I have noticed a disturbing pattern with sports programming on Sony TVs on ATSC 3.0, otherwise known as NextGen TV. For example, last night I tried to watch the Spurs vs Thunder NBA playoff game on NBC on the NextGen signal. Black screen, audio only. This is in the SF Bay area. Note that there are 2 broadcasts for NBC, the second for ATSC 1.0 and that one was working fine. I observed similar problems during the NFL playoffs earlier this year. Sometimes the video would freeze or have distortions. TV is a Bravia 8, 2024 model.

Speculation: broadcasters are trying to force antenna TV watchers to higher profit margin streaming services by blocking or encrypting ATSC 3.0 signals. Just wondering if anyone else has had this experience with ATSC 3.0 signals for sports programs. Perhaps in other cities.

Here are mine:

1. Shoot enemies in the legs and then use matches when they are down. Saves ammo.

2. Don't be afraid to play on casual difficulty. The game is really hard for some people.

3. The game frequently uses trial and error and kills you instantly without warning. So be prepared to replay certain sections over and over again. Fortunately, checkpoints are reasonably placed.

I was hating the first half of the game. But fortunately I picked up tips here and elsewhere on how to play better. Almost at the end now, in chapter 15.
