BBC HD is go

About time too, the BBC has taken it High Definition channel out of its trial period this weekend and turned BBC HD into the first public service HD channel (well thats what they are saying anyway). Although the BBC HD channel has been running for ages now the first official show shown by BBC HD was Strictly Come Dancing shown on Saturday. I'm a big fan of HD TV and just hope this means we'll soon be watching the likes of Top Gear and the FA Cup in all there High Definition glory they deserve.

BBC director of vision Jana Bennett said "I am delighted that BBC HD, the UK's first public service HD channel, is officially launching tomorrow, after the BBC Trust gave its approval last week. HD is the next generation of television and a real opportunity for programme-makers to reach out to the audience in ways they have never done before. HD is a real creative enabler making our programmes even more powerful and outstanding."

High five to the marketing crap that comes out of the mouths of BBC employees lol.

Head of BBC HD Seetha Kumar said also went on to say: "We are already recognised for setting the benchmark for quality in HD programming. We start with a fabulous weekend of TV – Strictly Come Dancing, Electric Proms with Paul McCartney, Earth - Power of the Planet and Cranford to name a few. Our Christmas schedule is also fantastic, with the likes of Extras Christmas Special, major blockbuster movies such as Kill Bill, Sin City and The History Boys alongside shows like The Tales Of Beatrix Potter With The Royal Ballet, Lessons And Carols From King's College Cambridge, Carmen, Jools Holland's Hootenanny and To the Manor Born and, for the first time, The Queen's Christmas Broadcast. There really is something for everyone."

The BBC are making my Christmas even more pleasurable showing the likes of Sin City in high definition, things can only get better for us who have already invested in a HD TV and HDMI lead and those of you who haven't really should look into joining the HD revolution as the picture quality is seriously so much better even on 'half' HD TVs.
