Title: AFL in HD
Post by: fivestarmd on April 26, 2011, 06:40:18 PM
Will we ever see AFL broadcast in HD on 7 again?
Isn't that why they started 7Mate?

I'm pretty sure it's still in HD, just it's on 7.

Where do you live? If you live in the country, it may be different.

I'm in Tas. It was broadcast in HD last year and now it is only broadcast in 576i. I would have thought HD on 7 would be 1080i

Do you have foxtel? If you do, and you wanna watch the footy in HD just go off foxtel and it's in HD.

Only if you pay for the HD upgrade package.  Fox Sports is not HD

Fox Sports 1,2 & 3 all have HD equivalents. You just have to have a HD capable receiver. Just like you have to have a HD set top to receive and output a HD signal.

Since it appears that Foxtel will be simulcasting all games live next year, you may find it is all in HD.

I hope so - cos currently you have to pay extra to get the HD channels
