The Sharks/Ducks game looked absolutely perfect on my set. I didn't see any of the artifacts at any time.

Another reasoning for the difference between NBCHD and ABCHD is NBC broadcasts in 1080i and is being down converted by Bell to 720p (loss of quality by doing this). ABCHD is broadcast in 720p, so no additional conversion exists.
Apperantly DirectTV's channels that are not MPEG4 look likes Bell's terrible channels, sometimes even worse I hear. I think once Bell makes the switch to MPEG4 we should be good. I dont understand why Bell didnt do the MPEG4 switch before the 8PSK, any wild guesses to when they will make the MPEG4 switch?? Do you think they will do it before Nimiq 5?
+1 Jumpy.
Hopefully soon enough they will put the american east superstations on 8PSK.
have they increased the bitrate of any of the channels they converted to 8PSK?
I guess you have confirmed my thoughts...that although there was a firestorm of activity on these boards as the conversion was happening...(with all the speculation)...since the conversion has finished...Bell has really done nothing to enhance our viewing pleasure.
And we had such high hopes...
the 8psk is a form of compression and in no way would it improve PQ. the only thing that will improve PQ quality would be a switch to MEPEG 4 or bell goes back to 1080p for all HD channels.
There appear to be four test HD channels on TP05, but nothing us regular people can view.
