RE: Digital Picture Quality

["Ian Lowe" <ian@xxxxxxx>]

Ahhh the old complaint... "not enough bandwidth"

Keith has posted about this in some detail before, but basically,
whilst
digital has the *ability* to deliver a significantly better image for
most
people, the only thing it really improves is errors of a radio nature
(ghosting, reflections etc etc)

Unfortunately, there is simply not enough bandwidth to cram in the number
of
channels they are trying to at the moment, and the way to do this is to
use
higher compression ratios.

It's a shame that packages are always positioned on price rather than
quality.. I don't care a whole lot if the base package is ?15 a month
or
?17, but I'd happily pay a premium for a higher bandwidth, advert free
version of (for instance) E4 or Sky One.

Ian.

Why is the picture quality so crap on digital, all pixels and stuff.
Switch to terrestrial and its fine, so much for a digital revolution.

PS SWMBO has insisted on watching the popstars crap not me, but it is
