Superbowl on High Definition

CBS has recently announced that the February 1st superbowl will be broadcast in High Definition. I am really looking forward to this as the Nokia Sugar Bowl was in High Definition and the picture on my High Definition Dukane projector was, to use an expression that probably is overused....awesome!

First, the picture was in wide-screen so there was another 20+ per cent on either side of the picture for the whole sugar bowl.

Next, the picture was so clear that I swear I could count the teeth of the Center.

Really, amazing.

While I do have satellite, this whole picture/experience came to me compliments of a $35.00 antenna mounted on the side of my house and an 'open box' Zenith receiver I found for about $325.00 at circuit city.

Of course, I am lucky enough to live in one of the markets that has had High Definition broadcasting for a number of years.Man, am I gonna have one SUPER(!) Super Bowl Party!

News is getting out; folks I don't even remember meeting are getting real familiar and promising to bring the ultimate Superbowl food over just to see what this picture will look like on my Dukane High Definition projector and digital audio feed as processed through my Audio Aero Mark II DAC.

It is nice to be popular, well....once-a-year anyway.
