Hi Tmax, the reason there are no strips down the sides are because the picture is widescreen, unfortunately not in HD yet! If your satellite/cable box outputs in 1080i, then your tv will say that is what you are watching.

I know that in the US, nearly all tv was square shaped until digital came along and made all your tv shows widescreen. In Europe and Asia, tv has been widescreen since the mid 90′s. Yet all the dull sports (such as rowing and horse racing) are in glorious HD.

Singapore race would look fantastic in HD!

It took F1 long enough to broadcast in widescreen! At that rate, we should have HD coverage in about 5 years, while all other sports (including crown green bowling) will be in full HD!!!

When will the F1 tv guys learn??

And I’ll bet you everything I own that if England are playing in the final then it will be shown on the big screens all around the circuit…

Is it Wimbledon Men’s Finals day too??

paying for F1 is worth it but im not paying more than i do now

They do have to pay. When they buy a TV, I believe there’s a TV tax/license that is payed on every TV.

You will need a lot of luck getting that season. Google search these words: F1 2007 torrent.

Then learn how to use “torrents”. You can google that and learn in less than an hour. It takes time but trust me its worth it once you get your F1 fix. You might be able to find a few races from that season but 2008 and 2009 are you best bets.

I think we are talking about 2 things here 1) capture defenition and 2) Broadcast defenition. I b elieve the capture defenition would be HD. I could be wrong. In America SPEED TV has 2 seperate channels. Speed And speed HD. I have been watching it in speed HD for atleast a couple o f years. There is quite a bit of difference between the standard and HD. Here if the channel is HD and if the capture def was standard there will be 2 strips on either side with t he channel name out there and that is not the case with F1. That makes me believe that the capture is in HD. I recieve the signals in 1080i. Now if that had been done by upscaling I am not sure. Anyways I get good quality in Speed HD. The same HD quality I recieve for NASCAR, Indy Car and NFL. So far so good.
