I was wondering if I was the only one who thought it looked worse in HD, everything looks so much more fake and those weird scenic shots are just odd  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Totally agree, couldn't work out what was different other than it looks like an amateur TV show.
So far as the panoramic shots of Auckland I wondered if tehy were looking to market it overseas so getting a plug in for NZ. ------------- Caroline, SAHM to 2 boys, S (4 years old) and J (2 years old)

Our TV is HD, it makes the picture look 10 x better it just makes the scenes look strange, I dunno. But in a week I'm sure it'll just look normal. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I was also thinking it's like the olden days - looks like the reruns they have on one of those TVNZ channels.

I love love love HD, everything looks so much better, we have HD TV's & HD Mysky...BUT I think Shorty have not compensated for how HD will show & the make up team need to change tactics & there camera work need to get a bit quicker...IMO.
I love to hate or hate to love Shorty but their acting skills are not on par with others & the crisp clear picture does nothing to cover that up... You will get used to the look of it & after awhile forget what it used to be like...look wise... |

Cant say it bothers me that much, I think it looks quite cool and I like all the shots of the city etc they are doing.
You'll get used to it ------------- |
