Coburn,

I just knew you smelled like the type who would drive a British car. :shiftyph34r:

Cars:
2 Triumph TR3s
2 MGAs
1 MGBGT
1 Hillman Minx
1 Jag XJ-12 (the horror, the horror)!

Bikes:
3 Triumphs
2 BSAs
2 Nortons

Except for the Jag, these were in my younger years. My friends refered to it as a sickness. I may have been young and dumb, but I looked cool!

Thats Colburn not Coburn. Or as my old man use to say, "Nobody has knocked the "L" out of me yet".

Fox is 720p, but the signal gets converted to 1080i when it reaches your TV.
I don't know if it's the set top box or the local station or the cable companies facilities that do it.

Okay. I appologise. After doing a bit of research, I think you are right and Fox is shot at 720. However, my Los Angeles, Charter, cable company or fox affiliate is scaling the signal to 1080 before it gets to me.

The amazing one for me is American Idol that is either passed directly in Los Angeles as 1080 and sent out of the feed at 720 or just happens to scale very well.

I am very sorry for my tone and militant ignorance.

I have never missed an episode of 24...I think it is getting too dark and contrasty. Maybe they are just saving electricity.

What would really help that show is if they had a terrorist attack some where other than California I mean come on enough is enough.

Personally, I think they missed a golden opportunity to have this season take place mostly in China breaking Jack out. But then again, how would they be able to show all those shiny new Ford SUVs...

Yes, but imagine if Fox have given Red permission to screen 4k test material from the set of 24 at the Red NAB booth...

Maybe they will show some footage like that? I am sure Jim has some "cool buddies" who might make a 4K appearance.

Regarding the whole Fox 720P vs. 1080i, I read an article a while back that discussed the whole mess that is HD transmissions these days. Basically it is possible for the signal to be converted back and forth between the two resolutions up to 6 times (Yes, SIX times) before it reaches you... kind of scary.
