Where did you get the HD broadcast of the 2003 game if you don't mind my asking?

Ha, there was quite a scramble on my side to do that once I realized LSU would be in. I ended up getting an HD Tuner/capture card for my PC, fed by a rooftop antenna. Then I had to buy an extra hard drive to be sure I would have enough space - and I needed it more than I knew, because the resulting recording was 39 GB! Keep in mind, this was at a time when good PCs came with drives in the 60-80 GB or so range so that was a ton of storage.

I used that setup for both the 2003 and 2007 NC games. The quality is GREAT because it's relatively low compression OTA as opposed to the higher compression used in cable or satellite.

Edit: It helps that I'm in a tech friendly area which has the TV station that was first in the nation to start HD broadcasting, WRAL in Raleigh.
