It’s hosted by Walter Cronkite, details here: [http://www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/shows/vienna2004/vienna2004.html](http://www.pbs.org/wnet/gperf/shows/vienna2004/vienna2004.html)

If you did watch it, was the satellite feed quality exceptionally bad this time? I had a friend who has dig cable (ComCast) tape it for me, but although she didn’t preview it before she handed it to me, the picture quality is such that it makes me think she didn’t even _have_ cable.

It’s not a problem my VCR either, because I can tape or watch pre-recorded stuff just fine on it. New tape too. I don’t _have_ dig cable, and my own reception sometimes isn’t the best, so this is why I had her record it for me.

So if you watched it, how did it come in for you?

I should mention that out of Atlanta, all that was available was not _live_, but a re-broadcast. Still, the picture shouldn’t have been that bad, right?

Thanks

It looked fine on our TV.

I watched part of it and the picture was fine.
