Stanley Cup Finals on VersusHD   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #63211 of 68204 |
I assume nothing is being done about the over-compression of VersusHD
this year (if ever). So only 2 more horrendous quality NHL games to
watch this season, the rest are on NBC. I'll start complaining again
in October. Any good class-action lawyers in the group?

I cant vouch for #3 on your list, but I concur with 1,2 and 4 on the Bergen system. I'm due for a service call as I haven't been able to get some of the Voom...

ESPN takes a feed direct from Versus, likely at 45Mbit (remote production grade transmission for HD) then send it out over their full bandwidth cable channel,...

CV compresses it down to 9Mbs sends it out to us over shared bandwidth with 3 other channels which is why it looks so bad. And they haven't acknowledged what...

I'm really surprised we haven't heard anything else on this issue, particularly since Wilt did mention it earlier (that they "found something")... Perhaps now...

Guilty as charged. I keep bring it up because it is never addressed. My fear is that the move of Voom to SDV and the elimination of more analog channels will...
