Re: Altering Live TV Pictures

I think both are aesthetic issues... you know it's fake from watching it,
so there's no deception. I found the blue puck trail brutally distracting
(outweighing the value to new and less knowledgeable fans, IMO, by a ton);
I like the yellow first down line a lot, and find it to have a low
distraction factor and a high up side.
