I was surprised to discover that Ten were not covering the US Open in high definition. Anyone have some information about this?

 

I’m watching it on ten HD now, recorded on my Mac so I can ff the rubbish, it looks good but now you mention it, doesn’t look like HD to me….probably the yank telecast.

This is poor,

Im in Wollongong and on the digital menu it is advertised on 10HD here but I have had nothing but the test signal all morning and been forced to watch it in standard definition. Very annoying channell 10!!!!

 

Same in NQ. You can barely see the ball in flight on SD. Have a look at this link as there may not be HD from the source … http://www.hdsportsguide.co...

 

According to the stats on my Mac, the telecast is in MPEG-2, 1920×1080, 19 Mbps, 25fps in Dolby Digital 5.1 etc….

anyone know if their is a web stream – sure i saw a news story saying ten would do one but can’t see it on thier website?

 

So what’s the bet Streelman lasts in the lead today?

And will the commentatas (sic) ever talk about Scotty over the next three days?

I do like the way ten switches from one feed to the other to cut out the rubbish a bit….

It’s still going until midday, Allenby four birdies in a row, thought he had a hole in one a second ago!

It’s still on 10 matey… until 12pm… Good work channel 10 I say…

Sergio showed us a good demo of Frank the Shank earlier…

Feel it, execute it, live with it.

 

Geoff Ogilvy has moved to 3 under after 12… Streelman leads at 4 under.. Appleby finished the day at 2 under. Allenby has moved to 1 under after 12.

Defending champ Cabrera shot 9 over for the day. Tiger finished at 1 over with 2 double bogeys.. Mickleson finished at even.

..i'll come up with one soon..

 

sorry! Cabrera is 9 over after 12 holes!!!!!!!!!

..i'll come up with one soon..

Some dream, others DO!

I felt for him at the time, but he’s too far away….;-)

its a great effort for Ogilvy and Allenby to be posting a good run of birdies.. the course is claiming its fair share of scalps..

Zach Johnson +7 after 14
Angel Cabrera +9 after 12
Justin Rose +6 after 12
Sergio Garcia +6 after 15

all these guys are major contenders in the past!

..i'll come up with one soon..

 

We got 6 hours of the telecast and people are still whinging? Do you not remember the bad old days when Nine cut it off at 9am (or earlier)?

Just be grateful it is on dude…

With my 79 there a couple of months ago I’d be in a tie for 112th :)

I would like to comment how great the quality of the open was,I got it in Full HD and 5.1 channel,,it was awesome,,it was better than the channel 9 promo of HD

 

I’m a massive fan of sport on TEN HD! Awesome to see them investing so much into golf at the moment as well.

 

and the playoff is on from 2:30 tomorrow…who is going to be up for it?

I am considering it, luckily i have a tv in my room so I can stay in bed and watch. Just to make sure its on standard definition channel 10 as well isn’t it?

I watched it in 1080i in the UK full HD – does anyone show anything in 1080p?

The most amazing thing was a slow motion replay of Rocco puffing out his cheeks, the tv guys didn’t realise it but there was a fly or mosquito in front of his face and you could actually see its wings beating up and down, frankly it was the best part of the days play!!!!
