    Default 9, NRL and HD

    I see by the TV guide, 9 has the NRL Grand Final on Sunday 4th and I was wondering as I am oft to do, if they (9) may have finished 'Building' their new HD service by then.
    Its only been some 7 weeks so far so I suppose I/we shouldnt expect this too quickly as it must be more difficult to 'Build a HD service' than 'Creating the Earth' in 6 days as God did.

    You do indeed viper but thems Mountains are steep and the trail long to cross the Great Divide to send the HD signal to them bumpkins in the Central West.
    My guess is that either the advertisers wont pay extra to be shown on HD or there are too few here to make it a viable option.
    By that I mean the channel possibly has to pay a fee/royalty based on either the population of the coverage area or transmitters in a zone to the program owner and so far those costs cant be justified due to the lack of advertising income.
