Origin broadcasted in HD??

[Doug2234]

I noticed GEM have "Antiques Roadshow" and "The World's Smallest Man and Me" in HD Wednesday night.

Shame origin won't be in HD. f**king joke.

I can't say I've seen it being advertised anywhere on whether the game is going to be in 3D or even in high definition.

Does anyone else have any details?

Had a quick search this morning and details were scant.
I found this from Nein's own TV guide - http://channelnine.ninemsn.com.au/stateoforigin/

A promo for last year's series.

I'd say Nine this year will settle for a delayed podcast in mono.

10.30pm in Perth, fricking to55ers!

I'm just happy I get to watch live in Melbourne

Looks like the ratings winners such as:
Antiques Roadshow
The World's Smallest Man and Me
Jailhouse Girls

Are on GEM instead of HD Origin. Woohoo..

Why would they tie up two of their digital channels with the same program, it's not going to get them one single viewer more. At least those other "ratings winners" will rate something on top of their Origin numbers. The present anti siphoning law won't allow them to show it on their HD channel instead of their main channel, so the one channel we get it on is the main channel. Perhaps the new laws will allow them to use their HD channel exclusively and those other "ratings winners" can be shunted to their SD channel.

Yes it's a joke. It was on at 9:30pm last year and now 10:30pm.

Geez, they are some one eyed tossers in SA. Why Channel 9 SA helps a game they have no coverage of is beyond me.

what a f**ng joke

 

[babyg]

Live

Do they know it is on? Wonder what the publicity is for it. 9 probably don't want it to rate cause it will drive the price up.

Mate if it was being shown in 3D you would not have heard the end of it for the last month. Remember last year - Channel nine drove us insane with thier 3D promotions.

Really hope we get a TV deal similar to the AFL. All their matches are shown live on Fox Sports HD. We need this, Channel 9 can get f**ked if they dont want to show it in HD

 

[Coaster]

Fox should offer one game a week in 3D. It would increase there upsell in QLD and NSW

not all their games are shown in HD on the HD channels. That Lions v North game wasn't in HD on saturday night.

From next year when their deal starts...
