Last year, the biggest game of the year was only in standard Def.

every other game was in HD (albeit on foxtel).

same again this year.

I realise its a little petty whine, but PUT IT ON HD ON YOUR HD CHANNEL, 7!

    Costs more and they have a large captive audience in the majority who are not Foxtel subscribers.

    Why bother!

    Advertisers are not prepared to pay the higher $$$.

    Ch7 make more $$$ putting it on at the SD rate.

    Blame the AFL for being too greedy. Not Ch7 (this time)

    Since when did a TV channel think about "doing the right thing"

    It is about money front , centre and back.

    well 7 days ago they did the right thing

    they could have asked the weapon about lots of things but kept the questions of the show and let Essendon breath a little easier

    Does it really WYL... I imagined it would have been done with the same cameras & cabling, etc???

    what is the difference in the hardware etc, needed for HD Footy?

    My view is the right think was to go for the juggular

    But they took the approach that would best protect their investment.

    Lots DL. The picture size of HD is about 50% larger that equates to a bucket load of information.

    HD Looks good because it aint cheap. But why show it inHD when the ratings will be the same anyway?

    Apart from the picture not being transmitted in HD (as it is on Fox and believe me there is a marked difference) The Audio is only broadcast in glorified Stereo and NOT in Digital 5.1 Surround as is Discovery, Soho, Fox 8 and many others on Foxtel... But alas, the Foxtel channels do not transmit their Sports /Footy channel in Digital Audio... Not sure why not..

    I don't think the equipment these days is so much the issue

    I think a big part of the problem is transmission bandwidth

    Until the analog channels are fully decommissioned the stations have a limited bandwidth for DTV which they have to divide into multiple channels

    More channels per station = less bandwidth per channel

    less bandwidth = lower quality broadcast (ie lower definition)

    stations mitigate this problem by using compression algorithms, however the more compression the more problems with quality so it is a balancing act

    fta stations have basically decided to have more channels but lower definition

    when they get back the analog bandwidth and the technology costs keep declining this could all change

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
