A few of the PBS stations are amazing. They must be high def or something, because, even with the Mercury, the image quality is great. It comes in at near high def on my tv.....
I got a dental education feed one weekday from California that was amazingly in high def. It was zoom into the mouth gore.... yech... but couldn't turn it off because it came in so clear... |
the mercury won't do high def but the picture quality is amazing.
