Face Plant Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 i dont know if its just me but, the picture quality of the epic is terrible. Is it only when you watch it on a HD tv? it was exactly the same with the tour of SA .. its like the picture is blurry. Just me getting old or are you guys also getting the bad pictures?
dirtrider Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Looks fine on my B&W TV . Must be the HD then .

Don't you mean "it's like the picture is BURRY." He so fast! That's why dude...
Grebel Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 The Epic is WAY better that the ToSA imo. They must be using the latest cell phines to film the action...
Kranswurm Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 My HD TV and PVR is perfectEnjoyed Sundays Epic.Maybe your eyes are wonky
Face Plant Posted March 31, 2011 Author Posted March 31, 2011 Don't you mean "it's like the picture is BURRY." He so fast! That's why dude... and here i thought i was just being silly.. couldnt figure out why i coulndt focus on the 36one team. seriously though is it my tv then? all the other pictures look fine?
rouxtjie Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Mine is fine, play around with your display settings(aspect ratio) on the tv and/or decoder ToSA was horrible but I suspect the feed was crap to start with.
VeloRacer Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) The pictures do seem a bit 'soft'. I think its coz those guys are editing out in the field and sending the footage via FTP to Supersport. Thats where the quality drops comes in Edited March 31, 2011 by silverboy
Grondpad Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 What coverage?? 30 mins a night? come on!. + 1. Just sad!
Mojoman Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 And on Monday or Tuesday night instead of the Epic, we got 10 minutes of Supercycling!And yesterday's Freedom Challenge started off with some random coverage of the epic from Tuesday for 5 minutes!Guys at SS need to get the programming right!
Face Plant Posted March 31, 2011 Author Posted March 31, 2011 . + 1. Just sad!it is shocking. The Epic is probably one of the biggest mtb events on the international calender and we get a half hour coverage a day?? damn sad!i wonder how much coverage the overseas channels get?
crasher Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 it is shocking. The Epic is probably one of the biggest mtb events on the international calender and we get a half hour coverage a day?? damn sad!i wonder how much coverage the overseas channels get? 30 mins less 10 min recap on day before less adverts maybe 15 minutes But its still coverage and we get it everyday and the day 1 live was excellent with a full 5 hours so I am still happy to be seeing the highlights each day wish it was a bit earlier though
Polo Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 How about guys on motorcycles with a camera man at the back getting some footage of the other 1190 riders in the race. I enjoy seeing the race for podium position (all 15 minutes of it), but the real essence of the race is in the middle and back riders. It will lead to more exposure for potential sponsors and charities and better footage to sell internationally, turning the race into an even bigger money spinner!
