It was very quick after losing the studio to cut to the feed of the fans in the stadium which then itself fell over.

Interesting decision to presumably play the next scheduled event (fade into a Radio 1 trailer) than a breakdown slide.


The big question is why does BBC even have live feed to that match when It's really on ITV. I know It's on replay later on but still

I think you answered your own question there.

I'd imagine that one of the backup paths for live games involves having the world feed available in London or Salford. The matches are all on one of two satellite paths, and I'd imagine broadcasters will just be staying across both paths all day, especially if they'll be taking a game from the other one later on.

I found the backup feeds this year both bbc and itv are on 7e, but it’s weak and encrypted Sad

Do FIFA still provide two feeds, one is studium and the other the presented world feed?

Nice to know that the spacing's been fixed.

Side 'windows' on itv have been changed from the sparks look to another outdoor camera.

Makes it feel even more 'fake'.

Doesn't look as good on close-up shots (especially with the real window in frame too) but the wide shot looks amazing.

I imagine the World feed might be used by the BBC for their online team running the live blog from Salford rather than them watching ITV or relying on Radio Five live.

Do we normally see the STV logo? Things obviously very amicable between the broadcasters at the moment. Just a shame the "s" gets somewhat lost - they need to have a white version really.

Both of those logos are even harder to see in the drop down graphic that comes out of the scorebar. They really do need to use single-colour versions for both.

One critical element of the UHD coverage is the Latency. My feed is 82 seconds behind Freeview SD. The encoding and decoding must be speeded up.

Does it really matter ?

I see we’ve already forgotten the days when your analogue-only next door neighbours could be heard cheering 5 seconds before the digibox caught up.
