SBS Superbowl Coverage

[- £uke -]

Hey all,

Does anyone know if SBS will be showing the superbowl in widescreen on
digital this year? Last year not only was it 4x3 (on both ESPN and
SBS) but very poor in video quality. Going by the commentary
Australia got the international version, and it mustve gone through 20
too many conversions because it looked shocking!

Thanks

Not relevant to Aus directly - but apparently Premiere (a German Pay TV
broadcaster) is broadcasting a 60Hz version of the Superbowl in HD in Europe
(and probably FTA given the tiny number of European HD enabled viewers)
