...but I would not know if that was NCAA or something else.

I presume that NCAA or whatever IS there, because sports are always in the forefront of American entertainment. Interestingly, this transmission was in HDTV, but rather bad one. It looked like someone had intentionally set the lense out of focus and no one bothered to check the quality.

You might want to check your local TV stations schedules - by now most of them have the alternate digital channels, usually placed in the formerly unused parts of the UHF band. The one that I usually receive well is digital full time, with HDTV being three hours or so per day. That proportion is growing.

The "standard" digital signal from them is also quite good, albeit not at the HD level.
