Well, I for one was quite happy with the NBC product this first week. First of all, I have DirecTV and Speed was always only broadcast in 720p and still is. NBC is 1080i so thats the first improvement. The audio is great as well as the announcers only come out of the center channel and all other speakers are the noises from the race. Sounds fantastic. I also like that when they cut to a commercial, they keep the action going in a small window. Although I'm watching it the next morning, still cool. And finally, Matchett and Hobbs are same as always, you love them or hate them but Diffey is much more exciting to listen to than Varsha was. Nothing against Bob but Diffey can keep the attention of my 8yr old and thats a tall task. All in all, Im pleased
