No player blurring when they run?

Flick over to SBS HD on ch 228 and compare when you get a chance?

I've done that. The SBS picture is crap and the Optus picture is fine.

Incidentally, SBS is 25 seconds ahead of Optus for some reason.

I'm looking at SBS on Optus channel 3 and Foxtel channel 104. Where is channel 228?

Flicked back and forward a few times seems much of a muchness

SBS HD? 25 seconds is generous..many around a minute.

No blur when players run mate?

The detail isn't that clear on long distance shots but if you look at the clarity of the lettering on the advertising around the fences and
the score and time graphics you can see a big difference.

no idea what my Fetch Mini settings are or how to check or change them, just plugged it in and turned it on.
Picture quality better than last seasons Foxtel.

Dodgy penalty

Jumped on the mini just now for a couple of minutes before bed. Half time analysis was on. Great picture quality.
Looking forward to checking out the game on demand tomorrow to see if the motion blur I saw yesterday will be there. Especially when during a long distance picture shot.

Everything went well for the Everton game then with the mini?
Reading a few mixed review on whirlpool with the occasional quality drop down from HD.

I'll be VODing later this afternoon.

I'm impressed apart from the motion blur which is apparent on VOD. Hope they look into that.
