Some of the footage in the reports seems to be SD???

[astirling]

Yeah....that doesn't worry me. So long as the game is in HD.

Yep, but not as strange as the white line across Lineker's forehead on his hairline!!!

[BillyTheDad]

Very true

Although the strange 'soft focus' effect of the press conferance footage was slightly distressing!

Claudia Schiffer in HD. Does life get any better ?

Summary to date

Initial problems with sound, fixed - no one has said if this was also present on BBC 1.

No 5.1

2 people had the programme start recording itself, 1 definitely had the match in the planner as a reminder

Reports of picture jumping when camera pans

[fozzieAV]

Just spoke to Sky CS and they said that it should only be analogue sound, which is what the banner says as well (i.e. no DD).

Where did it say it should be 5.1?

[steve10574]

picture is stunning this is great

[martz]

any pics?

[chaddy]

sure it said on the BBC Preview.
Somthing like
"for the 1st time on british tv"
"and in 5.1 digital sound"
"the 2006 world cup"
Then wayne rooney shows his mug.

[alphaomega16]

dude what the hell I thought football was supposed to start at 4

[astirling]

Didn't it start in 5.1 with the sound dropping all over the place. Then they switched to bog standard stereo?

[gbmitie]

5PM KO.

It did indeed start in 5.1 and then the switch to stereo seemed to resolve the problem.....

[SickStu]

2 friggin DOG's !

[fozzieAV]

Anyone else getting sparklies - particularly on wide shots of the crowd? Think I may need to replace the Sky supplied HDMI cable?

[JamesLB]

This is a treat, Watching the footie on a 65" B&O plasma in HD, wicked picture. Shame about the non DD.
Looking forward for England game tomorrow.

[Soulfinger]

What an amazing picture. Footballing heaven.......I thinkI'm going to cry.

[darkblak]

Phew - glad it's not just me - I've just been unplugging optical cables, trying sound settings....and then as a last resort - try here. At least the picture is Ok.

[balb0wa]

very nice quality indeed, no crowd flickering

[fozzieAV]

The picture's incredible - it looks almost too real.

[akf2000]

cheers guys!
