New HD channel - test broadcasts live

[sybawoods]

The new HD sports channel (171) is currently showing some test broadcasts, including this evenings Champions League football matches. Live date is meant to be 26 Dec, but it looks like we could be getting an early Christmas - unless someone at Multichoice has just had finger trouble.

Hows the picture quality?

They are playing woza 2010 currently and it looks good. The live champions league match tonight will be a better indicator though.

In case other people are unable to view the channel I had to do a rescan to be able to watch it.

Yup, looks pretty good to me. Let's hope they keep it up

Eish, looks like the live champions league game tonight is only in SD quality. But at least it is widescreen.

edit:
They now have a graphic up saying the studio (which is probably all pre match feed i would assume) is in SD. Hopefully when the game starts at 9:45 it will be in HD.

game has now started and is in HD. Looks good.
