Default Bathurst telecast - HD?
Now with 7 being stupid and turfing their HD channel, does anyone know if there will be ANY HD broadcast of the race?

May seem silly to some, but I've gotten used to watching sporting events in HD, and even with the second AFL final I turned it off in 5 minutes because I couldn't stand the SD broadcast..

Just checked the channel guide- 7 Mate, the only HD channel 7 has now, is playing Magnum PI and some other CRAP instead so no HD for Bathurst. VERY DISAPPOINTING.

Ah well, no 7 HD telecast - back to the old days, SD telecast - maybe they could really go retro and telecast in black and white.

Don't really care at this point in time, as I'm telecasting onto a big screen and am happy with the quality of picture - just counting down now to race start.

Channel 9 still has HD, 90 is GEM. They showed the NRL final on it in HD.

This is utter garbage! I love watching Bathurst, but I can't tolerate it in SD :(

How daft

They'll play it on 7mate like 9 played the rugby on their pointless HD channel.

According to Yahoo 7, 7mate is showing normal programming on Sunday.

I don't think Seven has ever aired V8s in HD (not since I've had an HD set-top box). You maybe viewing it through 7HD where the programming was upscaled to 1080i HD, but that doesn't mean it's genuine high-definition.

Before "7mate" was launced, an HD sport coverage would have a different logo on the top right-hand side of the screen. It would say "HD" in a diamond beside the number 7 logo. V8 Supercar coverage just had the standard "7 Sport" logo. Yes there is a picture improvement when watching shows that you know aren't HD ('80s reruns for example), but the picture would be much more crisper if it is truly an HD (1080i) program.

I found it very frustrating seeing how Seven aired AFL and even Tennis in HD, but poor old V8 Supercars? They stay back in time with 576i telecasts.

At least Nine will still air HD sport coverage (Rugby League and Cricket) on their HD channel.

I thought there was something up with the AFL grand final, looked really crappy.

Morons, what a stupid thing to do, offload their HD channel.
