Switch not flipped for MNF

[jimbop99]

Not in HD! Whats up with that?

Guess which network?

:bang:

It's in HD, however, the switch flipper on We Intentionally Show No effort is at the helm again. They need a machine and talent behind it not a janitor who has other things to do.

I sent an email per the site info and it has since turned on. My guess is I wasn't the only one.

Looks like Homer's bird is getting angry.

SD-HD-SD-HD-SD-HD-SD-HD-SD. We need talent Hearst Argyle. Your HD management has been in shambles since the dawn of "the switch."

Is HDTV that complicated that they still can't make it work? Last week the audio was f'd up, this week I'm getting nausiated from the sound and picture switching between Hi-def and standard every other second. I'd laugh if it wasn't p'ing me off so much...

Sorry I could not reply sooner.

Family was over last evening and I didn't boot the PC.

Here's the response from WISN management:

The problem with tonight's MNF being late to switch to HD and, after halftime the switching between HD and SD was due to a malfunction of the interface unit that controls the switch. As there's no way to test the unit unless we actually put a HD stream on-air, we were unaware of the problem until 8pm when the HD didn't switch.

The unit's problem has been repaired

ABC was a few minutes late with the HD but it did come on. ;) At the beginning of the second half some goofball kept changing between SD & HD several times within a couple minutes. This was surprising as usually ABC-HD is well done IMO. My only complaint from this game is that the Pats defense couldn't stop KC's 90+ yard touchdown drive. :( They'll need to do better to repeat this year.
