World Cup to set high for TV coverage

Oh boy. Then their gonna come here. and there won't be even a single one in any of the stadia.

Even if there was they would be stolen long before they even get used the first time.
 
For the first time in the history of the World Cup all the stadia will be kitted out with giant hi-tech television screens to show live action at the finals in Germany.
I seee.... so you pay for your ticket and watch it on TV at a stadium... nice - the convenience of TV replay without the comfort of your couch!

I doubt all of the stadiums (looked it up and stadiums is also the plural for stadium so back off language police:)) will be completed so it's a moot point.

The BBC announced today that it will broadcast its 2006 World Cup coverage and major Wimbledon matches in high definition this summer as part of its pioneering trial.

The BBC HD trial will kick off with the BBC's share of World Cup matches up to and including the Sunday 9 July final. World Cup 2006 will be the first major sporting event to be broadcast in HD in the UK.

The BBC's summer of HD sport will continue with Wimbledon matches from Centre Court and Court One.

HD is a new kind of television which delivers more detailed pictures and sharper shots of fast-moving action than conventional 'standard definition'. The HD format will be an extra stream alongside conventional analogue and digital broadcasts.

It will only be accessible to viewers who have all of the following: HD Ready televisions, HD set top boxes and HD services from satellite or cable providers.

News about the World Cup and Wimbledon in HD follows finalisation of the technical and partnership arrangements for the trial.

Yeah, I believe the host nation automatically "qualifies".
