Have to admit to being lost when it comes to hdtv.  Still watching my 1988 mitsubishi tv screen.  It is going and we will get hdtv.  I read explanatory post and admit to not understanding much.  While reading, was hoping that Aske would summarize and the last paragraph did it beautifully.

I think I read in the post that satelite hd signals are not of the best quality.  Did I understand that correctly?

yes. it is (at least for now) worst by far among OTA, Cable, FIOS, and Sat.

of course, many people only have Sat as an option.  Sad Disgusted

Aske, I'm off to meetings and don't have time to even read that let alone respond.  Quick thanks in advance though.  I'll ply you with questions later.   Wink

In my experience, rabbit ears don't work when placed on the TV set nor when pulled out of my pants. It's not for the lack of trying either.

Thanks Aske.  Post printed for further review.

Initial question:  Is there any way to find out to what level a SAT/CAB provider is degrading the signal on a HD channel-by-channel basis?  I'm stuck with one or the other.  I apparently live in a spot where it's impossible to get a good OTA signal.  Our whole neighborhood deals with the same problem.

i would check AVS (in general) but also specifically for info on cable in your area. http://www.avsforum.com/a...=&daysprune=&f=45
you can find OTA and cable info in this section.  OTA thread could be useful to at least find out which of your affiliates use multicasting subchannels.

SAT will be nationwide issues.  both D* and E* downres typically from 1920x1080 to at most 1440x1080, sometimes even 12__x1080   (of course not applicable to 720p signals).  Both also typically bitstarve to between 10-14 mpbs.  D* of course just rolled out mpeg4 local channels which users report as a big improvement, even at the low bitrates the better codec vastly reduces artifacting.     Cable systems will in (2-3 years) be unveiling switched digital video technology which will ease their bandwidth issues completely.  Right now cable can only treat the bandwidth issue by switching current analog channels to digital... as they do so they gain capacity for more HD.  one HD channel takes less bandwidth than an analog SD channel IIRC. lol.   don't just buy in to a lot of satellite users reports on 'my picture is great!' .   if they have never seen OTA or FIOS or cable HDTV  , or they weren't an early adopter on D*/E*, they have only seen their hd-lite and don't know better ... heheheheh
