Yea, it was pretty terriable. But it was because at the Masters, Agusta allowed CBS to burry miles of fiber cable under the golf course. This isnt feasable with the US open because it is in a different place every year. This was the first time that the HD camera's used the RF transfering on such a large sacale, so they couldnt go all HD. NBC actually didnt do to bad considering it was the first time they ever used RF HD. This is important becuase they will also need it for future Golf events, and for Sunday Night Football. But what really sucks is NBC compressed signal. It wasent the cameras that were the problem, it was the compressed singnal going to the distributers.
