Three more VOOMs in MPEG-4 today. Room for three new HD channels again.

 

[Cyclone]

I guess those encoders are installed and ready.

Bring it on Charlie!!!!

Enjoy the obscene bit rates for MPEG4.... 9477 - WSPOR is getting a whopping 17mbps. Would that be 34mbps in MPEG2 talk?

LOL

Is that because there is still room for 3 more mpeg4HD channels on that TP?

In all seriousness, I always noticed poor quality when watching Spanish soccer and didn't know if it was a Dish issue, i.e. lack of bandwidth for that channel vs too much "action", or simply the quality of the original source video. Any ideas (anyone) ?? It was about all I watched on that channel so I can't compare to other events....

Which 3 Voom's went MPEG4 today?

look at the uplink report thread that's a sticky

Well more channels they get on MPEG4 the better and easier it should be when the new MPEG4 Sats get going which should improve things as well.

Click the link right above where I said 3 Vooms converted.

Looks like they have started the VOOM MPEG4 conversion with the least watched channels.

Part of it is that European HD is run at 50hz instead of 60hz and needs to be converted. This results in a slight ghosting effect. It is not the sole cause of the poor quality. Don't forget La Liga starts this weekend.

No, they are systematically going by each VOOM TP.

50 vs 60 is the last thing what you should worried. Digital cameras make time stamps ( packets) and does sync by them.
Or you telling us European HD is ANALOG ?!

Ultra HD kicks butt!!! Some of those clothes they wear, better than Skinamax!!!

Thanks guys. Wonder what Rave will look like when it gets converted?

 

[abricko]

Like most other MPEG4 channels... overall softer and the colors will patch together into a slight fingerpainted look...

I'm happy to have more channels though and so look forward to History HD, with that, Discovery and Science HD... that's all that's on my dish anymore.

Thanks guys. Wonder what Rave will look like when it gets converted?

 

[BFG]

Dish should just remove 9428 PPVHD and put historyhd there. You'd think fox would want their channels together, not with the discovery suite
