Noticed very good PQ on 689 last night.
But I will be an unhappy camper if Verizon doesn't deliver the PAC-12 network by mid-September for the first USC football game scheduled. |

H.264 was also known as AVC. H.xxx is the ITU-T name and AVC, HEVC, etc. is the MPEG name. It's just like IEEE 1394\Firewire\iLink |

I've already seen so much of the content in SD that it naturally looks so much better with the details. I think many of us are seeing that effect. It's not really better than other channels but appears so after watching it in SD for so long. |

| reply to robertf390_t
Well they usually show movies in OAR, which is fantastic, except they stuff in 55 commercials, which is dreadful! |

Your theory is good but doesn't hold water in my case. I haven't watched anything on BBC America in years. I just tuned to 689 and was immediately impressed by the way the detail and colors really "popped" off the screen. None of the surrounding HD channels had quite the same effect. |

| reply to danclan
Actually it is, dancian. It is broadcast at 1080i. a lot of HD channels are 720, and few others are 1080i. |
|
| reply to johnf2
I was referring to that it was 1080i, compared to 720, as a HD channel. 1080 being a better picture quality picture than 720, and 1080. As icemannyr1 correctly thought.
But also, it is def a better quality between SD and HD. As johnf2 said. |

Midlothian, VA | you would be hard pressed to see any difference between 1080i and 720p. And for any action movie or sports 720p is a better format due to a variety of reasons.
So rage on about how 1080i is "better" but if you are happy then enjoy as it's new HD content and that always a good thing regardless how they broadcast it. |
