is it me or are they using different cameras this year? only when they move or pan round, it seems blurred, like you get when u watch american tv

that is exactly what i thought! especially the american bit.

Ah finally some has mentioned this, i noticed this during the live show, when they were in the main area thinggy, when they moved it was blurred a bit

I was thinking that too....don't like it one bit!

Filming in widescreen remember.

im not sure whether i like it in widescreen, perhaps its cos im used to it in 4:3 format but yea, seems slightly wierd on the eyes

^ yeah what adam said. If you switch to widescreen it'll go. I noticed that and so did it and its better now.

I was watching in Widescreen!!!!!!!

even if its filmed in widescreen u shouldnt get the blurriness, bbc and itv do it but dont have blurred effect

Yes I noticed this straight away. They are using the american format for some reason. No idea why. It's not the clear british TV we all know and love. Might be an idea to find out from C4 why they made the change. Probably costs.

shouldnt make a difference, if it did, then all progs on itv and bbc too that are filmed in w/screen would be blurry too! But they arent!

Either the cameras used in the runs were bought on the cheap, or, since there were no such problems on the external shots, it suggests there might be some sort of filter or pulldown or something happening in the chain between the house and uplink.

It's nothing to do with widescreen. It looks like they have changed the format that they are filming in.

Looks a lot like the American TV format to me.

So a technical glitch? Let's hope so, it was really distracting.

If by the American format you're referring to NTSC, I find that unlikely. Whilst the bluriness does allude to the 30>24fps conversion it doesn't look like a result of being filmed in NTSC.

the blue lights flicker on my tv

Yeah, it did have that American Style 'blur' to it, which I'm hoping is kept through the series and should be used for more UK programmes..

i do hope they change it, cos its annoying!

It would have to change, as they couldn't broadcast this for the Channel 4 programme, they may change it to digital clear quality as the days go on, keep watching.

Perhaps it is fake widescreen, where they zoom in on a 4:3 image reducing the clarity.

the remote cameras inside the house are fine just the ones in camera run

It does look very American. I dont like it.

i see they still have that "blurriness" to the picture, oh well sure we'll get used to it

I don't know any of the technical jargon but the way the picture looks on BB this year seems the same as it would all the other years if you just make your eyes go out of focus a tiny bit. I was watching the news on ITV just now and it was clear but when I made my eyes go ever so slightly out of focus it was exactly how Big Brother looks this year.

I thought we lived in an age of high definition not reversing definition. I'm certainly not a fan of it.
