Re: QUALITY Not even close, sir. Thanks for trolling.
I'd like for you to point out where "isn't" or "ESPN" was anywere in my statement.
Fios is the only provider left with channels in MPEG2 approaching 18 mbps. Comcast has a few down in the 12's, 1080i no less. DirecTV and Dish moved to MPEG4 to alleviate a bit of the quality loss at running a dismal bitrate. While MPEG4 lets the foreground take precidence, the 16-bit color blocked background is attrocious on larger quality displays. Quality has been sacrificed for quantity. I'd rather quality. |

| 1st of All FIOS passes on what it receives. If it's not receiving 18meg it can't pass 18 meg.
2nd why would they pass 18mbps when 19.4mbps for 1080i.
Not all broadcasters transmit 19.4 mmbps or even close to.
The next time you bring a feeble attempt to call someone a troll have the numbers right. |

1 edit | Hrm,
I beg to differ, ESPN pushes greater than 18Mbps almost all day long.
I just checked our statmux this morning and they're running at 18.793Mbps along with ESPN2 and ESPN NEWS.
EDIT:
I watched two commmercial breaks and they did drop down to 12Mbps then, but during regular programming they're at 18Mbps consistently. |

Yes, FIOS pushes what it receives, remember when cable used to do that? If you allocate a 19.4 mbps pipe to a feed, roughly 18 is used for video. The numbers were correct, I did check, then called out the troll. Feeble is incorrect as are your numbers. |
