Aside from the terrible commentators, terrible pre game show and terrible presentation overall, now I am not allowed to see the score of the NFC Championship game on my television.

How difficult is it to have the score/time box at the top left hand corner of the screen to not be cut in half? All I can see is SF 7.

I texted a friend, and he's having the same problem.

Not a problem for me. Score is clearly visible for me.

What kind of tv do you have? Is your zoom fricked up?

RCA

Zoom is fine. First thing I thought of and checked it.

Perhaps it's only in my area

If you have dish network hit the format button until it fits right. It's the * button.

The problem with this telecast is Buck and Aikman. How these asshats have jobs is beyond me.

Other than that, the telecast is fine to me.

Had the same problem last week on my RCA. It's because they broadcast in widescreen. So you either need to have a widescreen TV or format the picture for widescreen.

CBS has better presentation for sports than anyone else. The worst I remember was like Jefferson Pilot game of the week

I'm pretty sure it's Cox fricking me and the rest of Uptown New Orleans. Despite that, Fox is still way behing NBC and CBS in terms of watching a football game.

I think Troy Aikman does a good job.

You aren't the only one. My mom just called to ask what the heck was up with the graphics and sure enough mine is cut in half too.

I've always hated Fox telecasts. They always look like the cameras they use are 5 years behind the others. I pray for ESPN telecasts.

You disagree? I think they're almost unlistenable.

I've watched Fox all year and haven't had this problem for football games.

My friend, who lives Uptown New Orleans and five minutes from me, is having the exact same problem.
