The host nation broadcaster (RAI?) from Italy are not using real high definition cameras. Their footage is standard resolution which they enlarge and re-crop to 16 X 9 picture dimension so viewers who don't know any better think they are seeing real 1080i pictures. The Italian broadcast quality is garbage. Go back and look at the German and Swiss broadcasts from before the Tour de Ski went to Toblach. You can see how much more sharp the video is. The Italian network is using the terrible fuzzy looking aerial helicopter camera because they have hardly any ground level HD camera stations out on the course. I just ruined my upload/download ratio on rgfootball.net by downloading this races. Unless the Italians use better cameras at Val di Fiamme stages I recommend people not download the fake HD and just get the smaller video files.
