One Comment
Cox transmits the local KFOR-DT coverage on channel 84-4 when using a built-in QAM tuner. That got me asking some local cafes and bars to switch to 84-4 to see the Olympics on HD. Most could not due to cable boxes being wired with RF or composite cables to the HD set.
The three restaurants I found that could show HD were 1492 in Midtown OKC and McDonalds in Bricktown. Goldies in Edmond had two sets connected to rabbit ears showing OTA KFOR in HD.
Some locations that could show HD didn’t make the effort because of the black bars during commercials and local programming. They set the blurry 4:3 analog station to stretch mode so the 16:9 screen was filled at all times with overweight Olympians. The TV stations need to zoom the analog letterbox content to fill the HD screen and stop this travesty.
