BBC HD Summer Fixtures
Yes - I share the frustration on The Open this year.
I keep asking the question and getting the same answer from the various parties involved, so it is safe to confirm to you that it will be in HD starting from next year.
But I also want to bring you news of programmes coming to BBC HD rather sooner.
Knowing the enjoyment that many of you get from the US series Heroes, which we've shown over three series now together with BBC Two, we're going to be offering those of you who didn't have HD at the time - or just hadn't caught up with the programme - another chance to watch series one of Heroes on Saturday nights. We'll be running a double bill of Heroes at 11.30 every weekend, starting with this, ahead of the start of series 4 (again on BBC Two and BBC HD) which should be in October.
Other summer fixtures include our Music Festival season with sets from across the country on Thursday nights at 10.30. The range will be pretty broad and while I'm sure not to everyone's taste, I hope you'll find something in there to enjoy. We've also got Friday night films, running at 10.30, through to the Autumn when Jonathan Ross will be back for another series.
If you are going away this summer, I hope the separation from your HD set won't be too painful - and there's always BBC iPlayer. And for those of you that are at home I do hope you'll sample what we have to offer.

Great! Films are now going to be aired on friday nights on BBC HD. This is the type of programming we want from BBC HD. And by the way BBC iplayer cannot be accessed when abroad, which is highly annoying!

Great news on Heroes. Series 1 was aired before I got HD.
Also good news about the Open. Are there any plans to broadcast any of the Australian or French Open tennis in HD next year? (Even if you just did Andy Murray's matches or the final that would be a good start)

The Freeview HD rollout is, officially
- from Winter Hill onways, at switchover multiplex "HD" BBC B will be carried on ALL transmitters, both the current Freeview ones and the switched-over relays;
-> Wenvoe, Mendip and Durris all switch next year anyway.
- anywhere switched over before Winter Hill (December 2009) will have the "HD" BBC B multiplex 12 months from switchover.
-> Stockland Hill, Calbeck, Caradon Hill will have switched this year, so they get the HD service in the "plus one year rule" (Sandale closed).
in addition, the "BBC B HD multiplex" will be broadcast AT LOW POWER from selected transmitters before switchover. These are as per #6 list.
-> Crysal Palace, which we know is getting the service in November, and then the list of remaining main transmitters would be:
Sandy Heath*, Sutton Coldfield (via Lichfield May 2010);
Emley Moor (May 2010);
Belmont*, Bilsdale*, Black Hill (April 2010), Divis*, Oxford*, Pontop Pike (April 2010), Rowridge*;
Hannington*, Sudbury*, Tacolneston* and Waltham*
* = HD at switchover, not before.

@trevorjharris "I still do not understand why neither the French Open Tennis or the World swimming championships were in HD when an HD feed was available. I would guess the extra cost would have been minimal."
As the majority of BBC HD viewers watch via Sky HD and as Eurosport is included in the basic £10 mix, all Sky HD viewers were able to watch both of these events in HD.
I suppose if they were just taking the feed it would still be expensive, but of course the BBC send presentation to the events as well which would put the cost up even more.
Personally, I would prefer the BBC to spend their HD budget on programming that is exclusively shown on the BBC. There's little point duplicating for the minority, who don't watch via Sky. Of course events that take a lot of broadcasting hours like the Olympics and IAAF can be justified.

#12 thanks NR. It really is frustrating that in these days of complex contracts that the timetable is kept so under wraps. In the good old 1970's new transmitter development dates were known and made public months (indeed years) in advance. So much for progress.
The BBC, Commercial sector, DMOL, Digital UK, Arqiva, Ofcom et al need to get their act together and publish the timetable imminently, albeit with caveats about planning etc.

Freeview is an important market for BBC HD and as viewers of the platform who are contemplating buying equipment need to be able to budget accordingly in advance for the expenditure. The timetable is therefore crucial to that process, if we are to get in at the start.

@derek500. Citing Sky HD does something is no sane ultimate reason for justifying a particular policy. It is among the aims of the people doing these blogs as well as many others that the service of which you continually refer to and plug at every opportunity isn't the totally dominant one for viewers of BBC HD and you know this perfectly well. Taken to it's ultimate conclusion, PSBs duplicate what paytv ones do, you know where this is heading...
@Nick Reynolds, I'd like to hear why talking about freeview HD is deemed off topic when someone else can bang on about Sky HD and even have semi-direct product plugs in their posts? I would mirror what ChrisCornwall has said, it is very much in BBC HD's interest to get HD take up on the platforms other than the one mentioned on here all the time...
Really glad that films are getting a definite slot every week for a bit. Good call and restoring a bit of the diversity the channel prides itself on.

I can see exactly where Derek500 is coming from in relation to the Swimming championships and I have to aggree.
This sport is covered Eurosport HD, a channel who has greater picture quality and is not a premium channel. No disrespect to the sport, but how many people are really going to watch Swimming??? I wouldnt have thought Swimming was going to set the ratings on fire. Why invest in something most of your viewers can already easily watch.
Now in regards to Snooker, The BBC really need to get this filmed in HD. Even if the BBc wont show this in HD at least they can give the feed to Eurosport.
Also Im looking forward to the Music shows. Hopefully we may get some decent bands on.

@ OP Danielle
Like the picture. Looks great without a logo in the corner.
As for extending HD for freeview, it's very nice, but before any money is thrown at it, the relay transmitters should be upgraded to the same standard as main transmitters, so every viewer can receive the same SD channels.

@ ropies. I'm only quoting facts. More people watch BBC HD through Sky HD than any other provider and when BSkyB's Q4 results are published on Thursday, the gap will be shown to have widened even more.
Of course that's good news for all BBC HD viewers. The more licence payers watching BBC HD, the more money the channel will get.
As for the Swimming, the BBC don't really care about it. Whilst I was watching Gemma Spofforth winning her gold medal and breaking a world record in HD on Eurosport, BBC2 was showing Celebrity Cash in the Attic and history was relegated to 'red button'.

Of course I agree that the swimming is probably not value for money at this point in time for BBC HD I just don't see the point waffling on about other things. That said I think the BBC should continue to look at the very long list of possible sports other than the big events such as Olympics and Football World Cup and think what can we do. That's very much in line with OB units and the Snooker sort of thinking.
On the topic of sport, for all the (almost endless) complaints about (the small amount of) sport on BBC HD, Wimbledon smashed the ratings record for the channel by miles (270,000) and interestingly enough after some very poor ratings for the channel after this notched up some great viewing figures for Torchwood. So well done and it shows you what you can do.
I reiterate, a film on at a fixed time every week is a nice little spinner to keep the channel ticking over the summer and in the interest of balance for the channel, a healthy thing - there has been a lack of films. I think your Heroes idea might go down quite well too.

Sky HD has added another 291,000 homes in the last quarter. That's more than Freesat HD has achieved since it's launch.

i agree about the swimming, i wanted to watch that on BBCHD or at the least BBC2, instead i had to watch it on the red button which is a poor 544x576i quality, the highlights are aired on BBC2 the day after for 1hr in regular 720x576i resolution but i think some of the races aren't aired on that. Its on eurosporthd, surely you could air the 1hr highlights program on BBCHD or even the live feed. Swimming in SD looks very poor as splashing water is incredibly pixelated especially at low bitrates. The olympic swimming on BBCHD last year was incredible, there are only 2 world championships per year and swimming has become rather popular since we won 2 gold medals and michael phelps becoming the greatest olympian of all time.
not having the French Open in HD was unforgivable. US Open Tennis is on in 1 month, PLEASE air murray's matches on BBCHD and also the semi's and finals of the mens and womens in HD.

I agree, but when resources are tight why duplicate coverage when the vast majority of BBC HD viewers can see HD coverage of the same events on other channels?
If the BBC have any spare money in their sports' budget, let them spend it on their own coverage e.g. The Ladies' British Open on this week.

Thanks for listening to us and I'm really glad that you're now putting some films on, at last, and dogless too; I'm so pleased. However, I have to say that I've just watched the History Boys and I was very disappointed to note that the picture quality didn't seem to be particularly good. In fact, if it wasn't on BBC HD I'd have been sure that it was only an SD picture. Is it because of the low bandwidth and poor encoders that Wednesday83 always speaks of? Or was there some other reason? If so, what?
Also, as head of BBC HD, if you were frustrated about not showing the Open in HD too why don't you explain to us what your reason was? Everyone from the tournament Organisers, the US TV channels, you and many of your viewers, seems to have wanted it to be shown in HD, so there must have been something that prevented you from doing so. What could that have been?
Finally, I don't want to have to get personal but Derek500 is really beginning to annoy me on these Blogs. As someone else has noted here already, he is quite blatantly plugging Sky (if you don't believe me, just check out his previous comments). Why? Does he work for them or something? And why do the moderators allow him to keep doing this when they stop others from expressing their opinions? Please ignore his recommendation that the BBC should not show things on BBC HD that are already available on Sky HD. I, like many others I'm sure, don't have Sky, and won't ever get it. It really cheeses me off that, owing to Sky, I can't now watch the Test cricket or the Lions on the BBC where it belongs (or Lost on Ch 4), and I really think that it should be prevented from creaming off anything more from the British TV licence payers, and viewing public, and restricting our freedom of choice.
What I'm sure eveyone wants is for the BBC to put more effort into making HD TV the default viewing medium than any other broadcaster, Sky included. At the moment, to me, that seems to be a long way off but I'm sure you're trying your best. Do keep up your efforts towards the day when BBC HD gives us more films, more sports, more music (all kinds), more original programming, more 5.1 sound and more HD hours than Sky. And, of course, HD Top Gear (by the way - is there any news on when we can expect that?)

I'm sorry if you think I plug Sky, but I'm a realist not an idealist. HD is in a small minority of homes at present and you can't expect the BBC to spend the licence payers' money on something that 90% of them can't receive. Note, Sky charge an extra fee for HD so non HD viewers aren't subsidising HD viewers.
Thirty odd years ago the BBC did something similar when the colour licence was introduced, same principle.
As more licence payers become HD enabled the BBC will no doubt up the HD budget.
The horrible truth for you, is that it is Sky that are pushing HD forward in this country, with 14% of its 9m+ subscribers with HD.
The additional 291,000 homes that Sky HD added in the last quarter is good news for all BBC HD viewers and I'm sure Danielle is over the moon that her channel can now be received in more and more homes.

Because the BBC is there to provide a public service, one which is there to cater for everyone.
Thats why there is a protected sports list. To stop SKY monopolising content, distorting the market, and charging people who are prepared to pay to watch it and therefore restricting access to said sport by the general public.
Has the cost of watching football gone up or down since Sky came along?
I used to have SKY, don't hate it, but think it is poor value for money. I dont want to have to shell out another £25 a month to sky to see these sports. Nor do many others

Is that really the reason? It seems to me that Sky charge an extra fee for absolutely everything, and that's what really puts me off.
I say this because I actually did look into it getting it once and I found that paying to get the Sky kit and subscription is not the end of the story. Next you have to pay for a different package to see the things that you actually want to, then you have to pay again to see anything that's remotely popular, and then you pay again to see it in HD. Then, when you've paid through the nose for all of that you have to sit through hours of adverts too which, whenever I've seen the Sky channels at someone else's house, seem to be on for longer than the programmes.
Keep plugging Sky here if you like but I don't think you'll ever convince me to get it.

We're talking HD on this blog and Sky's HD userbase has more than doubled in the last year.
As for DTT, people will of course need to buy a new TV or STB in order to watch HD broadcasts on Freeview, so that will limit uptake.
As for pricing of Sky, I get a full month's HD package, with loads of HD sports, HD films, HD Drama, HD Opera, HD Music, HD Documentaries all for the price of one ticket for one day at a Test Match. Plus the ability to watch the free BBC HD, C4 HD and ITV HD. Is that so expensive?
@ paul-geaton
I will never convince you to get Sky, you need to do that yourself.
If you want to watch Test Cricket, The Lions tour or Lost it's the only way to do it. The BBC have even left Test Cricket off their proposed new 'Crown Jewels' list.
Don't forget Sky also cover the away test matches live and in HD. Before Sky these were never shown!!

Whilst still in the minority, Virgin Media are likely to increase their HD customer base thanks to (finally!!) adding additional linear HD channels to their line-up. And at no extra cost to those on the existing XL package.
Not an immediate threat to Sky, granted, but it is bound to increase BBCHD viewing figures from a source other than Sky so the potential exists to even the playing field somewhat.

As for all these sky comments. If freeview HD takes off (which is a big if, as I have serious doubts about it) then it will do a great deal for BBC HD viewing figures. The issue is content. It's fairly well known that a lot of people want the terrestrial five in HD, when someone comes along and tells them BBC HD is 9hrs a day, ITV HD is a red button service that C4 isn't even on there it is understandable they are somewhat disappointed and say they'll wait a few years.

I've never said other platforms should go without some HD programmes or subsbcribe to Sky.
My point was the BBC should look first at its own programming before offering HD on programmes that can be viewed by the majority of BBC HD's viewers.
Surely the OFCOM protected rights events should be given first dibs of the HD spending budget, as these can't be shown by other broadcasters. The Grand National, The Derby, The Open (confirmed from 2010)come to mind.
Why when Sky/BBC share golf tournaments (new arrangement from 2009 Thursday/Friday Sky, weekend BBC) do they use BBC's SD facilities and not European Tour Productions' HD kit? It's doesn't look good for the Corporation when the Sky commentators have to apologise for the lack of HD and blame the BBC.

When the BBC HD fund is tiny to start with, why would they waste money on covering something most of their viewers can watch already??? It was bad enough we could not have the open Golf in HD, and wasting precious money on something already accessible to many would just not be a sensible way to use the budget.
The argument is nothing to do with skys so called monopoly, its just common sense.

The type of sport or ratings are not relevant here with this principle.
Just because something is available on a SKY subscription channel is no reason not to make available on a BBC channel.
Otherwise you have to start saying the same even with popular content surely? It's still duplication and therefore wasted LF money by your logic.
I am not actually arguing the validity of the BBC spending on the particular events mentioned.
The BBC is a public service broadcaster. That public includes non sky subscribers. Or are you saying that the BBC shouldn't cater for freesat, freeview HD when it arrives
So, how many non sky platform users are needed for it becomes valid for the BBC to duplicate content?
You could even argue if sky users want to pay a subscription for content that is already on the BBC then surely thats up to them?

BTW from the information I have access to, Sky HD has about 1.3 million subscribers as of July 31st.
Freesat has over 250000 HD users as of March. Based on the previous quarters growth ther could by now be 300000 users.
Not counting non freesat platform users of course.

Im not saying never show an HD broadcast when its available on another channel in HD, but when its something like Swimming that not too many people appear to watch and its available elsewhere then thats when I believe they should not bother with paying for an HD broadcast.
If its something big like the Olympics then yes of course they should get the HD broadcast and give the choice.
But in a time when shows such as Open Golf, Top gear, Eastenders, casualty and Holby City are not even HD, theres no way the BBC should waste money on HD swimming when available elsewhere.

Yes, I accept your points here. I am also frustrated at the lack of the top programs in HD.
Again I am not arguing the validity of the BBC paying for the sports mentioned.
Just against the idea that just because a SKY channel carries it means the BBC shouldn't.
As the figures show there are actually quite a lot of non sky BBCHD users. IMHO the gap will reduce dramatically once freeview HD gets going.

Virgin Media had circa 612,000 V+ (i.e. HD boxes) in customer homes as at 31/03/09. These same customers will have access to BBCHD but not sky's premium HD channels.
If Freesat has 250,000 customers, that's approaching 0.9m non-Sky viewers capable of watching BBCHD. That 1.3m Sky figure (as at 31/07/09) doesn't seem so impressive now does it?

I didn't intend my post #40 to prompt a full-scale debate between derek500 and tagmaclaren, but my thanks to the latter for backing me up. To reiterate the point, just because Sky has something on in HD there is absolutely no reason why the BBC shouldn't also be allowed to show it; not to do so would be ridiculous and would exclude millions of Brits from their right to access new HD programmes, of which the BBC show too few anyway.
I am confused by derek500's argument though, as he seems to be suggesting that the BBC is wasting scarce HD resources by showing the swimming in HD. Well if the BBC are showing it in HD, I can't find it on my telly. It's on BBC2 now but I can't see it anywhere in the BBC HD schedule. I wish I could!
While I'm commenting here, thanks Danielle for last night's music programmes. A great evening of entertainment, at last, and the picture quality was back up to a good standard too, particularly after the other night's hiccup with the History Boys. I thought the programme on Handel was particularly good, as was the excellent 5.1 sound on the Proms.
And, whilst just looking at your scedules, I see that Wallander episode 2 is on in HD tonight. As I said before in an earlier post, I couldn't understand why you weren't simulcasting the Wallander repeats that they've been showing on BBC4 for the last month now with an HD version. Perhaps you read that comment and decided to put that situation right, albeit with a few weeks delay. If so thanks, though it's a shame that there wasn't any publicity for the decision, which meant that I never realised and actually missed episode 1 last week.

Re The History Boys. The BBC have an internal policy that programmes filmed on 16mm film will not be post produced in HD for broadcast for quality reasons.
This is why many BBC programmes like Ashes to Ashes and Merlin aren't shown in HD.
The History Boys was filmed on 16mm and the distributor has scanned an HD copy for broadcast.
This could be why the PQ was not up to scatch and the BBC's policy of 35mm minimum is correct.

Further to my post #67, now that I've just watched your version of the Wallander programmes in HD I've realised that it's a totally different series to the one being shown on BBC4. I'm sorry that I complained to you that you weren't simulcasting it, it all makes sense now, and so my thanks for the repeat of the HD series which I missed first time round.
All in all, it was another very good day's entertainment on BBC HD, so well done. You've really impressed me with your choice of programmes this weekend.
Just a couple of comments, when you commission shows in HD please try and get them to make them with 5.1 sound too. I think HD and 5.1 should always be part of an integrated package, and if theyre going to the bother of making something in HD then using 5.1 sound too should be the default.
Also, regarding scheduling it would be good if your top evening programmes were on a little earlier so that they're finished by midnight, especially when the following day is a work day. With such a good line up today I realise this would have meant a 1530 start, but perhaps you should seriously consider starting earlier at the weekends. In fact, with a much earlier start you could have found time to put on some of the sport that lots of people are calling for. If you could do that for us then I'd be really really impressed.

It has to be the best american import I've ever seen on your channel. It has such a great storyline, clever subtle comedy and a visual style and superb period music that just have to be seen and heard in HD and 5.1 surround sound. If there is a delay, please repeat all 26 episodes from seasons 1 and 2 for us in such a way that they conclude just as season 3 starts.

We have championship football on Saturday and BBC HD need to get this right or be a total laughing stock. Running it at 9mbps is going to destroy the football. You have to up the bandwith saturday to at least 14mbps+.
If you are serioulsy going to be running the football at only 9mbps on saturday then i hope the football is taken away from BBC.

Unless this means the launch of two more BBC HD channels in the nearish future on tx50 I'm not amused at all. What a shambles, taking a big positive (new encoders) and ruining it.

New encoders up and running today (around 02:00 this morning) but there is a bit more work to do to get the full network up. There should be no significant change in quality, many programmes should look better in fact. We are looking at ways of dealing with the noise issue on some programmes and formats (e.g. Super16 and cameras/recorders using less than 50Mbs).
More details to follow later

There is an excellent BBC white paper about all the advantages of even higher frame rates at http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rd/pubs/whp/whp-pdf-files/WHP169.pdf - so is there any possiblity we will have even higher frame rates in the future, since the BBC white paper demonstrates the how much better it would be on modern progressive displays.

First impressions on 'Spanish Flu' are quite good - a bit of grain on low-light scenes but I think that's in the production. I'll post if I spot any specifics.

Why the hell lower the bandwith so low just because you have changed encoders??? Do you realise that Eurosport HD is running on same sort of encoders and up to 20mbps??? The results are stunning.
The change of encoders was a perfect chance for BBC to make a stance on quality and leave the bandwith as it was giving fantastic quality. Instead its been totally ruined by a team who for me seem hell bent on ruining the channel. You could have easily left the bandwith at 16mbps and enjoyed the posotive comments about the quality. Instead youve made many viewers angry.
BBC HD had no reason to reduce the bandwith.
people should stop watching the channel in protest.

Have you seen their budget for the year?
Or their upcoming plans?
Or their testing methods for the new encoders?
Or their orders from senior management?
You have no idea for their reasons. Granted, neither do I. But just because there are no reasons that you can see, or that you would agree with, doesn't mean there are no reasons at all.
It just means there are none you'd accept, which actually makes it less likely for them to want to give answers. Why spend time explaining reasoning to people who are dead-set on things being a certain way? If all you expect them to counter with is "But you should do it this way, anyway" then it's a waste of breath. (Been there, done that, save explanations for the understanding types these days)
> What BBC HD needs is someone in charge who will say
> "I want the best I can get".
And sometimes, working technically, the best you can get still isn't good enough for the end user. Whether realistically (system fails) or not (user wants a a phoenix, but budget is chicken-feed), sometimes the end-user expectations just are not acheivable.
Heck, maybe this itself is a compromise. For all we know, maybe they were told to drop the bandwidth this low and they said only with the better encoders? Or maybe not, but we just don't know.
Problem is, there's a bit of "Boy Who Cried Wolf" now.
From the looks of it, there has been an actual reduction in quality this time around.
Sadly, the voices complaining are mainly the same ones who've been making the exact same complaints and demands all year - even with the former bandwidth. Now is the time when the complaints need to be heard, but they'll be hitting mental filters.

Apple CEO Tim Cook has revealed that this year's WWDC keynote will not be an all-male affair.
The Apple head honcho was making an appearance at an orientation event for the winners of the company's WWDC Scholarship Program just a day ahead of the WWDC 2015 event itself.
Cook told Mashable of his belief that "the most diverse group will produce the best product." With regard to the current lack of female presence in the tech industry, he admitted that "we haven't done enough to reach out and show young women that it's cool to do it and how much fun it can be."
The Apple CEO then claimed that prominent female role models were needed to inspire women to enter the tech industry. Understandably, then, Cook was questioned about the lack of female presence at the company's own WWDC keynotes.
"I totally agree with you," Cook said. "You'll see a change tomorrow."
Related: Opinion: Tim Cook's privacy blast must apply to Apple too
Who might this female keynote presenter be? Well, there is currently just one woman on Apple's senior management team, and that's senior vice president of retail and online stores Angela Ahrendts.
Just below this top tier there's vice president of environmental initiatives Lisa Jackson, and vice president of worldwide human resources Denise young Smith.
Our money's on Ahrendts, perhaps talking about the progress of the Apple Watch and the unique retail experience Apple has created to sell it in-store. Or maybe it will be someone who is working further down the company's hierarchy on a specific Apple product? We'll find out more from 6pm tonight, UK time.

The 20 Most Heartbreaking Celebrity Breakups of 2015
Consider this your all-around recap of the 2015 splits that tore our hearts in two.
Consider this your all-around recap of the 2015 splits that tore our hearts in two.
If that brief clip from earlier this week featuring the Dark Knight being unmasked by the Man of Steel didn't do the trick for you, then you're in luck because Warner Bros. has released a new, full trailer from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Following the premiere on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the latest preview for the epic superhero battle is now online for your viewing pleasure, featuring plenty of new footage of Bats, Supes, Wonder Woman and more.
If you didn't tune into Gotham tonight, you missed the premiere of the latest sneak peek at Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice — no worries if you didn't catch it on FOX, because Warner Bros. has released the special teaser online, featuring new footage of the epic battle between Ben Affleck's Dark Knight and Henry Cavill's Man of Steel.
With all the couples that bit the dust this year, this is a recap of the relationships that fell apart in 2015.
Part of the fun comic book fans have had over the years is debating which superhero could defeat which superhero. Could Wolverine beat The Hulk? Could the X-Men beat The Avengers? There have been entire lines of books devoted to this very topic. Heck, Batman vs. Superman and Captain America: Civil War are both based on this very conceit. So, you can't blame Matt Damon for getting into the fun when asked if his Jason Bourne, who he calls "my superhero", could take his pal Ben Affleck's Batman. As you might expect, Damon's not stepping down from the challenge.
Could it be the separated Hollywood A-listers are giving things another shot?
"We go forward with love and friendship for one another," the couple said in a statement.
When Warner Bros. announced their upcoming superhero schedule last year, one title notably missing was a solo Batman movie. Sure, Batman was going to be a big part of both Batman vs. Superman and the two Justice League movies, but would Batfleck be getting his own trilogy, a la The Dark Knight? It turns out, yes, yes he will. Latino Review is reporting that Ben Affleck will both star in and direct the spinoff, titled The Batman, which is set for November 2018.
Todd Epp's Virginia ancestors helped defend slavery in the Civil War. He's not happy about it, but history is messy, just like families.
If it's Saturday at Comic-Con, it's time for the big guns to come out, and Warner Bros. has done that with some serious style. The studio's panel opened with a big, bruising look at 'Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice,' thanks to a new trailer (and more on that to come -- much more!), before director Zack Snyder trotted out stars Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, and Gal Gadot to greet their fans.

New-To-You Gear
By mjaber on 1/14/13
oober Mike Jaber just can't get enough. He's already submitted three guest columns and we're only a couple of weeks into 2013. I hope he inspires more oobers to share their on- and off-course experiences with us in the future! Enjoy!
It's almost that time of year. The PGA show is right around the corner, and everyone will be salivating over the newest, latest and greatest it tech for everyone to hit the ball longer, straighter, and higher. Even new balls will be on display, promising more yards, more spin, and more feel. I love tech stuff. I get excited over things like the CES show in Vegas. I don't get excited about the PGA show, as much as I get excited about what it means for me, as a budget golfer.
All the big names will be showing off their best, their brightest, their "new and improved" gear. That means that last years stuff is now (to quote an old Garfield cartoon) "Old and Inferior." At least, that's what they want you to believe. Don't fall in to the trap of thinking you need to have that bright, shiny new club. I don't care what new alloy they are using, how many slots they have put into the sole, or what color they have come up with to make it more appealing. At the end of the day, it will not perform that much better than last years that you need to spend the extra money on it over buying the club that was debuted at last years show.
If you live in an area that has 4 seasons, at least one of which prevents any type of golf, chances are that your clubs are in a closet, the basement or the garage. Mine are in the garage, and won't see light again until at least April. In the spring, when the snow melts, you'll dust them off and head out. You might be thinking about last season, and upgrading or adding a club into the mix to help your game. You probably read about the PGA show, and have checked out the different Hot Lists, read reviews and articles about different new clubs, and have settled on something, in theory. Ask yourself something before you go demo the club and fall in love with it. Ask yourself, "What model did this club replace?" Then go find it, either used or on a clearance rack. Try it out. You could save some big bucks by getting last years club.
With the new clubs coming, it won't be long before last year's clubs are being cleared out to make room, with discounts from 20-70% at most big retailers. Even better though, is the discounts you can get by waiting a little bit longer. Once the newest clubs have hit the stores, keep an eye on the used section, watch your favorite second-hand golf site, or stop in to a good second-hand store (sports-related, if possible). There are many people who believe that they simply have to have that new driver, and in order to prevent their wives' from looking too closely at their golf bag, they need to do something with the old one. So, they trade it in, or sell it out right. That trade-in is usually valued at about 10-20% of original retail MSRP. It's then marked up, and re-sold. I have yet to spend over $100 for a single club. I have bought 2 drivers at about $60 each. Even better, if you are replacing a club, you can probably get a few bucks for your old one, provided it is still usable. Most websites use the PGA Value Guide to tell you how much your club is worth. If you're at your local 2nd hand sporting goods store, you'll probably get a better deal, if you take a store credit instead of cash. They may even take stuff that isn't on the value guide, and give you a couple of bucks for it.
The only clubs I will never buy used are wedges (unless it's a Taylormade xFT wedge, and it comes with a new faceplate). Yes, there are deals to be had on this type of club, just like all the others, but the trouble is that there is no good way to find out how much use is left in them. I've read that you can test the sharpness of the grooves by dragging your thumbnail over the face, but I'm not sure I really trust this method. There are too many variables. Leave the used wedges on the racks, and go check out the discount section.
I'd love to have all new gear. I loved pulling the plastic off my first set of clubs, knowing that I was going to be the first person to ever use them. For most of us, though, money is tight. If you need to replace a club, or even your whole set, you can save at least enough money buying used, and clearance to play 20 rounds of golf at the course closest to me ($30/round, walking).
This was written by Mike Jaber, a reader/follower/fellow oober and the opinions are 100% his and do not reflect those of oobgolf in anyway. Enjoy! I'm sure he's ready for your feedback.

bkuehn1952 says:
I am with you, Mike. All my clubs are purchased lightly used or new but 1 or 2 model years past prime. Nice column (unless one is an OEM!).
GolfSmith7 says:
I like making my own clubs with parts from www.golfworks.com or www.gigagolf.com what I am trying to find is a non-name brand adjustable driver. The money I save this way is similar to buying brand name used.
legitimatebeef says:
More uncommon sense from MJaber. Good stuff. I am all in favor. When it comes to golf spending I'm stingy. But it's not just a matter of hoarding pennies it's also about saying SHOVE IT to all the OEM's and their regrettable snake-oil tactics. I just picked up a Titleist 905R, it's pretty old. It's from the Bush administration I think. It was a simpler time. People still had faith in the economy. Tiger Woods was still a respected member of the PGA Tour. The "Golf Boys" wasn't so much as a glimmer in Ben Crane's unfunny eye. A simpler time, some would say a better time. So yeah the driver's old but its pretty minty and it feels new to me. The Graphite Design shaft is a current model. The whole club costs me less than the price of the very same shaft on the aftermarket right now. Screw you Titleist!!!
GBogey says:
Another way to further the savings from buying "not the newest stuff" is to get on the email lists for either Golf Galaxy or Golfsmith. They send out sale specials / coupons about every month which can almost always be used on last season's models for another 10-20% off. One warning - if you are stuck on Ping, Titleist, or Mizuno, they are frequently excluded but almost of the other OEM's participate.
Duke of Hazards says:
i haven't bought brand new in a while. ebay and golfwrx BST classifieds are good places to pick up newer stuff that some dude bought new, hit a few times and then put up for sale at 70-80% of the original cost.
Tim Horan says:
Great post MJaber good timing too as I just bought a brand new Callaway Diablo Octane driver for £100 with a Project X shaft. It was in the ex- demo bucket at my club. It was never used and still had the plastic on it but is now not current model. Although the shaft is not ideal @ £100 I will re shaft with my usual shaft and recycle the Project X shaft into an older driver.
mjaber says:
I'm not sure how prevalent they are in other parts of the country, but we have franchise chains called Play It Again Sports. They basically take the stuff you can't/don't use anymore, give you cash or store credit for it, and re-sell what you gave them. They won't take everything (like my starter set- they didn't want it), but they'll take alot. It depends on the season, though. Right now, they'll take skis, ice skates, hockey equipment. In a couple months, they start taking golf clubs, baseball/softball equipment, roller skates/blades. It's really a great setup. I stop in a couple times each year, usually on a lunch break or on my way home from work.
Torleif Sorenson says:
GBogey: That's valuable information, since I'm kind of sweet on Mizuno's irons.
Mike, thanks for another excellent column that references a comic strip. And for somebody like me, with a limited budget, your article makes for worthwhile reading. Whether it will ultimately overcome my case of "gear lust" is yet to be determined. :)
Kurt the Knife says:
I can't think of buying new clubs. I figure until I can develop a decent, consistent swing, a 200.00 (My Mizuno MX-100s) set will deliver the ball as well as a 1000.00 (Miz JPX) set. The only clubs I ever bought new were my SCOR wedges.
My take on the major brands is they must come up with some new gimmick every year that really isn't going to be worth the difference in price c/w last year's model.
Really amounts to a lot of hype.
mjaber says:
@Kurt the Knife- You don't think changing the color of the insert on the back of the club makes the ball fly higher, straighter and longer?
bkuehn1952 says:
Oh oh! Mike Jaber may have inspired the next innovation, interchangeable driver crowns. White when it is cloudy, a matte black for sunny days, neon yellow for late evening play and "Tiger Woods" red for days when you want to intimidate the opposition.
Mr_X says:
Great article Mike. I agree completely. I too am a frugal golf equipment addict. I own 4 drivers, 3 fairway woods, 3 full sets of irons, plenty of wedges, 4 or 5 hybrids, 4 putters and 3 golf bags. (Thank god I have a basement!) The only clubs out of that motley crew that I bought retail were my Eidolon wedges and my newest Yes putter. And those items were at least 50% below retail. My best source for used clubs is golfWRX. These seller are guys who needs to try the latest and greatest clubs which don't work out. They sell it 6 months later to get something for their money. The equipment I have bought through them is in great shape, even the wedges. Most of what I own was purchased for 25% of original retail value or less.

Kochi, Sep.20 (ANI): A 24-year-old street bookseller in Kochi, who could not have formal education beyond seventh grade in school, has penned a collection of poems and has a novel in the offing.
The anthology titled 'Episode', with poems that talk of love, solitude, pain, loneliness was recently released at Kerala Sahitya Akademi in Thrissur, Kerala.
Shamnad had to give up his studies due to poverty and joined his father who used to sell second-hand books.
After his father's death, the responsibility of mother and three visually challenged sisters was on him.
Shamnad says that while sitting in a street corner with books of great writers spread before him at his shop to sale, he decided to explore his latent talent.
Having tried writing in spare time, Shamnad realised that he had developed an inclination to write.
"I noticed that everyone had some kind of skills but I never noticed mine. I could only read. I used to read with my old books to pass time. One day, I thought of penning down my thoughts and sufferings. Later, I started reading more books of many famous English writers, the novels translated in Malayalam language and magazines and that is how I developed deep interest in writing," says Shamnad.
His soulful poetry won him appreciation and a number of admirers including Vaisakhan, a famous Malayalam writer.
"Shamnad is a genuine poet. Actually his profession is that he is selling the books on the street side, but his poems are like gems. That shows education is not contributing much to the creativity of a person. He could write very very lofty ideas using very simple words,' says Vaisakhan about Shamnad's poetry.
With a novel in the offing, who knows Shamnad's books may be sharing shelf space with other famous names he today sells at his makeshift stall. By Juhan Samuel (ANI)

Synopsis: Casey Donovan has issues: hair, height and uncontrollable trips to the 19th century! And now this --she's accidentally taken Nate Mackenzie, the cutest boy in the school, back in time. Awkward.
Protocol pressures her to tell their 1860 hosts that he is her brother and when Casey finds she has a handsome, wealthy (and unwanted) suitor, something changes in Nate. Are those romantic sparks or is it just "brotherly" protectiveness?
When they return to the present, things go back to the way they were before: Casey parked on the bottom of the rung of the social ladder and Nate perched high on the very the top. Except this time her heart is broken. Plus, her best friend is mad, her parents are split up, and her younger brother gets escorted home by the police. The only thing that could make life worse is if, by some strange twist of fate, she took Nate back to the past again.
Which of course, she does.
Clockwise is a fast-paced, fun and entertaining novel. I loved it! I loved the whole concept where she travels back in time and she can't control any of it; that no one notices when she travels. I really liked, very much, how everything in the present sort of just freezes while she travels and even though she spends an indefinite amount of time there. When she comes back, everything's the same as when she left.
I was very pleased with this book. Even though in the beginning Casey is totally tongue-tied with Nate (aren't we all when we have such a huge crush?), she pulls on her big-girl panties and takes control of the situation when she accidentally takes Nate back in time. I liked how Nate had a pretty realistic reaction to everything. At first he thought it was a all a huge joke, instead of just buying it all or freaking out—it was great! It was pretty refreshing. The situations they face when they travel back are interesting and I loved how she managed to adapt herself to that era.
I can't wait to read ClockwiseR!
