    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?

    poor.

    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

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
