In Reply to: Does the BBC use HD cameras in their TV broadcasts... posted by oscar on January 17, 2008 at 11:04:09:
... it really depends on whether the BBC series in question were shot on film, tape or with HD cameras, doesn't it? BTW, if I'm not mistaken, Great Britain adopted WS broadcasting before the U.S.; that's why early into the transition some series shot in WS over here (like Dark Angel and Buffy, The Vampire Slayer) were released in 16:9 aspect ratio in GB, but only in 4:3 academy over here.Just look at BBC programming like Planet Earth for the level of HD quality achieved by the BBC. Whether that crosses over to dramatic series is another matter, but there are some pending releases on the schedule and I'd like to be able to see them without region blocking.
