I think it would be amazing if in theory Sky just upscale the same 4:3 feed they got like ITV's but still manage to broadcast it HD in such details. But then again I don't know what kind of feed resolution they getting and I'm applying my understanding of trying to blow up a low res image to be printed on a large paper, which probably doesn't work the same in live broadcast?
That's because it was in proper 16:9 and HD, because Sky were the host broadcaster.
