Summary

FOX Sports announced it will begin broadcasting major live sports events in 720p high-definition starting in the third quarter of 2004, covering the Super Bowl XXXIX, World Series, Daytona 500, and NASCAR races.

Taking the Plunge? The Options Are Multiplying

By ERIC A. TAUB

While TiVo is the best-known brand of digital video recorder, there is plenty of competition. Here is a rundown of the systems' various features:

TiVo Stand-alone TiVos, which can work with any cable, satellite or antenna setup, start at $150, with a $12.95-per-month fee for the on-screen programming service (or $299 for the life of the unit). If you have two TV signals, TiVo can record two programs simultaneously. A $99 Home Media Option turns a TiVo into a networked device, allowing users to share shows, music and photos among units in the home. [more]

 

HIGH DEFINITION COMING TO FOX SPORTS IN 2004

Network Sports Division Chooses 720p Format for NFL, NASCAR and MLB Coverage Including World Series,  Super Bowl XXXIX & Daytona 500

FOX Sports entered the digital age in January 2002 when the network televised Super Bowl XXXVI in enhanced-definition dubbed FOXWIDE. That telecast received mixed reviews with most saying it fell short. Later this year, FOX' sports is moving to full-fledged high-definition.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2004, FOX will present much of its exclusive live event programming in 720p high-definition. A schedule of events of the programs to be televised in high definition will be announced shortly once all necessary equipment procurement is finalized.

"Given the high-profile events that FOX Sports broadcasts later this year and beyond, the timing is perfect for us to begin our transition to the gold standard of high-definition television," said
David Hill, Chairman, FOX Sports Television Groupl. "We were very pleased with FOX WIDESCREENT, but after extensive research and testing, it became clear that we wanted our viewers to have access to the sharpest sports images in the world, and without question, the 720p format produces those images."

Between July 2004 and February 2005, FOX Sports televises many of America's top sports events, including NASCAR's Pepsi 400 from Daytona International Speedway, MLB's 75th Anniversary All-Star Game from Houston, playoffs and World Series; regular- and post-season NFL coverage including Super Bowl XXXIX from Jacksonville, and the Daytona 500.

Fox like 720p format and their acquisition of it will strongly impact the future of HDTV. Other nations eyeing HDTV will now have to consider that production equipment is being made abundantly for it and cost will not be at a premium. The 720p (progressive) format takes 60 complete pictures per-second while 1080i (interlaced) takes 60 half pictures per-second. "While 1080i has more lines of resolution," said the Fox press release, "when portraying still images, in FOX' view, 720p provides greater picture quality for sports due to more pictures per second, and has more lines of resolution when portraying moving images.

"The common misperception in our industry," claims Hill, "is that 1080i is the better high definition system because it provides more lines or resolution. However, I am truly convinced that 720p is the far superior format and our viewers are going to love all three of our sports and their signature events broadcast in this system."

Over the last ten years FOX Sports has earned 57 Emmy Awards for excellence in the presentation of the biggest sporting events on television, more than any other network during the same stretch of time. FOX Sports is the exclusive network broadcast rights holder for Major League Baseball, the exclusive network broadcaster of NFC regular-season National Football League games and a rights holder of NASCAR NEXTEL Cup racing. David Hill and Ed Goren are the Executive Producers of FOX Sports.

"Freefall"
On Thanksgiving, the staff struggles with a shortage of doctors as Abby (Maura Tierney) treats an HIV-positive woman (guest star Amy Pietz ) who thinks she might be pregnant while suffering from severe bleeding and an unexpected helicopter crash on the hospital rooftop threatens to harm everyone in the hospital. Nearby, Dr. Lewis (Sherry Stringfield) is unaware that her "ex-husband" Chuck (guest star Donal Logue ) was involved in the disaster. Elsewhere, Dr. Romano (Paul McCrane) threatens to file a serious complaint against the brash Dr. Pratt (Mekhi Phifer) and Romano continues to ride medical student/nurse Abby with tough medical questions -- even as she wonders about what Dr. Carter (Noah Wyle) might be doing that same day in Africa. Laura Innes, Alex Kingston, Goran Visnjic, Sharif Atkins, Parminder Nagra and Linda Cardellini also star.

Bob Hoskins gives a bravura performance in this Oscar-nominated crime drama from director Neil Jordan ("The Crying Game," "The Good Thief") as George, a low-level mob flunky just released from prison. Ordered to chauffeur high-class call girl Simone (Cathy Tyson) around London by his sleazy boss Mortwell (Michael Caine), George soon takes a protectively romantic interest in his enigmatic passenger - but the truth about Simone won't lead him to true love. Robbie Coltrane and Sammi Davis costar in this gritty, "Taxi Driver"-style character study.
