Cable Forum - Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)

Media Boy EXCLUSIVE: BBC Scotland to air Scotland game on Saturday.

BBC Scotland has told me in an email today that BBC Scotland have got the TV rights to show Japan VS Scotland LIVE.

The game will be broadcast on BBC Two Scotland from 11am.

With Kick off being that 11.20am.

UPDATE AT 6.50PM: My Freesat from Sky now showing listing on EPG for the game.

NOTE: I do not know if BBC Red Button will show this game outside Scotland yet but you can still hear the game on BBC Radio Scotland (Not outside Scotland in Ex-Telewest areas.)

Slightly off topic....... I find ALL HD channels are quieter than the SD ones does anyone know why?
Media boy can you or anyone shed any light on this?

ESPN and BBC HD are two that spring to mind!:confused:

I think it something to do with the way HD Channels broadcast.

It is because SD channels are stereo and HD channels are Dolby digital 5.1.

DD5.1 has a much wider dynamic range so in order for those channels to NOT destroy your sound system when very loud occurrences happen, ie like a explosion, the nominal volume must be lower. Most AV amps will have a system to manage dynamic range but most TV sets won't.
