US Masters Golf - HD

I read in a magazine that the Masters was to be in HD this year.

If so which channel will it be on? Surely it must be BBC HD as they have exclusive rights but do they ever show sport on that channel?

Re: US Masters Golf - HD

This year who knows as the Beeb have very little HD content on offer.

Re: US Masters Golf - HD

The Sky planner doesn't state that the golf is in HD. So does this means it only in SD or that the planner isn't correct?
In that case why is it even on teh HD channel ??

Re: US Masters Golf - HD

Strange checked my planner this morning the HD symbol was there in the banner. If its on BBC HD it will be in high def. Another point though is that each year the beeb show a preview show on a Weds before the main event normall around 7pm. This year its not on until bloody 11:30 what a pain in the backside and to add insult to injust its not on HD.

I'm having HD fitted Saturday morning and looked at the HD channel banner last night and it wasn't there.Maybe Sky have just updated it or maybe the info isn't updated on standard sky boxes. Anyway, great news. Never seen HD so can't wait for it

Re: US Masters Golf - HD

So then

Very good quality picture

But God almighty, it's time the UK broadcasters found a way to handle 60Hz signals natively. Especially on HD channels, there's no excuse.

The judder is terrible on some shots, and just like last year, horizontal stripes are causing havoc.

Sky's 60Hz conversions have been outstanding - Americian football, Nascar - so it's about time the BBC invested in some new gear.
