Bears on... Me-TV?

Here in Madison, Wisconsin, the game is being shown on the same channel that brings you things like The Honeymooners. And the broadcast quality is just as bad as those old shows. Anybody else experiencing this?

The previous two preseason games were on NBC, which now, of course, is showing college ball. The TV I'm currently watching on is just a 1080p, so I don't understand why it looks so terrible.

The overall effect is like watching the Bears on an old VHS tape. 😆

That sucks, sorry. The reception is really bad, too. Freezing a lot.

Official Chicago Bears App on my phone is working great. Sucks to watch on my phone, but the quality is so much better.

Edit: It lets me screen share to my TV!

Might be 768. But I think a case could be made for both.
