High Def Tennis on now

AIG Japan Open

Ancic is playing Henman right now on the "INHD" channel.

This is actual high-def tennis (in 1080i), not the wannabe-480p high def that you get on ESPN2HD.

The picture is amazing. So is Henman right now - he's up 6-2 2-1 on Ancic right now.

Check INHD.com for listings of more tennis in high-def this week.

Well, that did not last long. 6-2, 6-2 Henman wins in just 60 minutes

You mean 720P for ESPNHD didn't you?

480P isn't high def, that's just progressive scan for current DVD.

Please clarify

thanks

Tennis on ESPNHD/ESPN2HD is rarely (if ever) broadcast in widescreen (hi-def has to be widescreen). Hence it is speculated that tennis broadcasts on ESPN could be lower than 720p quality, viz. 480p (equivalent to DVD fullscreen quality).

Mojo is broadcasting those hi def matches of Sampras and Mac from that Boston sports channel. Unbelievable. Tennis more than other sports can really benefit from Hi def (size of the ball and all). It looks awesome.

All French open matches on ESPN2HD were 720P and widescreen.

And so were most US open matches last year on Universal HD and CBS.
