Has anyone else noticed of late that the HD sports broadcasts have dropped off in quality significantly? Broadcasts of HD events were superb when the service first started but now appear to be lower and lower quality, pixelated backgrounds and generally not a lot better than standard definition. For example watching the AB's last weekend on Sky Sport One in so called High Def was virtually indistinguishable from Standards Def on the Rugby Chanel
Can't say I've noticed but then I haven't used a Sky box in a while as I never liked whatever codec they use in it. The HTPC always has given a nicer cleaner image anyway.
Seems strange if Sport 1 is effected though as I thought that transponder was still pretty free.
Ever thought you might be getting used to the HD? Although some of the shots from the test looked abit crap, especially the box shot of henry and hansen, it was very grainy.
Well a while back Sky were playing Lord of the Rings and classed them as HD movies Yet the qual of it looked pretty much the same me putting a LOTR DVD in my PS3 and upscale it to 1080p Some of the more recent movies like James Bond which are on Blu-Ray you can see a better picture
I'm watching the Taranaki vs Waikato game (advertised as being HD) The qual does look the same as running a standard sky box using S-Video or Component
