Shogun III Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Hi All, For some reason I'm not receiving the HD version of channel 7 anymore. I still have channel 70, but it shows up as 576i SD. Anyone else having this issue ... or has an idea of how to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdelrm Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 change to a different channel and go back to 70 and it should work if not do a rescan happens during the tennis and other sports coverage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun III Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 I was watching the tennis when I noticed it. Are you saying that they drop the hi def for sporting events? Why would they do that? HD would make it easier to see the ball ... definitely helps in the cricket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdelrm Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 It's discussed in detail about why so in this thread http://www.dtvforum.info/index.php?showtopic=45813 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun III Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 Thanks, guess that explains it ... very very poor form from 7. Guess I should be thankful that they don't show anything else I want to watch ... especially sports wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seven broadcast in 576i (SD) and 576p (enhanced definition). By international standards 576p is not high definition. Seven claim it to be HD. You will notice the shite quality of 576p compared to 1080i if you watch the Seven Loop, with the snowboarding, Dubai etc. Doesn't look too bad but just look at all the artefacts around the horizons etc. I don't know if you are in Bris, but very very occasionally 9 show bits of their demo loop in Brisbane when they have programming difficulties. Your jaw will drop - it is magnificent, and in 1080i BTW ABC on channel 20 show high definition 720p. For a good example watch Planet Earth, currently on Sundays.

sportsagent2 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Why do you think Channel 10 is advertising the afl in HIGH DEF THIS YEAR ? They are having a good dig at channel 7 because they are only 576i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an LG HD set top box and it's excellent, so stick with the devil I know... what did you pay for your 250 gig and where did you get it??
