mrmaxwell1503559518 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Just saw an announcement on Ch 10 news that Saturday Night AFL will be in HD in 2007 - a first for Australian sport!!! Was also followed by a HD ad for AFL...anyone else seen this? I'm sure I wasn't seeing things as it's so late! Bring it on...finally that AFL HD test they did at Telstra Stadium in 2005 has reaped rewards....bring it on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix.. Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Great news.Can't wait to see the Mighty Hawks in HD. Why? Isn't it going to be another season of pain, misery and unfulfilled potential for the Hawks on the field, especially now that we snagged the Big Spida??? Go the Swannies!!!!

laurie Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 The reason I like this is to show $even pathetic HD just think the Executives/Engineers/Stokes watching Ten coverage in the studio in full 1080i glory cheers laurie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJY Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 This is good news! Shame it is only Sat night AFL - and not all games?!?! Or shame as laurie says it isn't true / proper HD - but will probably be 7's excuse for HD? I'll be watching though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or shame as laurie says it isn't true / proper HD - but will probably be 7's excuse for HD? I'll be watching though! I don't think that is what laurie meant. Saturday night AFL would be the highest rating out of the games on TEN - meaning they would be the most viable to produce in HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJY Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 sure! As he said though - shame we all don't get to view it in its true glory though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdelrm Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 On a Sports Tonight report about the deal, as Grant Blackly was talking about Ten and their commitment to High Definition it can be clearly seen as the camera pans to Grant, Ian Johnston (from Seven) is rolling his eyes, obviously embarrased about the blurry coverage their gonig to have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
