Speed HD

[TRSmudge]

Now I know Dish is losing steam in new HD nationals.....

My Dad just called to rub it in my face that he got Speed HD today.....
Of all providers he has Time Warner in Green Bay, WI.....

Trust me, TWC is a joke, but who's laughing now (my Dad at me)

I hear ya. But the only thing I watch on SPEED is F1 racing and is is not filmed in HD and probably won't be for a long time. They have such an incredible set up now with so many cameras on each track that it is too expensive to upgrade.

I beg to differ with you! I can't wait to get the best racing out there now in HD. Yes, that would be the NASCAR Truck series!

I believe F1 is shot in widescreen 480p. Even if it isn't HD, having Speed HD would mean much better PQ than that horrid signal we're getting today. The F1 races broadcast on Fox had much better PQ than what we see on Speed, even though they were upconverts.

I believe Fuji TV shot this years Japanese GP in HD.

I think Speed HD shows not only the Truck series, but the Twin 150s at Daytona, the NASCAR All-Star Race, and all the Cup qualifying and happy hours. DISH should have had Speed HD a long time ago!

DISH should have had Speed HD a long time ago!

I'm pretty sure we were all having this same conversation at this exact time last year, hoping Dish would have Speed HD in time for the 2008 Daytona NASCAR events.

ya we hoped for SPEED by Daytona ~ then for the COKE 600 ~ now we just hope...... ummmm...... what was I saying again?

Does Speed HD carry the F1 480P feeds? I just would like to get it in widescreen. Of course if Speed HD is not carrying those feeds, then, for me personally, I am indifferent to whether Speed HD is carried by Dish Network or not. I really do not watch NASCAR coverage.

 

[Cyclone]

Yes, Speed-HD does carry the Widescreen f1 broadcasts like we have seen on the Fox broadcasts.

SPEED HD delivers F1 World Feed in PAL 576P with native audio - sometimes stereo, most times mono. Not HD, but way better than NTSC 480i.

Is E* and News Corp any closer to a deal to carry News Corp/FOX channels?
