Why do we not get the Super Bowl in HD?  Another case of Eugene being a second-rate market?

Seriously?  There are hundreds of recently unemployed people in our local area and you're wining about not getting the superbowl in HD?  Must be rough!

Without knowing what your source for the Super Bowl is, that's hard to answer. If you are watching  NBC locally on satellite, neither provider carries NBC's HD signal. Suggest you call your satellite provider and complain to them, or set up an antenna and get it free over the air.
