Re: S4C HD
It's not in HD on my tv
---------- Post added at 10:42 ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 ----------
Just contacted S4C and they say that some football matches will be on in HD on the Virgin platform in the next week or 2 which I don't care about , but as a standalone channel there will not be HD on Virgin Media. Just sky and Freesat.
How pathetic. People in Scotland can get S4C HD on Sky but I can't get it on Virgin even though it's being broadcast 2 miles away from my house. The mind boggles.

Re: S4C HD
Sorry, didn't spot that. According to http://www.a516digital.com/2016/04/s...-commence.html, the HD service was closed several years ago due to funding cuts, but they are currently testing a new HD service on satellite only.

Re: S4C HD
S4C are probably still looking at the costs involved. Virgin only really covers Cardiff, Newport & Swansea in Wales, so its a big outlay to cover a small area, even if they chose to restrict output to Welsh headends.
The HD service cannot go on Freeview either, as there is no capacity available.

Re: S4C HD
Watched a bit of the Wales game on S4C yesterday, the quality of picture was appalling, very grainy, not just explained by SD . Commentary sounded entertaining though, they got a bit excited about the goals!

I watch alot of sport on S4C and the feed is the worst I have seen on television. It's like stepping back in time and watching an early Eurotrash episode. Awful.

It's not worth watching anyway

S4C broadcasts far too many repeats..... 57% of its programmes had been shown before, compared to a target of 20% when S4C was launched in 1982.

Re: S4C HD
There's a lot of repeats, but there are some very good programmes on there. Y Gwyll (Hinterland on BBC) will be starting again at the end of October and the Ralio programme is probably the best rallying coverage available on non subscription TV

Re: S4C HD
Any danger of getting s4c HD to Virgin anytime soon lads?
It's been on Freeview and Sky since May apparently. But not on my tv package.

Its on Sky & FREESAT, which S4C pays for in one transaction direct with the satellite operator, plus a nominal charge to appear in the EPG's of the platforms mentioned.
S4C HD is not available on Freeview due to capacity restrictions (the slot it would use on PSB3 is allocated to Channel 4 HD in the whole of the UK).
More than likely its not on VM due to cost. As mentioned before, VM coverage in Wales is very limited for what S4C would have to pay out to add HD to the platform.
