I thought the broadcast on the whole was pretty disappointing.
1) Overscan - the top of the screen including the game clock wasn't visible.
2) Video dropouts - missed approx. 2 minutes in the 4th quarter, and various other dropouts.
3) Video quality - I thought CBS had a better PQ last week. Isn't wasn't bad, just not as good as CBS. (My setup doesn't do 720p so I was seeing upconvert to 1080i).
4) Replays - Madden kept talking about replays that they were not showing on the HDTV broadcast.
5) Lip synch - lip synch was off from the start, but got much worse in the 4th quarter
6) DD 5.1 - we did get 5.1 here in Minneapolis, but the mix wasn't very good. Way too much crowd noise in the rears and the musical stuff wasn't good at all.
I'd give the broadcast a C- : a little less than average for live HDTV events these days.
