Ssn hd

[Marc1901]

What...that the picture quality is so good ? You prefer a worse quality pic ?

The whole new layout on the screen just looks horrible and it doesn't bother me if the picture is better if im being honest.

I'm actually quite excited to get home and see it for myself now.

*sad*

Satellite bandwidth, the HD channels are being squeezed and hence the picture quality is not as good as it could be, although its still far superior to SD.

Sorry yea..understand. If thats the case, then maybe HD will be no better than SD when everything goes to HD

Is it just me, or does that sentence make no sense whatsoever ?

What im saying......if the bandwidths are being stretched , then HD will look the as SD does now , when all channels are HD... (because as ive been told bandwidth will have to be shared between more HD channels which will compress the pic more and more)
Dont know what you dont understand !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I must talk to my engineering/technical friends at Sky to find out exactly what the bandwidth situation is ..be useful to know !

I do kind of get what you mean. It'd still be better than SD, but the HD won't be quite as good HD as it was.

Thats the only thing with HD - you do get noticably different degrees of HD quality across the programmes channels (and depending on whether it was actually filmed in HD or not). Some so-called HD I've seen has been quite crap, but on the whole, Sky Sports coverage is excellent HD.

Similar with blu-ray. Some of them are superb, whilst others don't look much better than standard DVD.

Its hardly essential, I agree.
But when you've been watching the HD sports channels and you flick over to SSN for a gander, the sudden drop in picture quality is quite noticable. So in that respect, its good that they're now just bringing it into line with the rest of their coverage.

But yes, I could quite easily have continued my existance without it.

Totally agree with this, needed to be done to keep SSN in line with the other SS channels. But wouldn't have lost any sleep if it had remained standard definition.

Millie Clode did look pretty damn good this morning though

Sadly, every single word of it .... but unfortunately for me I'm from a generation that always thought 'Bandwidth' was a measurement of how far across the stage the Rolling Stones performed?

Half of you reading that will probably be saying "Rolling who?"

Oddly, i think Eurosport HD is supposed to be the best quality HD.

On a side note, I can't see them making everything HD as they'd have to them make massively large recorders, i taped a rugby match in HD the other day and it used something like 13% of my Sky+HD disk space

For consistent quality Eurosport is the best quality HD channel out there.

Storage space for big corporations is no problem. SKY are building massive storage farms with hundreds of thousands of server racks.

I like the tweak in lay out brought on by it going HD.

however I don't have HD and only have a small telly in my bedroom - thus now I only get half the blue bar on the right and a fraction of the red/yellow bar on the bottom

I was getting a little excited about soccer saturday, but then realised we're home on saturday so I'll have to wait longer for it. Be a little too sad to record that, wouldn't it?

 

[Kazenga <3]

The new layout means the text about upcoming fixtures etc. in the top right is too small

Will there be the midweek equilivant this week for League Cup and/or Champions League? I know it's not the same but should be the same layout etc.

Was in London on Thursday and saw Ronnie Wood outside an art gallery in Conduit St, having an 'oily'. Felt weak at the knees !!

Charlotte Jackson looks delectable
