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.
