ABC may use HD100

...and just as the quality is getting so good, they introduce 1Kb/s Digital "Blocktastic" Television.
 
Just commenting on how terrible digital TV looks in the UK.

Movement makes it fall apart completely. I guess 1Kb/s is exaggerating a little though :embarasse

I find fast sports to be pretty unwatchable!
 
Ah -- for a minute there I thought you must be talking about HDTV in the US (same thing with sports, although 720p seems to hold up a little better).
 
I am yet to see HDTV. It arrives here next year, and I haven't been able to catch it whilst in the states either.

I am staying analogue for now, because it looks the best! They just want to free up more bandwidth to pump out more crappy shopping channels IMO.

Actually...I've seen a soccer game broadcasted in HDTV...my brother is a A/V tech and he always get the newest toys. He has a 27 inch sharp HD plasma screen and it looked AWESOME! :thumbsup:

I'm in the UK though. I am pretty sure nothing is being broadcast in HD here yet. We are just beginning to see HD ready TVs though. I am yet to see one which is 1080 though, so maybe Europe is sticking with 720p...?
 
According to all I've read about the EBU and their endorsing of standards, they seem dead set on embracing progressive. So yes, it's likely Europe will either adopt a 720p standard, or maybe they'll decide to wait for 1080/50p, who knows? But I really doubt they'll endorse 1080i -- they seem firmly in the "progressive=better" camp.

To try to balance this rig (i.e. to reduce the fatigue factor) you'd have to add an extention arm from the shoulder pad to extend past your your back and add a pile of weight out there...

I think you're talking about something similar to the Easy Rig. I tried one with a Sony Betacam and liked a lot. It's probably very usefull to handycams, it gives a very good freedom.
