[TV] Eurosport going HD, SD channels will be 16:9 (Widescreen)

[the sniper]

I think this news has been around for a while but I missed it.

Eurosport is going to launch a HD channel on the 25th May, at the same time the SD channels will be going 16:9. So what does this mean for us Motorsport fans, well if it is on time it looks like the Porsche Supercup will be the first motorsport broadcast in widescreen. About HD content, I understand a HD feed was (and maybe still is) produced for the WTCC in 2005, but was only broadcast by a channel called Euro1080 (which we can't get in the UK), I am sure they will still have the same equipment as then. So the WTCC will probably be the first Motorsport broadcast in HD, anybody fancy Le Mans in HD?

The thing that worries me is that in all the Media stuff I have seen, only Eurosport International has been mentioned. I hope that British Eurosport is updated at the same time, I am prepared to be disappointed though...

It would be nice to see if Martin Haven knows anything about this .
