nw42 Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Sod the H&S, just D on it's own will do for me, we're lucky that Freesports even exists and decided to put speedway on at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnno4 Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 I must go and get my eyes tested, can't tell the difference between HD and SD. Wouldn't be anything to do with how much it cost ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnno4 Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 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.

Trotter65 Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 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.
