Re: 100?
Ah - the "HD-Lite" naysayers....
You can't prove they're HD-Lite.
And I can't prove they're not.
Nobody has yet been able to "break the stream" to find out what exactly the resolution and bitrates are. Certainly, it's only a matter of time before there is proof one way or the other. The semi-official position is that the networks are 1920x1080 and locals are 1440x1080. Based on side-by-side comparisons of a cable provider and D* - they look the same.
As for "stretch-o-vision" - that's not DirecTV's fault. They're a re-broadcaster - passing on the content as it is provided to them. The guilty parties are the specific channels/network providers themselves - nothing D* can do about that. |

1 edit | Actually there is hardware and software than can view the bitrate and resolution etc, of both DirecTV and DISH and the findings are posted on many reliable forums, DirecTV uses 1280 X 1080i on most of it's channels DISH is using 1440 X 1080i on most of it's HD Channels, bitrate various constantly based on many factors. You need to check your facts before you make posts about things you obviously know nothing about.

1 edit | Please feel free to supply any link to "the facts" showing where someone has measured bitrate and resolution of D*'s MPEG4 HD channel(s) off the D10 satellite (i.e. the "new national HD channels). |

Show links with CURRENT information. And yell at each station. The stations is who decides what gets stretch or not. Some channels have done it right ( SciFi HD), others suck. Even others sometimes suck and sometimes are okay. |

The bitrate of Directv's new MPEG4 broadcast has not yet been determined, not with hardware or software as David803 some how belives. There a strong rumors that it is in fact 1920x1080 as Directv is in court being sued for false advertizing on thier past bitrates with MPEG2 incoding |

Careful - you might be making quote:
