    Personally I would say that the NHK picture is better, followed by BBC HD, then CHN 4 HD then ITV HD in that order, with RTE HD somewhere in the middle.

    rte is the poorest, but as has been said that is due to the lower bandwidth it gets on dvb-t, the dvb-s channels get more bandwidth

    Anyone watching the footie? The grass was a sort of Aqua-marine green for a while.

    I noticed that. The whole picture had a blue-ish tint to it at the start. It started exactly when RTE put up their "Commentators: Peter Collins...." graphic. Lasted ten mins or so.

    Just wondering is the RTE playout system up and running? Match clips during analysis after the end of the Dublin Kerry game appeared to be in HD, including the ending musical sequence. RTE2 HD DOG remained sharp to the end. Has this happened before I wonder?

    IIRC all broadcasts from Croke Park (pundits included) have been 100% HD. It was only when RTÉ used a studio at Donnybrook that it wasn't 100% HD

    The LIVE australia v ireland rugby game seemed HD from new zealand, and then SD from rte studio.

    Yep. All RTE studio stuff will be SD until they get the new studio built.

    does anyone know if the dtt signal had massive audio delays for the ireland russia match this morning? the sky broadcast had delays of 7 or 8 seconds early in the match which resolved itself after a while, it was only th ematch commentary, the in studio stuff was fine

    Yeah, some audio gremlins early in the game on Saorview, confirmed by very opaque onscreen apology. The glitch was sorted soon after.

    It was on RTE 2 HD which is only available on Saorview, the Sky feed is a different one altogether!

    There was an apology. Probably the exact same feed, just downscaled for Sky.

    Both feeds did have the issue. It was the same for the USA game!!
    The RTE man that syncs the sound must not start until later in the morning!! (union has requested a 500% pay rise for everyone in RTE for him to come in early :D )

    MasterChef Ireland seems to always look excellent on Saorview.

    If it's not HD, it's definately the best looking upscaled SD stuff they've shown.

    Just watching the progamme tonight. The DOG logo was sharp and some of the scenes had clarity of being in HD. The following programme "The Good Wife" seams to be out in SD with a rather fuzzy DOG.

    Dog is definitely sharp during MasterChef alright.

    So I wonder if this is the first HD broadcast on RTE apart from live sport?

    The film "The Full Monty" seemed to have got the HD treatment on RTE 2HD Saorview.

    A short promotion came up during "The Saturday Night Show" on RTE 1 for "Pam Am" on RTE 2HD on Saorview.

    Lack of camera equipment. Do you notice on the Champions League, in the studio its SD and only switches over to HD for the live feed. Interestingly this was not the case for the Croke Park GAA matches. The studio analysis was in HD at Croker.

    It's not unique to Croke Park. Magners League outside broadcasts and games from the Aviva have been 100% HD also. Montrose needs to be upgraded before we see studios in HD.

    In any event, the marathon was shown on RTE1.

    I see the second leg against Estonia is being streamm live in HD

    http://www.rte.ie/sport/livestreaming/hd/

    It's probably more appropriate to IPTV than terrestrial. :confused:

    Crap quality - certainly on my Smart connection. Back to the stuttering HD from Three Rock instead :)
