Re: Why are there still SD Channels and HD Channels?
 

Did notice this evening that although it’s now on BBC1HD, my regional news is still only broadcast in SD.

Re: Why are there still SD Channels and HD Channels?
 

Nearly all (except around 2-3) are still SD as the regions are not ready yet.

I thought that, although the picture appears slightly improved from before on my TV.

Re: Why are there still SD Channels and HD Channels?
 

It's four regions can do proper HD at the moment, the rest are upscaled to for the HD channel

Re: Why are there still SD Channels and HD Channels?
 

We've lost BBC HD on 108.


101 is now HD and the regional news is in HD

Re: Why are there still SD Channels and HD Channels?
 

Only in four BBC regions. Elsewhere they're still in SD (as that's the broadcast capability of the BBC regional studio) but upscaled on the HD channel.

It gets worse, the latest post on TLF say that the Cambridge studio was installed in 2009 and is actually SD not HD. So that just leaves London, Salford and Plymouth studios as HD capable. Unlike the CCM / opting upgrades that have made the HD regions possible, the studio upgrades will be tied to CapEx investment and renewals schedules.

Thats nice that they dont force HD crap. Over here I think cable copanies ONLY OFFER HD which to me isnt as good... I prefer SD like I always have...

One time I watched some HD channels on an SD TV and they looked good (IN SD) I wouldnt wanna see them in true HD though....


Its ok,every1 likes different things right??

Do you wear glasses?

Well there is a first time for everything and you are the first person I’ve ever heard (or read) saying they prefer lower quality picture.

IMHO some of the SD channels look awful and most of them are compressed so badly they look worse than analogue services over 25 years ago. The music channels in particular.

We still use a Panasonic 37" Plasma TV (720p HD ready) perfectly good enough for the things viewed on it, can't tell the difference between stuff in SD or HD.

Others however, who probably plumped for a 65" TV with 1980 x 1080 resolution may get different results. ;)

Probably not, but he obviously needs them;)

Re: Why are there still SD Channels and HD Channels?
 

1980 x 1080? How dated! :p:

Re: Why are there still SD Channels and HD Channels?
 

You mean they don't exist? :shocked: :D

You know what I meant though, a large cheapo TV with crap resolution/screen type/hardware won't perform well no matter what you throw at it ;)

Yup Mate I do,if I take them off thigns are blurry kinda......
