No I did not see those.
But NO program I have seen on NBC recently has been better than "passable",
and even that applies only to things like locally produced talking heads.
Any sports rates as "horribly bad, execrable", 0 on a scale of 1-10.
They are currently showing a trial. OTA the non-camera-created lettering looks reasonably good, not full HD quality, but edges don't look horribly
"overshaprened". On Comcast, edges are seriously oversharpened.
The peacock looks pretty good, just a little soft, from far away, but up close, shows level steps.
The camera material is poor but not truly bad ... say 3 or 4 on a scale of 1-10. Edges show terrible overenhancement. The lawyer's gray coat shows not the slightest bit of detail whatsoever. Slightly out of focus detail in mottled areas shows signs of sitting still with zero noise for say 1/3 second then there will be a step of a pixel in location or a step of a few levels of intensity. This is the same OTA and Comcast. The lawyer's hair is like that except worse.
They have now gone to one of those "victim" shows. Its a black guy with a bald pate. The detail on his face outside sharp high contrast edges is nil. The edges are hyperoversharpened. Computer generated text looks like its not real 1080i which NBC is supposed to be.
And this is in the absence of any serious movement at all.
None of this is in the league of a really good Blu-Ray movie.
A locally generated ad with ONLY computer generated large type looked excellent except for slighly unsharp edges.
