Rangers Classics on MSG

I watched some of the NYR v. NYI playoff game from 1990 earlier today - Richcter in net. Q? Why are these broadcasts so blurry? I understand the 'square' shape of the image but don't get the poor viewing quality. Anybody know?
poor broadcast quality at the time, coupled with the fact that it's not meant to be played on your HDTV.

Assuming that today’s TVs are so much more powerful, the old digital broadcasts were that much worse

Thanks guys. I don't recall the picture being so poor at the time but I get it. On the other hand, I think with today's technology one can imagine today's TVs being able to process the old signal better and possibly even enhance it for viewing. If that hasn't been done, there seems to be a new business niche for someone capable in the field.

That's not the way resolution/pixels work haha.

 

HDTVs are so pixel dense that when non-HD footage comes through it looks even worse than on a standard TV which is what it was shot for.

 

Remember, it's not just the TV... It's the cameras that shot it. there's a difference between a 4K camera and an 8 mm lol.

Thx Pete, I'm beginning to get the picture...no pun intended. In the same way Windows 10 can 'run' in Windows 7 or some classic mode I would think today's TV system could do the same thing. There are so many older events that we would like to be able to see clearly.

The point I was making is that it's it just the output (the TV), it's the input (the camera used to record it). Put it this way...You could have the best hose nozzle in the world, but if the water pressure coming from your house is shit, it doesn't mean a thing to have a great nozzle.

I'm watching game 3 and should've recorded game. I'd love it if they replayed game7 in 2014 against the Flyer and Pens. Espisito is terrible in the booth.
