Any movie or TV show that was filmed on FILM (not video tape) is actually a higher resoloution than 1080p or 1080i
Secondly, a good 1080i broadcast with sufficient bandwith given will look much more detailed and 3D on a large 1080p panel than on a 720p panel simply due to much higher resolution.
I apparently got the update last night on my 622. I turned TV on and the picture was horrible. The convergence was way out of wack. Never had this problem before, so I am wondering if the output has changed in some shape or form... Very bizarre...
Is anyone else in the same boat?
My biggest question is whether 2.35:1 OAR movies will be shown on E*'s 1080p VOD system open matte or OAR??
If they go open matte I will be ordering exactly 0 of the 1080p movies.
Can you elaborate? Does this involve all programing material or just premium movies?..."bye bye HDD archiving" and eventually the end of your HD-DVR as we've come to know it.
But the TV producers don't want to have to pay to transfer legacy TV Movies that weren't even filmed in the correct aspect ratio. TV folks and broadcasters are CHEAP. The movie studios have much more compelling content with incredible special effects that make much more economic sense considering that the public values the movie watching experience more than TV shows and the studios are already transferring their library to Blu-ray for 1080p. It's not about the technology, my friend. It is about the economics.
Good question!
When D* comes up with its 1080p PPVs, the price will be similarly around $6.99. The 4-hour window will kill this thing. We have already stopped ordering HDPPVs since the 24-hour limit kicked in.
But for $2.99 discounted price I will order it once, with some good planning before hand.
Do you have new FW L6.10 ?
