>32 inch CURVED 4k TV for 2000$
Mother of all gimmicks

We're starting to get HDTV this year though.

Not even a joke.

Channel Seven (australia's biggest commercial television network) only started their HD service literally a week ago.

This guy is a legit memer we had 1080p screens 10-16 years ago

But 4K tv's are a meme

Cable or aerial


Aerial hdtv looks like shit in finland

Dunno about cable

Not even close to the murikan hdtv rips I download

>curved

Yeah, the fuck is wrong with people?
Curved is objectively shit.

He means an HD broadcast you numbskull.

Broadcast quality 1080p has always been shit here anyway.

Never ever watched it.

Only ever stream and p2p

Most of Australia just recently got DSL. 5 years ago more than half the population were still on dialup. It was only a year ago they begun broadcasting digital television phasing out the traditional analog signal. They've been rolling out more copper lines to cope with the population demand as well since the largest ISP has a contract to supply high speed DSL exceeding 1Mbps for the next 850 years.

It really is the lucky country.

7mate.

>Broadcast quality 1080p has always been shit here anyway.
How would you know?
We never had 1080p, and we only got real 1080i very recently (like since the end of 2015).

Aerial signals are by far most popular, and the channels available on cable from aerial are usually at the same specs.

Had most of its playout done in SD and then upscaled for transmission (like GEM, News 24, 7mate, etc). It was quite rare to get a native HD broadcast on 7mate.
Even things like the AFL until last year were produced in SD by the Seven Network (even if shown on 7mate like in the eastern states).

superRes niggers
Shit is dope

>Be Australian
>Celebrate Easter
you can't make this shit up

>be american
>don't have an america day

You literally,

LITERALLY,

cannot illicitly fabricate this prose.

>be American
>denounce Easter because of its association with chocolate eggs
>NSA starts wiretapping churches for illegal contraband

The profit on those fuckers are huge, retailers make big bucks off them

>They've been rolling out more copper lines

You guys know the rest of the world uses glass fiber now, right?

...

>Had most of its playout done in SD and then upscaled for transmission

Why the fuck would you even do that?

His post is a giant meme.

mate that stuff is just snake oil haha its same as copper haha but a hundred times more expensive haha what a drungo using glass fiber stuff haha

We do. We're a first rate country being ruled by fourth rate politicians.

Our government is bought out by Murdoch. So if we run fiber cables that will get in the way of his precious PayTV monopoly, and the only reason our current government got into power was because of the 100% full blast biased propaganda he drowned the country with for months at a time before the last election for idiots to drink up.

21st century and we are literally building Fiber to the Node, obsolete trash that is being thrown out by every other civilised country and totally skipped by the developing ones all because some short-sighted fucksticks have a pathological need to oppose everything and get elected AT ANY FUCKING COST.

Fuck yeah guys, lets be kings of the backwater nuclear waste dump and rivers poisoned by mining corporations. Sure our people are destitute, our high tech jobs are tripping over themselves to get away and our infrastructure is falling apart and everyone knows we suck on the cocks of our corporate masters... but at least we'll be the kings :^)

4k TVs. Fucking hilarious. Its like taking a Ferarri on a dirt track. Anyone who buys one without having fiber internet is a colossal cuck.

Wtf is up with that, my phone films higher resolution video than most tv stations here

Your phone isn't transmitting that video to a whole country.

I'm about to head off.
I'll post about it later.

I remember the original argument against HD was that they had to build all new decors for all shows.

Because apparently everything you saw on TV was so utter shit quality it simply wasn't fit for HD capture.

>without having fibre internet
What kind of backwater rural shithole do you live in user

Australia

>decor
More like that HD was sharp enough that you could clearly see all the wrinkles and imperfections of the faces of the women on TV, HD porn had the same problem

I am Australian, even small remote cities like Cairns have fibre now. Yet again what kind of town in buttfuck nowhere do you live if you don't have fibre by now? Winton?

Probably, yeah.

He's just a whiny little arsewipe. Having said that, a lot of bush places are getting fibre early, to appease people like Barnaby Joyce.

Yeah, there are quite a few black spots, where I live adsl isn't even available, just 4G

>quite a few black spots,
Yep

Its why people in the cities have to put up with 3G/4G and Satellite?

Strange times

Everywhere. Do you think that the whole of Australia can get connected by fibre in the space of 3 years?

>some gentrified east coast town has fibre
What a fucking surprise. Time to go outside and acquire a little bit more scope of your own country, user.

emus

>owning a TV set in 2016

it's just a big screen, you sperg
