Day Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Why isn't HD standard now? Apart from possibly towns stuck in the dark ages like Belper who even watches TV without a HDMI cable? Why is BBC 1 channel 101 and BBC HD 141, 4 pages down on Sky? Channels are all over the place. How can Sky, BT and Virgin justify charging extra for HD channels in 2016. Gets my goat y'know, really does, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaffsRam Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I used to think that my eyesight wasn't all that. Then I hear people complaining that they can't tell the difference between SD and HD and I realise that in the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man really is King......

Yes, but couldn't they make 101 be the HD one, and stick the SD one down at 698?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 BBC Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland are now in HD Mostyn (the regional news programmes at half six) they weren't a few weeks ago so maybe they are gradually sorting it out and BBC 1 HD will be on 101. Channel 4 HD is 227 on Sky, wtf ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No programmes on BBC 2 are split for regional stuff Gritters so they can put it on 102 because every programme is the same nationwide....I think.

RicME85 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Lots of stuff is still upscaled to HD isnt it? Thats why the charge for HD. Its crazy though, HD has been around long enough for it to be 'the norm' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I find it really strange watching football in HD. For some reason the players and the ball seem to move too much. I don't know exactly, it's hard to explain but I have to watch it in standard because HD football looks odd to me, almost to the point where it makes me feel dizzy. Is this something to do with the frame rate maybe? It seems like the players are playing at like 1.5 times the speed they should be. Anyone else? No, just me.

Standards seem to me to be, in order: 60s B&W - IT standard Def - all the other channels standard Def - HD - the modern day beta max that is 3D - probably 4K but nothing is shown in it and nobody has the equipment to view it on. You ever see 3D football? Looks like a Punch and Judy setup to me. Action in the front of the picture doesn't match the action at the back.

I prescribe half a gram of MDMA, to be taken about 45 minutes before kick-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsy Ram Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 HD is a nightmare for some of us who have to work from third world countries with **** Internet. I can't be using the work BGAN for HD football highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
