F1 Fanatic

Hey Guys,

Just noticed BBH ONE HD has launched tonight and guess what I found for this weekend :D

Both qualifying and the race will be in HD (albeit probably upscaled but better then not at all)

I only got HD 2 weeks ago :D Perfect timing!!

Judging by Bernie’s recent reluctance I can’t see the footage being HD.

Just wait until it goes 3D ;)

Were they not supposed to be broadcasting F1 in HD in 2011? This might be to try the new equipment out or?

Anyone who is willing/gullible to pay for HD TV should have to wait for it ;)

Dan: I’m guessing that the video is digitally captured in standard definition, so any race-footage from the track-side cameras and the on-board cameras will be in standard definition, and it wouldn’t make sense to release that on a blu-ray disc.

Some of the footage pre- and post-race might be recorded in high definition though.

F1 IS currently filmed in HD BUT it isn’t broadcasted/released by FOM in HD
I found this reliable source here

There was a definite benefit to the unscaled HD picture this weekend. I have my fingers crossed that the little man will keep to his word and get as a stream for 2011.

Have to agree with you though WelshF1, I find myself correcting his errors for other people in the room.

@damonsmedley I watched the Spurs vs. Milan game the other night at the pub and it was alright to be honest!

However, still horifically pointless.
