BBC HD Sport

I remember when I first got SkyHD and I was overjoyed watching the quality of some of the World Cup matches which were shown in HD on the BBC.

Now I cannot remember the last time that the Beeb showed a footie match in HD. They have the rights to show the FA Cup - yet today, Utd v Spurs is in SD on the Beeb - and it is a bloody poor SD broadcast as well.

Poor show

The beeb said it because the HD channel didn't get in the green light in time for the FA cup matches to be included in the budget, or something around those lines.

The FA Cup semi finals will be shown in HD as will Euro 2008

(not that any of the home nations will be there

)

No England match tomorrow in HD as well

Why am I being forced to pay for a tv license..

Its amazing that they still show football in the trailers (or whatever its called) but don't actually show any.

Sky have managed to send ross kemp to be shot at and still filmed in HD, come on how why no football.

Is there anywhere you can see a list of the HD sport the BBC will be showing?

Anyone from the BBC care to explain why the FA Cup Semi-Final today will not have DD 5.1 sound? (no DD in the planner)

At least it is HD!

I tlooks terrible. what can we do ? See my thread below.
BBC HD is not up to the required standard
Something needs to be done. I'm effin peed off.

It is HD but not the best PQ. Low bitrate artifacts.

Shaun666 · 05-04-2008, 12:20 PM

The smearing of the pitch as the camera moves is awful.

BBC HD never put the sound format on the EPG. As it is, it's only in DD2.0.

Pretty poor show really. I know it's 'free', but it just makes Sky worth the subs.

ozzzy189 · 05-04-2008, 6:27 PM

******** about the sound, but what about the disasterous PQ ?

glugwine · 05-04-2008, 6:45 PM

I missed the football on BBC HD, all I could see they were showing today was Dino...blah something all day

I was hoping the Grand National would be on in HD - no such luck, not even Dr Who tonite was on in HD - their flagship programme, does not say alot for BBC HD.

tigertimtim · 06-04-2008, 3:18 PM

the grand national really should be the type of event to show in hd, would of looked superd , however it is at the bbc deciding whats to be shown needs to shown the door himself

I'm expecting the US Masters Golf to be excellent - it certainly was last year.
I've watched the tournament religiously since I was about 11 and never before has the splendour of Augusta been able to be portrayed to those not present at the course - until HD.

I can't wait.
