So Rush and eden are in 1080i on DVB-T, and although Sky's website says that only eden is in HD, it actually isn't. It's not sharp and the text are fuzzy. The 8pm news was probably the worst; it was constantly pixellated. Anyone having the same issue?

Where on Sky's website did you find it saying eden is HD? It certainly isn't HD as broadcast.

I suspect sky is using the Freeview broadcast for their customers.

Newshub news is naturally nasty (I watched it to make sure) as the story ingress is mostly SD, i.e., only studio and some local content is HD. Would be the worst news presentation I've ever seen.

Sky's HD page shows Eden but without HD symbol.

You mean from the Freeview satellite? The satellite feeds does have a reputation of not carrying the HD versions of the channels.

I do notice that, especially when that shows onto Three Now it becomes worst. But this was different. Even the footage in studio was fuzzy until the presenter's face was unrecognisable.

Strange isn't it. Why would they do that?

 
 
 

Move to New Zealand's best fibre broadband service (affiliate link). Note that to use Quic Broadband you must be comfortable with configuring your own router.

Sky has gotten back to say that they are indeed using the Freeview satellite feed for those 2 channels that aren't in HD.
