Drew Carey on ION...That blurry look is horrible! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

During the marathon the show looked GREAT! Last night watching the two episodes it was so hard on my eyes. It was blurry. I know ION had this problem before with ALICE but this seemed worse! anyone else catch this?

Good, I wasn't the only one who noticed this. I thought my eyes were going on me-LOL. During the marathon on New Year's Eve, the show looked great - one of the best looking shows on the channel ever. But when it aired last night, it was just as blurry as Who's the Boss?, which is horrible. Wonder why?

All old people channels look like that

It's funny that their copies of DCS eps from 1995 look about the same as their copies of Alice from 1981.

It looks better now than it did that first day, but still I wonder what they do to the shows that cause them to look blurry?

Yeah, I have noticed they look better than before, but still, why do all of ION's shows always have that blurry look to them?

Simple. Cheap Crappy equipment. Keep in mind that most ION stations were really poor stations on the verge of bankruptcy when they were bought by PAX. I just wish they'd do something about the audio. For almost 2 years now it's sounded like it's coming through a tin can. A friend of mine called Channel 26 in New London, CT and they acted like he was nuts, despite everyone I know who thinks their audio sucks.

Is it really that bad? You should call ION and tell them. I had a technical issue about 2 weeks ago, called the girl at ION, and she took care of it within a day. I was pretty impressed.

Ireneparalegal · 04-10-2008, 07:05 PM

Really? I am shocked. What number did you call?

alevin7 · 04-11-2008, 11:35 AM

(888) 467-2988. You have to press option one for programming. And then press option 5 to speak to the girl. She is really nice.

Thank you.
