Is
it
just me or is the actual picture quality of OnDigital absolute
shite?
It
just
seems soft and squidgy - the only half-decent channels being the FTA
BBC1/BBC2...
...I
find it amusing when watching - say - Star Trek Next Gen on Sky One that
when you
get scene cuts that you still have shadowy "ghosts" of the actors
from the previous scenes still visible. Watching the "blockies"
on
some of the movie channels is quite scary and is reminicent of some of the
very
first MPEG encoding I did seven years ago at my last
company!
Is
this
the "better quality digital future" that I heard Chris Smith
banging
on about earlier this year ... it's scarey t think that it
is!

Didn't think you could do that
with
On Dogital It thought if you cancelled subscription then they t ok
the
box back?
I
own my
own box - I bought it for 199 when then were 'giving them away' at the
launch. In due course I got a cheque back for 199. Only
condition was (I think) that I had t subscribe for a minimum of 1
year.
A few weeks after that promotion they changed all the terms - they
obviously
realised that after a year if everyone stopped subscribing they'd have no
revenue,
and would have 'lost' thousands and thousands of expensive
boxes.
