Ridiculous... They have no excuse not to switch to HD. WTCC is in HD, and looks fantastic. No complaints. F2 is aswell, I believe as it used the WTCC cameras. NASCAR is too. Even fishing competitions are in HD over at Sky Sports!
BBC said it would be HD, then Bernie pulled the plug. But BBC can and want to. Bernie said it was because they had to change all the cameras which was expensive and have all the networks agree. But all the other motorsports had no problem switching over, and Premiere have been forced to upscale to HD (they have a HD sports channel, as do Sky Sports and Eurosport). The main broadcasters, and I'm sure more, can show HD. Those that can't can downscale. I really hope the coverage changes for 2010 include HD, if not, then...
What is going on?
