Thanks: Gave 99, Got 120 | Jonathon Ross on BBC-HD 5th September
Just noticed that Frday Night with Jonathon Ross is scheduled to be on BBC HD on Friday 5th September. 
Hopefully this will be the start of more "mainstream" programs being shown in HD. How long till Eastenders?

I don't know why Dragon's Den isn't.
It's 2 cameras, and the set is clearly HD capable.
No brainer really.
Although I wouldn't want to see that woman in HD...shudders.

There can't be any detrimental reason why BBC can't broadcast their HD versions at the same time they are first broadcast on SD channels. They always used to do that in the days of the trial.
Still, if you can hold off watching the SD versions for a bit, you'll be able to catch any HD series that you miss, as it will join the ever growing number of repeats on BBC HD!

I watched Mutual Friends (Alexander Armstrong's goodness over-rides Marc Warren's annoyingness), only to spot the HD showing 1hour later.
Instead they were showing a BBC2 programme Maestro at 9pm, they should really have swapped the timeslots.

The picture quality for J-Ross was pretty rough by HD standards IMO...
As another thread here highlighted, BBC HD seems so much grainier than it ought to be. There's only so many times you can put it down to a 'stylistic choice' before it becomes apparent that BBC HD has defintiely got issues.
That doesn't mean that the picture is/was absolutely horrible (I managed to get it looking okay with some heavy noise reduction etc) but other HD channels look significantly better.

Was Never HD in a million years. I dont care what the BBc say, that was simply not HD. My old crt box produces far better pictures than BBC HD. Shouldnt BBc change the name of teh channel to BBC VLD - Very Low Deffinition.

Film doesn't produce excessive grain, poor quality film shot using poor quality cameras by people who have no idea what they are doing produces grain.
If done right you wouldn't notice much more grain than if it was shot digitally or on tape.
Either way it is the BBC introducing the picture issues, even if it is just because the staff have no idea what they are doing.
