Leaving aside the merits of the tennis, what was the BBC's logic in
continuing Wimbledon coverage on BBC One and transferring BBC One
programmes to BBC Two?
National news was straightforward but when it got to the 'regional'
news they said that viewers in England and Northern Ireland would need
to wait until after Wimbledon for their regional news (the logic I
assume being that Scotland and Wales have separate versions of BBC
Two).
However, BBC Two HD in Scotland is 'non-regionalised' so Reporting
Scotland did not appear on BBC Two HD. There was no mention of this
in the announcement.
I noticed that the EPG was not updated so I expect this would cause
problems for those with recordings set.
Why did they not put Wimbledon on BBC Two and leave the regional news
on BBC One? I can understand in the old days BBC1 coverage was better
than BBC2 and some people did not have dual standard sets to allow
them to watch BBC2. With the advent of digital TV, the two channels
are on the same multiplex so coverage is identical and all viewers
surely understand the concept of pressing '2' instead of '1'.
Despite all that I still watched Mr Murray's victory.
Some time ago someone was complaining that fast moving images were
blurred on HD. I thought the picture was perfectly okay. I suppose
the ball was a slight blur when it was travelling at 120 mph, but
would it not be a blur if you were there in person to watch? Was
anyone critical of the picture quality?
What did surprise me was that it was shown in 1080i. I thought 1080p
was the preferred format for fast moving images and 1080i for scenery.
Why not 1080p? Is it to do with international coverage perhaps?
