Has anybody checked the bitrate on TBS HD? It looked really nice last night or it might just be my new 722 that got installed last night.

 

[Smith P.]

BTW, the channel have mapdown:

TBS , 542, A4, 406, 6, 129.0W, FA,139

At 61.5W we see six H.264 HD channels sharing 40 Mbps, TBS HD reach peak 8.15 Mbps this time:

Thank you sir.

 

[Smith P.]

Randall, check your PM and look how good is HDPPV - it reach 9.2 Mbps now.

If we can get bitrate information on E* channels, why can't we get this info on the new D* MPEG4?

Patience, grasshopper.

Actually, if you have decent PC and can budget $300 ( $100 for TSReader and $200 for DVB-S2 PCI card like TT S2-3200 ) you will be the hero !

 

[Smith P.]

BTW, all H.264 HD channels suffer from pixel reduction from 1920x1080 ( OAR 19:6) to 1440x1080 (AR 4:3); not sure how good they encoder/receivers handle the 'anamorphic' transformations to/from.

 

[ehren]

Charlie how about 4 channels at 10mbps per TP. Like Directv? oh and 1920x1080 like it is SUPPOST TO BE!!!!!!

 

[bowens]

I got home Friday night and found TBS HD waiting on me. This is great. The playoff games look excellent. Maybe it's just because I have a small TV (26") but the SD content didn't look bad either. It looked a lot better than TBS SD.

 

[Parakiller]

so any news about the scifi channel yet?

 

[Poke]

so any news about the scifi channel yet?

Yeah I think there could be a chance we see it sometime soon.

 

[long_time_DNC]

That'd be nice.

 

[kg4ozx]

Alright, Poke... Spill it

 

[tsduke]

Alright, Poke... Spill it

I don't think he has anything to spill. You see, it's all in how you define SOON. What we all think of as soon is the same as E* considers soon.

 

[kg4ozx]

I was afraid of that...

 

[JohnH]

Looks like they are considering HD mapdown/mapup for the HD RSNs. 380 FOXD got a HD Mapup to 430 last night.

 

[BFG]

This is not the same as re pointing the hd channel to the sd channel when there's no HD is it?

that's what I'm hoping for make's things easier that you only need to check 1 channel

I agree. Mapping down wouldn't be as usefull with the HD RSN's only showing games.
