Lets hope the South Africans know what they are doing with the host HD feed come the World Cup.
i have ive watched MLB, CFB, basketball and ice hockey and personally only the MLB has really impressed me. the basketball and CFB looks HD but is not good in terms of image quality and ice hockey you see so little that to be honest its not worth HD coverage (due to the cameta being so far away from the action) and i love ice hockey.

personaly the best native resolution sports comes from Eurosport as proved over the weekend the showjumping, weightlifing and curling looks stunning but its just a shame that they are minority sports. next sunday the live le-Mans is on and is HD so that shoeld be awesome.

ESPN HD looked great as we had nothing really to compare it to now we have itv HD (football) and Eurosport HD and its pretty clear even from the limited HD native sports on both that ESPN are doing a **** poor job in terms of HD picture quality.
