La Liga in HD?

Just watched Revista and they were advertising this weekends game and Bob (or Rob) said something along the lines of "We're in HD" and explicitly mentiond that the matches will be shown on "HD2". When they mention something will be shown on this channel it's actually in HD.

So, is La Liga finally gone HD?

Re: La Liga in HD?

Well judging by the excellent SD pictures of the first few weeks matches I would say they have been using an HD feed downscaled. If the matches are to be in HD then thats awsome. The best news all year from sky if this is true. lets just wait and see though.

Re: La Liga in HD?

^^ I also noticed that the SD feeds were much better, but I thought the time of day had something to do with it. But more significantly, I was watching Revista and when they switched Live to Graham Hunter who was, as always, standing on some random balcony, the screen ratio changed to 4:3. Maybe this means they finally have the HD studio.

Re: La Liga in HD?

may explain why last weekends game was advertised on the EPG as HD, but wasn't broadcast in HD. Maybe they were a week to early with the EPG

On The EPG for Sunday, both games are advertised as HD on the EPG. If they actually are HD then well done sky

Re: La Liga in HD?

Yes well done if they are, we'll find out soon

Big shame tonight's Inter Barca game isn't, easily the tie of the round (tho Milan Real is quite tasty too )

Youre probably looking at Saturdays games, which arent flagged as HD.

The Sky website is usually reliable. It says not in HD.

Re: La Liga in HD?

This is fantastic news if it is true. If not then it only seems to be a week or two away. The two Sunday games are flagged up as HD on the EPG and the corresponding SD broadcasts contain the narrative "also in HD". I would guess that we will see La Liga in HD on Sunday. Can't wait to watch.

Re: La Liga in HD?

On Sky sports HD1 this morning, the goals on sunday presenter said "live spanish football tonight in HD".
