    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.

    HD cameras for starters

    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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
