Jarno: Apparently the feed from Beijing to TVNZ is 1080i. TVNZ will then downscale that to 720p for broadcast on TV1, SD for Sport Extra, and whatever resolutions they're going to use for the online streams.
Damn, so that means that the opening ceremony is going to be in 720p???

cyril7: Get a grip people, by the time a 1920x1080 capture has been through a serious mpeg reduction to make it fit into a 10Mb/s mpeg4 stream there is such an amount of prefiltering involved that no one can tell the difference between a 720 or 1080, reality folks, just get a grip.

Newbie question... is it better to buy a tv with 1920x1080 so branded as 1080 or stick with something that is not badged with 1080i because I sense alot of what may be tx to the tv will be lower res 720??

There is more than must pure resolution that makes a display good. Obviously if you are buying at a certain price point its going to be full 1920x1080. However I currently see some of the best pictures coming off panny 8/80series which are only 1024x768. As I said before what real life resolution gets to your panel after mpeg coding and what your eye can resolve on a 42 or 50" display are not always as the retailers would like to make you spend up to.

ajst2duk: Hey just wanted to say - what an awesome show.
My feedback to TVNZ would be - freshen up your presentation team, the dinosaurs look even more ancient in HD!
ajst2duk:Also - some messages flicking up on Sports Extra noting what TVI is showing live would be cool, enjoyed being able to watch the cycle races uninterrupted but it looked so much better in HD, so we were constantly flicking back to see whether TV1 was covering it live..... eventually they did.
Really cool use of the new technology all the hiccups aside... I can see many more hours in front of the box ahead of us the next few weeks.
