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!

poor.

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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
