BBC HD Srictly Sound - Sky+ HD

gareth73 · 07-11-2009, 18:35

I have noticed a drop out in the sound in HD from Blackpool. It seems to rise and fall.

Anyone else noticed this?

hdfan · 07-11-2009, 18:36

It's not just me then.

coopermanyorks · 07-11-2009, 18:38

me to .

BBC1 is poor to but not as bad as HD ?

gareth73 · 07-11-2009, 18:38

Standard BBC 1 is fine.

Glad it is not just me being picky!

So did the op........

It is a shame, the singers are well muffled and Bruce and judges voices rise and fall with some echo

Over to BBC1 , hopefully it will get fixed on HD

Its still poor on BBC1 but no where near as bad as HD

popupvideo1 · 07-11-2009, 18:52

Same here, sound terrible on BBC HD, no option but to watch on SD on BBC1

Pay me £22k a year and I reckon I could do a better job even though I'm not a trained sound technician.

I don't really want to watch it on BBC1 - the picture is terrible. It looks like it's snowing inside the ballroom.

coopermanyorks · 07-11-2009, 18:56

Any announcements on HD or are they ignoring the poor quality ?

hdfan · 07-11-2009, 19:01

Not sure what to make of it all to be honest. The picture quality today has been superb -absolutely faultless. From Sarah Jane to Flog It! to Strictly the picture quality is excellent - like the old days.

If they could just get the sound right we would be onto a winner!

gareth73 · 07-11-2009, 19:10

I guess it must be something to do with a live OB. Maybe the OB lorry has a fault somewhere.

It may well be the uplink to London TVC

Restorer · 07-11-2009, 19:34

I tuned in a little late - but no sound problems at all here via optical.

In fact was remarking how great the whole thing looked tonight. Super PQ and great 5.1!

Could it just be the lighting is different or are the Beeb just better PQ with OBs??

Fatwaz · 07-11-2009, 19:49

yes sound on bbchd for me is poor too.last night i was remarking how much better and clearer it was compared to bbc2 when watching jools holland as well lol.pq is very good though

johnny7 · 07-11-2009, 21:58

The sound was truly awful on BBC HD - up and down throughout, what was clearly a well produced show - all that effort scuppered by the sound ruined the show for me.

dazb · 07-11-2009, 22:43

yes watched on BBC HD and the sound was awful, they really are a joke if its not the picture its the sound

coopermanyorks · 07-11-2009, 22:45

Strange no mention from the BBC in the way of a sorry announcement

Bannsider · 08-11-2009, 00:20

I am not a sound expert but could the high ceilings at the ballroom have had an effect on the sound?

rifleman19 · 08-11-2009, 06:48

I recorded it on the HD channel so had no choice but to watch it in HD and couldn't compare the sound with BBC1 but i agree it was all over the place and at first i thought there was something wrong with my TV or the hard drive on the box,

I think there was a problem with the sound mixing from all the various mikes etc,

When Rod Stuart started to sing, Did anyone else notice that you could still hear voices, talking etc coming from somewhere else?

roddydogs · 08-11-2009, 07:53

The sound problem with HD has been ongoing for YEARS!

gareth73 · 08-11-2009, 08:37

Funny how the Rememberance program was spot on from the Albert Hall an hour later in hd!
