FREESPORTS HD

Recommended Posts

Free sports HD launch Has been put back on all platforms for the foreseeable future. 

This is due to mostly technical reasons one being that they feature some sport that is not produced in HD at present and to have a HD channel on Sky and Virgin there has to be a set percentage of content both recorded and live that is in HD. 

The second issue being their Satellite uplink provider does not have any space for a HD channel on what’s called a Spot Beam e.g A signal that can only be received in the UK this is required as like Polish/Swedish Speedway they only have rights for UK and Ireland.

I am sure that it will happen but just not yet

I think this year must be one of the best for speedway on TV recently. Freesports showing Swedish and Polish leagues, pity they don't have our leagues BT are a joke even worse than Sky was. Eurosport have shown the SEC so all in all not a bad season.

The picture in SD on 422 on Sky is poor compared to HD channels though..better than nothing I suppose but you cannot compare an SD channel to an HD channel for picture quality.

Well as far as I'm concerned anyone who can watch it is lucky. since the Retune back in March I have lost Channel 95 and cannot get it back as the Communal Ariel on our flats is not up to the job.

Channel 95 on Freeview HD on normal tv has the Speedway, no idea about 422.
