9 to show NRL in HD next year

[andrew057]

lol @ people saying there isnt much difference between SD and HD.

 

[El Diablo]

next he'll say there's no diff between a DVD and a Bluray if you up the contrast and brightness

never go full genius

Side question

Last season Channel 9 went away from the HOME team on the left and went with a scoreboard method that showed which end the team on the scoreboard on TV were defending

That meant that the game I am watching now had Roosters 6 v Panthers 6 in the first half and Panthers 6 Roosters 24 in the second half.

What was wrong with the traditional home team first system and will Channel 9 be going back to it?

The only logical reasons for not seeing a difference are:

- Blind and/or terrible eye sight
- SD television set.
- Poorly setup HDTV set (ie. running over composite which is incapable of HD resolotuions)

The clarity and detail on FoxSports HD is just gorgeous. Altering the contrast and brightness to improve the picture might make SD look a bit better on your television set, but those same changes would do the same thing on a HD image. You're not seeing any extra detail, you're just making the colours more attractive to your eyes.

FoxSports HD is the reason I would prefer the Panthers were never on FTA. The detail is a huge improvement and it's like watching 2 different programs. Honestly, if you couldn't see the difference, make sure that you have a high definition television set, that you have the Foxtel IQHD set top box, and that the set top box is hooked up via HDMI or component (R/G/B for video, R/W for audio). Then you also have to enable the HD channels pack. It's an extra $10 per month, but it's definitely worth it. People who have never seen the footy in HD are blown away the first time they see it on a decent TV. Sport has just never looked so good on TV before.

On payTV,I have SD.

During the football,or any other sport, I just simply adjust the contrast and brightness little higher.

The cost of HD on pay TV for me simply isnt worth it for the minute difference that it gives.

Give yourself an uppercut, then grab yourself by the collar and throw yourself out the window....

What happened to the two hours of rugby league content on channel 94 that was promised? I'm guessing nine would rather show another hour of the NinjaBlade2000 wouldn't they!

Agreed.
That was really annoying.

That reads like ch9 would make the slot available but NRL would have to provide the content?

I'm surprised NRL hasn't taken them up and developed their own programmes, opportunity to control content is a rare thing.

 

[Diesel]

I call bullshit on this, the cricket on 9 is SD & it's less than 2 months until kick off

 

[El Diablo]

they never said it would be in HD apart from when GEM was first launched

 

[herbert henry1908]

So we're starting to see some promos on nine for their NRL coverage in 2014.


Nothing about HD coverage yet though.

I'd be stunned if we see it round 1.

 

[Crippler]

in HD tonight??

 

[El Diablo]

nope

 

[wain]

and it's not showing in Adelaide tonight...so much for showing the game nationally

 

[King Ben]

The first game will be on 9 while GEM will be broadcasting an episode of Domestic Blitz from 2006.

 

[some11]

Looks like empty gestures again from 9.

 

[insert.pause]

9's coverage looks the same again, you could look back a decade and they would still be using the same graphics.

 

[bileduct]

At least the Foxtel replays are in HD...

 

[Pugzley]

I'm planning to show up on the Panther's first game with a sign saying "All games shown on time, FTA and in HD! 7 the Home of Rugby League!!!"
