[mittal_v2002]

Any DTH service provider going to broadcast World Cup in HD ? That alone may be the good reason to buy the HD STB... ..
any news on that ?

Yes, I'm for sure that ESPN Star will air the CWC 2011 in HD on PPV basis.

Harsh Bhogle of ESPN Star was heard talking about an HD feed for this year's WC for the Indian viewers.

The matches will also be streamed live on espnstar.com!

State of cricket broadcast in India. Now do you want this in HD?


It seems espncricinfo is criticizing this. What's wrong with cricket telecasts in India?

Now since they have the WC rights i hope the WC to be a better experience.

On a happy note i did not subscribe to this crap channel ... instead watched it on DD.

If ur a true cricket fan, u won't be waiting for dd to telecast it cos the test match was only available in ten cricket exclusively.being a die hard cricket fan I watch all the matches but the ads disturb me in ten cricket which I admit ......
U cannot throw all the fruits In a basket for a single rotten fruit ,if ur going to throw all the fruits u have to sacrifice the fruit itself.anonymous

in DD it is better to watch with set muted due to the awful commentary, tencricket is finding new ways to fill in ads, wondering whether we are watching ads in a cricket match or it is the other way around, and it is a "pay channel".

The screenshots do not show the worst and most obnoxious of the advertisements on Ten Cricket's broadcast, i.e. the ads that were superimposed onto the center of the screen while the actual live game is going on. The ad was presented in a manner where it seemed ot appear from beneath the ground in the center of the screen.

PS: TEN Cricket has been served a show cause notice by the concerned authorities, regarding the shameful advertisements during the India-SA series. Hopefully something good will come out of this. Although based on past history, I don't have much hope. Regulatoru bodies in India are only good for paying 'lip service' and the same goes for the greedy BCCI.

Very true. It's essential to make everyone aware that a particular fruit vendor always throws in one rotten fruit when giving you order a kilo of them. That way they can start competing with each other and buyers will get a choice. First step could be "A throws in an extremely rotten fruit" versus "B throws in a stale fruit" eventually leading to some vendor giving all good fruits, albeit at a higher cost.

I am fine with paying more, provided there is an accountability on what's being promised.

its hard for a cricket fan to watch cricket in india on channels like Ten sports and Neo cricket
