Expressvu did do a broadcast of the Sens vs. Sabres game.
They had two camera's at the rink, one panning the who rink from the side and one from behind one of the nets.
The front view of the rink, the broadcast was horrible, too dark, but the one from behind the net was excellent.
I have been reading that the any of the Pioneer Elite TV's are the best of the crop. The only hold back is that they are pricey. Probably why alot of people don't buy them. If I had the bucks, I probably would have purchased the Pioneer Elite.
I am able to watch NYPD Blue in HD without a hitch on my 6000 sat. receiver. The picture isn't near as good as any CBS HD feeds, but at least ABC is broadcasting in DD 5.1. I am yet to receive any DD 5.1 from any of the CBS or Fox or NBC feeds.
