Just in case anybody cares about CART racing...
The race at Road America this weekend is being covered exclusively in High Definition (1080i) for the first time. There will be no Standard Definition (480i) coverage. HDNet are using something like 21 cameras and, based on past efforts, the coverage should be excellent. They will be showing around 5 -7 hours each day as well. All the practices, support races etc. If you have an HD setup it is available on DirectTV and also on Dish (ch 9425) as a special deal. Should be the best TV coverage ever (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Richard |

QUOTE(Gint @ Jul 29 2003, 08:31 PM) I didn't see that DirecTV was carrying it though. Getting into HD is not cheap - you need an HD Capable TV, HD receiver and the oval, triple LNB dish pointing in the right direction. Its being carried by HDNet and they do a very good job in their coverage - i expect it to be much better than the usual network c#*p we are subjected to. No adverts either! HDNet is currently free on DirectTV (ch 199/79) but is part of the new paid HD tier that started at the beginning of this month as well. There are six HD channels on DirectTV and all the networks provide over the air HD every day (things like Monday Night Football and all the 'scripted' prime time shows are HD now, even Fox is going HD). HDNet, incidentally is started and owned by Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks. He has done wonderful things to promote HD and has run the channel out of his own pocket for two years to get to this point. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
