Re: Size does not matter..

Lets see it compared to over the air which isn't compressed. In addition, all of these sat and cable providers change the compression and bit stream rate for their channels. So one channel that may look great one day may not look so good the next, but then look good the following.

They're all compressed - uncompressed 1080i at around 29.97 frames per second is around 1.45 Gigabits per second - it never gets transmitted that way!

DTV channels are allocated around 19 Megabits per second. DTV stations usually look better than satellite or cable because they generally have more bandwidth.

Direct and Dish compress HD to around 6 Mbits with Dish generally looking a little better.

Cable is all over the place and looks good or bad depending on what they've done to the signal.
