In Belgium we have the two systems. Analoge and digital. But I think analoge will desepire the coming years. HD is coming up here very strong.

Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

If you have the money for a large HD TV, and you watch sports, then HD is worth it. For 90% of the dreck out there, no.......
A buddy of mine is an audio man in TV production. He is very fond of saying "I help make this crap, they pay me. they cannot pay me enough to watch it".
Sums up most of the dreck foisted on us....
That said, I think Analog is a dead format in Canada for most since 95% of Canadians were on cable or satellite services anyhow. With the large distances and weak US signals for their networks, I don't know of anyone who would bother with antenna unless they have a little TV up at the summer trailer and they want to watch the ball game on a Saturday afternoon. Even so, most of the people I know with trailers have satellite dishes....."Water for my horses, beer for my men and mud for my turtle".

I presume they had to wait to do the digital switchover in the US until George Dubya had left office. The chances of him misunderstanding the instruction "Press the red button know" don't bear thinking about...

HD is great. I'm watching a HD programme downloaded from iPlayer on a 24 inch 1920*1200 LCD in our bedroom at the moment and the difference is noticeable compared to SD content even though it's only 720 and not 1080. Whether there is enough HD content is another thing.

Indeed I don't see the point of Freeview HD. Freeview is supposed to be the replacement for the analogue TV service to provide a basic broadcast service for those who can't afford / don't want to pay subscriptions to Sky, Virgin, or indeed buy freesat equipment.
HD is certainly a premium service so I see no issue to having it restricted to satellite and cable, platforms able to deal with it.Please 'like' our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/motorsportforums

Are we talking about the same thing?? I'm totally confused by many of the preceding posts. Here in Oz we have 1HD which shows the Grand Prix live. The cars look fantastic, clear as anything, and all the colours are true and the image sharp when the cars are going flat out.
I can only say that alone is enough for me to love HD.
Of course, we have a helluva lot more on HD, as I mentioned in my post above.
And it's all free!!When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout
Well, he did lose 25% of his lead in the first 12% of this loops kms. Maybe hes coping by making cocky comments
