...not only that. The real bummer is...none of the networks ever air the half time shows any more(except for the Superbowl) so when it is raining and you have all those soaking wet dancers dancing in the rain...we never get to see it...cos they always cut away from the half time shows for commercial breaks and the sports desk analysis instead.

That was one of the big advantages I used to have when I had my 12 foot satellite dish C band system in the 1980's...you could receive all the "wild feeds"...i.e. all the transmissions from the field cameramen being transmitted back to the camera truck...that were not going out over the airwaves. So..in the 1980's, when I had my C band dish system, I could watch all the half time shows that were always filmed, but not broadcast over the air (due to sports analysis being broadcast instead). I captured a few nice scenes of soaking wet dancers during those half time shows...

Thats what HDTV should be all about...i.e. letting the viewer choose what he wants to see...and if I don't care for sports analysis and prefer to hang out with the cheerleader cam instead...then thats worth every penny of 5 grand for a tv system like that.

Yes....and thats just the tip of the iceberg....cos for each game they have Hooters Girls around that pool too...so imagine what it would be like if you could just view the pool cam at those games continuously.

Thats why I refuse to pay 5 grand for a top of the line HDTV system, cos it is pointless to have HDTV, when none of the broadcasters (except Nascar racing) actually offer you the choice of which camera angle you can view the sporting event from. That was supposed to be what HDTV was all about...not merely a better picture quality...but giving the viewer interactive options to select what camera angle to view a sporting event from. They have proper interactive hdtv programming for Soccer games in Europe and for baseball in Japan...but nothing in the USA except Nascar is fully interactive. You get nothing much with HDTV except a better picture and sound...and so paying 5 grand to watch Jay Leno in high definition...is pointless...cos he ain't any funnier when viewed on a 5 grand HDTV as he is on a $99 K mart tv.

HDTV programming in the USA is pathetic...all you can watch are nature programs, a few prime time shows, Jay Leno, and some sporting events...but all in a non interactive format. Whats the point of watching movies broadcasted in HDTV...you can rent those same movies on DVD from your local video store, and a DVD is just as high quality anyway.

Nascar racing is the only event that has helmet cams in every single driver, and the satellite tv hdtv viewer can then choose which helmet camera angle (channel) to view the race from.

As soon as NFL Football goes starts offering fully interactive HDTV....i.e. where we can watch the cheerleader cam for 2 hours instead of only seeing 1 seconds glimpses of them during the rainstorms...then it is worth paying 5 grand for a tv system that can offer that capability.

Likewise...would'nt it be nice to be able to watch the pool cam at the Diamondbacks games for 2hrs too.

EPSN Sportscenter

As some of you know, the Arizona Diamondbacks have a pool just beyond right-center field. Well, a homerun was hit out that way, and a woman jumped into the pool to retreive the ball. And yes, she was fully clothed. Not the best shot of her, but it's not bad at all. To catch this, watch the end of Sportscenter when they do the top 10 plays. It was #7 I believe. And since Sportscenter is repeated several times, you should be able to catch this!
