picture quality

[Paulo]

Guys, take a look at my post above.... #142, I tell it like it is! Now having said that, yesterdays PQ on BEV was fantastic, pretty much on all HD channels, even the Vancouver hockey game last night on CBC HD CH #802 was very good.

Like I have said before and others have mentioned , it is hit or miss with Bell.

The Canucks game on CBC HD was decent, I wouldn't say the quality was very good, but decent. I still was able to see motion artifacts in the picture, more of a CBC issue I think then it is a Bell issue because they were easily visible on the SD tv in the house too. Now the Ducks game on TSN HD blew away the quality of the Canucks game on CBC. I didn't notice any artifacts or anything in the TSN broadcast and the picture quality I would say was very good on that broadcast. During intermissions, while watching other shows, the HD quality was the usual. Very soft on the American networks and Idol on CTV HD West was very soft as well. Again as others have said before, for CBC, I think the downconvert to 720p plays into the loss in detail. I can remember watching HNIC and seeing everything so detailed that it was way better then TSN, not anymore.

Its definitely from their end, I see it all the time on both of my receivers (9242 & 6141). Right now I'm being patient with the hope things improve. If nothing changes after they finished the upgrades I'm going to start spamming them with phone calls.

I'm surprised that I'm going to say this, but last night I was at my brother's place and he has Sasktel max HD, and the picture quality on that was way better and sharper then Bell. Bell really needs to step it up. I'd switch if they offered Centre Ice. Plus they have more HD channels then Bell (Big Ten, CNN, and Speed.)

I more so see it on NHL games, can't remember seeing it on CFL games and only on TSNHD. But never see this "jumpy" scorebar when set to 1080i, so I only use 1080i. I remember when Bell had channels in 1080i and at the time I had one of those 768p tv's and there was a big difference between 1080i and 720p. I wonder what it would be like on the 1080p set I have now???
