    Can you post a pic of the intro animation (full screen one, not the little one), that included "available in HD on Saorview" before the match?

    will do it when i switch on the projector tonight

    I've seen a few of the upscaled programmes thats been on already and even though they are decent pictures, they were nowhere near the quality of what was on this morning

    Someone else posted last night that Desperate Housewives was in HD also but it wasn't, they may have allocated a higher bitrate to the upscaled material, the HD DOG is a good indicator.

    Yep, the HD DOG was clearly in HD, pin sharp edges on it just as it was for the rugby yesterday, I noticed that it was'nt so clear on a couple of other programmes.

    Testing the playout system maybe for pre-recorded material.

    I was thinking the same myself, best to test in the middle of the night on repeat programmes rather than prime viewing times!

    i'll see if there is a quick way of doing it, , but editing video files normally takes a long time

    here you go..

    apologies for the windowed view, alt + print screen while running WMC gives a black screen only. If you have a specific need i can try and get a full screen view

    Thanks for that, mossym. We didn't have an animation like that for the match today. Just the smaller one that was posted yesterday by holidaysong (gone now, @holidaysong can you upload the pic again).

    The smaller graphic will probably be the standard, this from RTÉ previously
    It is planned that the service will carry a new logo/bug ‘RTÉ 2 HD’ and also a short animation will be played, probably a lower third super, on handover to the live event.
    ...
    In all cases the transmission schedule/running order will contain specific data to indicate the true HD events.

    Watched the first few minutes of munster leinster on rte2 HD at home . Great quality, I then had to watch it on SD from sky at my friends for the remainder of the game, crap quality.

    Its hard to go back to SD after HD.

    Thats how they will sell saorview, push the Hd sports and sky will lose out unless they start showing it in HD too.

    Saorview is not there to compete with Sky. Sky wont lose out on anything.

    Law and Order: Criminal Intent, Law and Order and the movie Running with Scissors are in HD tonight, HD Dog.

    Definitely testing playout in HD. No indication of HD in the programme information which is disappointing.

    Running With Scissors is most definately being upscaled atm. I wish RTE would drop the HD part of the DOG when upscaling.

    RTE Two HD on screen at all times seems to be confusing many people

    The "RTE Two HD" Dog wasn't the upscaled one, it was the sharp HD one we saw during the 2 games.

    Similar also posted for the previous 2 nights, probably playing out pre recorded material for testing purposes without announcement.

    I watched a bit of Running With Scissors and it wasn't the sharp HD DOG when I saw it.

    Is there any info on the next HD stuff to be broadcast?

    On Saturday at 7pm, RTE2 is showing Limerick v Kerry (Munster Senior Football Championship semi-final) and on Sunday at 2pm, Meath v Kildare (Leinster Senior Football Championship quarter-final).

    Hopefully we'll see one or both of these in HD.

    Yes - for true HD and no - most of the content on RTÉ2 HD at the moment is upscaled SD and transmitted in 1080i HD format .

    CSI NY looks to me like its in HD, the DOG is very pronounced like the image posted here earlier in the thread, can someone please verify. I could be mistaken though
