It was great.]]>Apr 12th 2006 2:03PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/12/did-you-catch-the-nbas-dual-skycam-special-hdtv-broadcast/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/12/did-you-catch-the-nbas-dual-skycam-special-hdtv-broadcast/
Unfortunately, they need to work a bit on the reliability of those cameras before they're ready to work as the sole cameras for a primetime broadcast. Early in the game one of the cameras froze and they didn't switch back to that camera until (I think) the beginning of the second quarter. It was much better when they could switch between the cameras rather than just watching one camera in the corner of the court pan back and forth.]]>Apr 12th 2006 2:35PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/12/did-you-catch-the-nbas-dual-skycam-special-hdtv-broadcast/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/12/did-you-catch-the-nbas-dual-skycam-special-hdtv-broadcast/http://theassociationblog.com) and it looks like a big improvement. I also liked the previous "silent game" on NBA TV.

Here's hoping they roll this out for the playoffs and/or Finals.]]>Apr 12th 2006 2:46PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/12/did-you-catch-the-nbas-dual-skycam-special-hdtv-broadcast/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/12/did-you-catch-the-nbas-dual-skycam-special-hdtv-broadcast/Apr 12th 2006 4:02PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/12/did-you-catch-the-nbas-dual-skycam-special-hdtv-broadcast/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/12/did-you-catch-the-nbas-dual-skycam-special-hdtv-broadcast/Apr 12th 2006 6:36PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/12/did-you-catch-the-nbas-dual-skycam-special-hdtv-broadcast/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/12/did-you-catch-the-nbas-dual-skycam-special-hdtv-broadcast/Apr 12th 2006 9:55PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/12/did-you-catch-the-nbas-dual-skycam-special-hdtv-broadcast/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/12/did-you-catch-the-nbas-dual-skycam-special-hdtv-broadcast/Apr 13th 2006 1:42AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/12/did-you-catch-the-nbas-dual-skycam-special-hdtv-broadcast/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/12/did-you-catch-the-nbas-dual-skycam-special-hdtv-broadcast/
For years I've been e-mailing the various networks about having field sounds on SAP channels so viewers don't have to be pestered by the commentators.

Many of us want to hear the screaming on the sidelines, the chatter of the players, the obsceneties, screaming at the refs.

It would definitely be more interesting than hearing the jaded commentators hyping certain players or whatever. Give me the real game sounds!]]>Apr 13th 2006 12:42PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/12/did-you-catch-the-nbas-dual-skycam-special-hdtv-broadcast/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/12/did-you-catch-the-nbas-dual-skycam-special-hdtv-broadcast/Apr 13th 2006 2:27PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/12/did-you-catch-the-nbas-dual-skycam-special-hdtv-broadcast/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/04/12/did-you-catch-the-nbas-dual-skycam-special-hdtv-broadcast/
