You know Comcast recompresses, right? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of James Maki Sent: Wednesday, April 08, 2009 1:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [H] HDTV Math
I discovered something this week and am trying to understand its ramifications. I noticed lots of pixelation and motion blur the last two weeks of Heroes. NBC broadcasts at 1080i for HDTV. I checked the statistics for the show I recorded via HD Homerun tuners using Comcast cable, and NBC is averaging about 4.8 GB per hour for a 1080i show. I thought is a bit low but was even more surprised when I checked out shows on the other broadcast networks.
