Sky High Disappointment
By Richard Seeckts last year, mid-June, 2 Comments »
Sky TV, who hold all the aces for cricket broadcasting in the UK since the ECB dropped its trousers four years ago, seems to have become a victim of its own technological success. Whatever one thinks of Sky’s unrivalled record for turning great sportsmen and Paul Allott into bonkers or deathly dull commentators, the advances in technology every year are mighty impressive.
Great play is currently being made of the HD (High Definition) service, with former England captains extolling its virtues frequently to sell the service for the Ashes series. Sky claims to have “a huge number of people registering to upgrade”.
Trouble is that if you apply for it now you will probably get a response from Sky saying “you’ll be able to complete your order and arrange installation in around 3 months”. So there’s a reasonable chance of seeing that scheduling stinker, the 7th ODI from Chester-le-Street on 20th September. High definition rain, then.
