Football tonight on yournew HD Tv set?

In the Retail Park tonight and a couple of the HD ready TVs had the football
on, what horrible pictures !
All the others had other programes on and looked allmost OK.
Of course none of the sets would be getting HD transmissions but what
puzzled me is that the football would orginate in HD and be transmitted
normally to these HD ready sets, why did these sets handle it so badly?
Was the football a bad picture on your new HD ready TV set?

The pictures coming from Germany are total and utter crap and the sound
isn't even in stereo. What's the point of HDTV when they can't even give you
standard TV but instead you get half of the resolution.

If the sets are showing SD Broadcasts, then yes they look poor on LCD/Plasma
sets on some channles due to low bitrates used by some of these channels on
satellite, had they been showing the actual HD feed than the picture would
have been stunning.

Trust the stores to use HD sets to show non-hd material

I've installed a HDTV today and the football looked fabulosa! I was so
enthralled the customer had to kick my arse to make me leave.

I thought the BBC's Freeview pictures of the Germany game were the best
I've ever seen on DVB-T. Not HD, I know, but nevertheless excellent.

If HDTV is 4x better then it'll be a winner.

The BBC HD feed on Sky (channel 145) was superb. If you've been looking in
the likes of Comet and Currys, the muppets there wouldn't know it was on a
different channel to the normal SD picture. The ITV match which is on now
is just the normal SD picture as they wouldn't agree to what Sky wanted to
pay them to take their HD feed. I hope their advertisers remember that. I
suppose we should be thankful that ITV isn't in their usual 4.3 aspect ratio
when broadcasting football from Europe.

What ?

The pictures were complete and utter ****. They were totally blurred just
like everything the BBC takes from foreign broadcasters and you couldn't see
the features on players faces.

Er, ITV would just have to pay for an EPG number, they would just send the
signal to the satellite without Sky having anything to do with it.

Agreed Bill, the HD pictures viewed on my Pioneer plasma were outstandingly
good!

No, I doubt it. Sky do not arrange any uplink facilities for SD ITV, (nor the SD
or HD BBC broadcasts) The only issue is that of paying for the EPG position
(around UKP100k/pa ISTR); small beer for ITV.

ITV have not chosen to run an HD test on satellite, simply that. They are
running an HD test mux in London however, (UHF Ch 27) I don't know if their
matches are in HD on that ?

Just like the Beeb if there is a decent quality 16:9 feed available from the
host broadcaster, ITV use it.
