WWE News: Problems With HD Launch, 90-Second Intervals For The Rumble
Submitted by Michael Bluth on Tuesday, January 22, 2008 at 11:23 AM EST



- According to Royal Rumble television commercials that have been running in several markets, this year’s Rumble Match will feature 90 second intervals between entries.

-- There were some obvious miscues and problems during the "standard definition" broadcast of last night's RAW. Heads were cut off during certain parts of the show and at times wrestlers were totally out of frame when the camera should have highlighted the action. With last night being WWE’s first ever live High Definition broadcast, minor problems like these were not unexpected.

-- Several of the largest cable TV providers in the country still do not carry the high-definition version of the USA Network. Subscribers of Dish Network, Time Warner Cable and Cablevision are among those WWE fans left out of the HD experience. I called Time Warner Cable last week and was informed they will be picking up USA HD at the end of February.
