear the announcers for two games in a row (and in different cities no less) is just absurd.

[pitchleague]

peavey, that's what they do on the Arizona broadcasts, too; especially on home games. It's kind of annoying when they do it every time a ball is hit--even foul balls into the crowd. I guess the producers want us to know that there are, in fact, fans in the stands.

[PeaveyFury]

Hey, they finally fixed it in the 9th!

[Glennron]

I hate when they show flashback highlights, because there's a 50/50 chance they're going to miss the current play. It happened today where when they came back, it showed the Pirates SS throwing out Hardy on a grounder.

[logan82]

I am not sure that they fixed the audio. I think all the fans left so it got quiet.

I've not noticed this being a problem. Are you sure it is not the settings on your TV? Our TV has a fake "surround sound" setting, a few time that has been on and it makes the background crowd noise really excessive just like you described.

[PeaveyFury]

I haven't changed a setting on my TV since Saturday's games when the audio was fine, and didn't change them when it got much better late in the game last night.

[areacodes]

I had some audio problems as well... There was just crowd noise coming out of my left speaker and crowd plus Bill and Brian coming out of my right speaker. All I needed to do was change the balance from in the middle to just the right and it sounded normal. Simple solution on my end but why FSN can't fix it on their end is beyond me.

[tristarscoop]

That double play last night - they never showed the play at first base on replay. I would have liked a closer shot as it seemed awfully close. SO frustrating.

[jeffy]

Even when they do show replays, more often than not they just show them at full speed. FSN seems reluctant to run slow motion replays. It's just odd.

[pete]

Prince caught a liner that was never shown and there was another play, I think by Hall that was never shown.

[areacodes]

The thing about this all is that it isn't just on FSN. When the game was on Fox this weekend there were problems from them as well. I remember specifically when they were interviewing the BoSox pitching coach, an interview that they did during the commercial break so they could have just gone to audio, and they missed an entire AB (I believe it was Rickie).

[MickeyDavis]

I wish FSN would get enough HD equipment so they can do an entire series in HD. It's odd that game 1 of the Pirates series is not in HD but games 2 and 3 are.

[jazzytrav]

I can't figure out where else to put this. Anyone in the Fox Valley know if tonight's game will be on FSN for Time Warner Cable? It's not on the guide right now, but there have been times before where they showed the WMLW games anyway. Thanks in advance.

[RyDogg66]

I believe it will be.

[RyDogg66]

I didnt back read entirely, but have people noticed that in the middle of innings they will go to a commercial and then after like one commerical come back to the game? I think it is with WMLW broadcasts on FSN. I remember missing a Braun HR recently due to this.

 

Why does this happen?

[RyDogg66]

ok, it just did it. middleo of the bottom of the sixth.
