High Definition Digital TV - OOOH BABY!

neolithic · 13th January 2002, 3:50 PM

When I saw it, it left me like this :

Amazing picture quality. This was at Hardley Normal on a Sony W/S TV. Channel 10 is running a High Definition demo on one of their channels. AMAZING!

*stares in amazment*

Yeah I also saw one at Dick Smith Powerhouse a few weeks ago, and I can honestly say its the best damn picture i've ever seen.

Are the Sony HDTV's 100Hz (refresh rate) or still 60Hz?

Dreamer · 13th January 2002, 5:11 PM

100Hz

Yeh, HDTV's look very very real compared to standard tv sets, i saw one up at a hi-fi shop in Wollongong playing MIB, and i was literally blow away at the image quality.

Yeah HDTV looks cool if you can get it in your area.

We looked into it and were told that we wouldn't get Channel 10 at all and sometimes not Channel Nine.

zeddyzapper · 13th January 2002, 5:50 PM

hummm,,, last time i looked network 10 didn't have any HDCAm's to film HD video,,, i only know of 1 place that has hdcam,,

HDWF900.. i +think_ was about the $100,000 mark just for the head ,, (no lens or viewfinder)

Probably why it isn't available in my area then

Doesn't say much for HDTV if one of the most popular stations doesn't even broadcast

they will have to in a few years i think. I read about some big plan to phase out analogue and Standard Definition transmissions over the next decade somewhere

incase anyone interested haupage (excuss spelling) have been testing HDTV a australia version, but it doesn't work, they keep sending to the australia disbirbutor Card to test

I thought that under the new regulations that all channels had to telecast x hrs of HDTV a week. This was so that people who bought HDTVs would actually be able to use them to their full potential and not waste their money on something that is rarely used.

In Australia, TV's don't run at 60Hz, they run at 50Hz, same as our power system.

I saw a HDTV demo about 1/2 a year ago now with some ABC guys on a Hi-Def 1024x1024 Res. Fujitsu Plasma of a Football (Soccer) Game and it was awesome and then I saw a Ch. Ten demo on a nice Thompson Plasma (Looked a whole lot better than the Sony's that they had running as sony's just use badged lower resolution Fujitsu Plasma Glass.) at the consumer electronics show (I had a VIP pass, YAY). It looks nice

channel 10 is broadcasting HDTV 2 hrs a day at the moment

if you have digital tv check out 10-HDTV ro soemthing and it will either be playing a show or tell u when the test will take place.

10 is recording much in W/S but most of the TV shows are actually being broadcast in Widescreen. Same with 7, 9,ABC and SBS. Although, in classic SBS style, there was no signal to SBS on this Set-top box. LOL

. BTW, Nine's cricket is in Widescreen
