The channel 7 games on fox footy HD this round are looking mint, flicking between 7's coverage and fox sports 3 and the difference is staggering. Just doing it now with the tigers-demons game and 7 is basically unwatchable compared to the same game on fox3. I really don't care if it is just upscaled, it looks great compared to the garbage 7 is showing, add in no ad breaks and no comparison.

Agreed !
And some people ask why do people subscribe to FoxTel ?!?

Maybe some peoples TV's cannot handle fta too well which means their scaler is not as good for viewing OTA ?

I agree, there was a definite improvement from previous weeks on the upscaled ch7 games, and the round just gone. Whilst its not "true HD" as we know, it's certainly better than some of the garbage we've been subjected to thus far.

This is what I find so frustrating - why the PQ varies so considerably from week to week, venue to venue is beyond me. It really does defy belief in 2013 that we're even having to discuss this issue!!
