Hi, our 29" 100hz tv died before christmas and so we purchased a Pana 42" Plasma at boxing days sales for 699 (not full hd). Have an existing Ultraplus 680 sat receiver connected via component. Don't yet have a UHF aerial for inbuilt Freeview Terrestrial.
The sat picture on the new tv at times is quite poor in busy or fast moving scenes, and particularly when changing to a new program/ad/promo/scene when it "transitions" from pixellated/blocky to reasonably crisp over a second or so. Found some posts from 2009 which seem to talk about this when tvnz added regional tv1's. Mostly watch tv1-3 and kidzone (tv6)
- is this still a problem with the satellite signal?
- is terrestrial sd significantly better quality than satellite sd? (i'd previously assumed they were similar)
- are there any published average bitrates for all the fv channels? some posts linked to http://www.satcodx5.com which don't appear to work anymore. I don't recall having any options to display bit rates on the Ultraplus.
- also saw a mention of sky fta for tv1 & 2. Is that still current & better or worse quality than fv sat versions? any difference in quality between sat regional tv1's?
