Picture Quality on BBC HD: a response 09:18am on 14 Oct 2009 Plus the station is no longer in trial it's a proper channel in it's own right - would the problems with audio and picture continue if this was BBC One? I think not - although there is a major difference and more can go wrong - but I just feel it's the poor relation and managers should tackle the complaints not ignore them.

Remember with responsibility comes accountability!
Picture Quality on BBC HD: a response 5:16pm on 12 Oct 2009 Rest assured if and when Danielle goes on POV any issues will be given lip service - the programme is hardly hard hitting.

Maybe if viewers were allowed to ask questions direct and not let Jeremy Vine give them an easy time we could expect a more accurate view of the current situation - you can bet your bottom dollar any discussion on picture quality will be put down to how viewers have their TV's set up!
Picture Quality on BBC HD: a response 12:43pm on 08 Oct 2009 Andy ... what it being done about these audio glitches?
Picture Quality on BBC HD: a response 09:10am on 07 Oct 2009 I'll be unhappy if Criminal Justice suffers from audio issues on BBC HD as I am recording the whole week to watch at a later date! I knew I should have recorded from BBC1 instead!

You can't rely on BBC HD for picture OR sound quality now and is fast becoming a joke as is the fact management of the station don't respond or update on the situation.

Heads should roll!
Picture Quality on BBC HD: a response 8:38pm on 02 Oct 2009 What's disapointing is that after SCD last week with the repeated sound problems not one word of an update on the situation or an apology.

Andy Q has gone to ground and it seems Danielle has buried her head in the sand hoping the issues mentioned on here will go away.

As the paying public we deserve answers - anyone with responsibility in management has to take the flack when things go wrong, it comes with the job sadly.
Picture Quality on BBC HD: a response 10:20am on 27 Sep 2009 Although better than last week there were still audio problems with SCD last night on BBC HD - Tess Daly's microphone was a lot louder than anyone elses for a start - it just sounded like a raw feed with no compresssion or limiter in use - then suddenly the sound would dip after a loud noise.

Not good that this is happening 7 days on.

What happened to the 3 safety nets in presentation that monitor output - as there was no apology again? - maybe they were all watching X Factor once more.

I am going back to view BBC ONE's version next week as HD is a joke.
Picture Quality on BBC HD: a response 5:39pm on 23 Sep 2009 ooops - saying that the normal female voice of the station is often replaced by the live announcer on BBC One who has recorded links for BBC HD if the schedule changes or sport has overun - so yes it is possible!

Presentation need to be awake though and actually monitoring the output.
Picture Quality on BBC HD: a response 5:37pm on 23 Sep 2009 Difficult with no live continuity announcer unless every eventuality was recorded in advance - saying that stv manage it during the day :)
Picture Quality on BBC HD: a response 4:01pm on 23 Sep 2009 Andy - is it not possible for any faults to be broadcast - I am aware the continuity is recorded but if a fault is spotted a text caption apologising would be helpful even if broadcast for just a few seconds - it would stop us thinking our equipment was at fault.

Secondly any further news on why the third area of presentation failed to spot the error or were they all watching the X Factor?
Picture Quality on BBC HD: a response 8:44pm on 21 Sep 2009 Looks very much like BBCHD in Australia is 24 hours a day - typical we only get 9 hours today in it's home country!
