As a huge MasterChef fan, I am so happy that I will be able to watch it on high definition, like viewers in India who have been enjoying it since 2014. But it means I have to retune my TV and FetchTV STB next week. ---

I’m surprised that I’m a Celebrity will be in HD - they must be going to upgrade the satellite link to Africa. Last year when it was simulcast on ONE it was just an up conversion. ---

Last year when it was simulcast on ONE it was just an up conversion Ten has always had pretty much everything coming in as HD, the probable reason for the up convert last year would be the recording, for captions and censorship etc it’d be off the SD transmission. ---

The [FAQs page on the Ten website](http://tenplay.com.au/blog/the-insider/ten-hd-faqs) confirms that Ten HD will be MPEG-4. They also state that ONE will change to SD, and there are no plans for Southern Cross Ten to launch an HD simulcast. ---

9Gem has stayed In HD in regional areas even though it went SD in the 5 cap cities months ago. Southern Cross will eventually take TenHD - but they will take their time. ---
