Footie from SA - how?
 

Anyone got any idea how the video of the footie matches are
transported from SA to the UK?

Are there two streams, one for SD and one for HD?

What sort of capacity is needed?

Surely that was a problem local to the UK. Adverts would not be inserted
in either stream, SD or HD, before sending it from SA to UK.

Are the BBC and ITV just using FIFA's SD and HD streams and then adding the
commentary and any DOGs at this end?

I turn me TV on and watch what comes up. I don't give a hoot where or how it
comes. Does it really matter. I am watching the footy in HD and it looks
good to me. What does not look good is the England play............I have
seen Southampton reserves play more exciting footy then them.

It starts off as proper HD gets sent to ITV as SD and they upscale it
and pretend it's HD.

Fair enough. But if you are not interested in the technical details why
are your bothering to read this technical newsgroup which is all about
the picky details of digital TV?

What does not look good is the England play............I have
seen Southampton reserves play more exciting footy then them.
