I watched most of the game on my HD front projector and thought that
given the rain it was a pretty good picture. I noticed they now mostly
now have a fairly narrow depth of field on the pans though that did
not always avoid the blocking when rapidly panning over detailed
backgrounds.
They had some interesting special effects introducing players. Though
I sort of got tired of watching them play with that after awhile.
For the forth quarter I went off to my local bar for an attempt to win
another HDTV in a raffle drawing. The bar has a couple of decently big
screen HD & ED TV sets, receiving the game over very bad analog NTSC
via Cox cable and stretched to 16:9. I think I annoyed the owner with
my questions and suggestions and did not convince him to get an HD
cable box. ;-)
I didn't win the TV either.

Any comments on the quality of Sunday's Super Bowl XLI presented in
glorious 1080i?
I watched on a 120" front projector at my church (we all huddled in
fear that the NFL Police might kick in the door) and my impressions
were that the pregame was brilliant, sharp, and very impressive. The
game for the most part was assisted by the optical low pass filters
(rain) on the camera lens, although every single animated transition
from live play to a replay, and every animated transition back to
live play, had horrible macroblocking. There was also macroblocking
during fast pans, but not as noticeable as the animations.
