Default golf in true HD

I'm actually not a golf fan at all, but one day last May or so (could have been June) I was browsing through the HD channels and I caught a Golf tournament or whatever, and it looked INCREDIBLE with the HD. I didn't mind watching it, I can appreciate someone who is a great player.

Anywho, the thing is I'm assuming that channel was VSGLF (207 here with Comcast in Philly) but now it doesn't look anywhere near as good. What is the deal here? Did they stop using HD cameras? Or was I watching a different channel back then maybe?

..Any ideas?

It's sickening how much better stuff looks in HD. I can't wait for everything to switch over.

I can't even watch sports in non-HD anymore. It really sucks.

Its usually only broadcast in HD on the weekend when one of the major networks are covering it.

On a related note, my cat is pretty shy and usually runs and hides when we have company over. She's used to playing with my golf balls when I'm practicing my putting, the HD broadcast is so clear she gets intrigued watching the golf ball on the screen then she gets freaked out when they show the golfer and runs upstairs like a bat out of hell thinking somebody is in the house.

hahah, ahh, cats. I guess it was on a major network then. In that case, I'm looking forward to the weekend :P

It's kind of lame that the GOLF channel doesn't cover it correctly.

Is it the VSGolf thing I mentioned earlier? Because that is "HD" but its not REALLY HD. Not as clear as HD should be, by any stretch.

God damn it, I hate you Americans! Here in Noway next to nothing is broadcast in HD, and it's dubious whether it'll get much better in the near future. And here I'm sitting with my beautiful 42" HD-ready Plasma TV watching low-resolution PAL broadcasts. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

That wasn't a smart purchase...since regular cable looks WORSE on HD tv's.
