Commonwealth Games 2010 India HI DEF Broadcasting

[kskies2]

The commentators on the Doordarshan feed were repetitive and annoying (as they kept talking during the spectacles, when they should've just let the viewers watch in peace), and the program packaging and advertisements throughout the opening ceremony were low quality as well. Although India is hosting this event, the BBC feed was superior to the DD feed in almost every way. In other words, the little things that bothered me on Doordarshan's coverage were eliminated by BBC. One of the BBC commentators was an Indian, so it wasn't as if they didn't know what they were talking about with regards to Indian culture, and they were precise, concise, and not repetitive. It seems as though the CBC version was too pro-Canada, and they weren't as immersed into the Indian cultural elements. As for the HD, it was not top-notch quality, if compared to other international events like the Olympics and FIFA. That said, it is still a huge advancement in terms of picture quality for Indian television.
