I hope they’re not airing that ‘best channel’ promo on the SD channel in Melbourne, etc!
Well no doubt I’ll hear/read on here the (justified) howls of protest when 7HD disappears again.
Of course I haven’t received any response to my complaint to Prime7 about the lack of 7HD (resulting in the AusOpen being shown in SD, nor from WIN about the monstrosity dubbed ‘Mappy’).
The sad thing is with 4k UHD TVs already being sold here not only is there almost no UHD content - and I gather than 1080 HD content looks…bad on UHD TVs (similar to SD on a HD TV I guess) - but most channels are still SD (I know Foxtel are doing better, and Netflix is great, but still…).
Sooner or later the networks will have to push MPEG4 a bit more (maybe next summer?), switch their least popular channels to it first (perhaps test it in a particular market), stick with it for more than a couple of months & see how little complaints there are, then the next least popular channel, etc. (Probably a bit of wishful thinking on the timing.)
