Thanks for the details. Thanks, bjf

Thanks. At last they don't push up the image from the bottom like FSC does. Still I wish that practice would be banned forever. Best, bjf

Julesism, When you saw that EPL match in HD on The Score HD. You mentioned it had a bar at the bottom with scores. Could you tell me a bit more. Is it just covering the picture at the bottom or are they pushing the video up from the bottom and slightly squishing the picture. FSC does...

Hi, If I have a SC 505 or 530 and have a standard 4x3 tv set can I view the HD channels in letterbox via the S video connection? Or will they only output HD in a squeezed anamorphic image on a 4x3 tv? bjf

So on Starchoice all 1080i sources get resent out to viewers as 1080i. Only the Fox and ABC get reconverted 720P to 1080i. Are many of the channels Bell has native in 720P or most start out as 1080i get converted to 720P and then are also bit starved and more compressed. And worse since...

Thanks for the followup. I get Setanta and every week there seems to be a match that they screw up the picture on. They are taking a 16x9 feed and squeezing it to fit 4x3. But it's a bit odd like they are doing some additional messing with the image. I've emailed them but they always...

Thanks for the info. Is the elevation of the Bell sat. 82? Is the EPL HD version the same camera's that are used in the SD version on Setanta or FSC in the states? Just hd quality. Or do they have a different complete HD production. Thanks, bjf

Hi, Regarding the native HD 720p/1080i. So SC only has the two CBC channels that are native 1080i. All others on SC are reconverted from native 720P. Is this correct? I've read the forum here and someone said that as of last fall Bell is really overcompressing the HD. So is there...

Is it possible to find out which channels can't be received with Bell in Oregon and Northern California, Southern Idaho. I'd hate to go Bell and then find out the sd & hd channels I want can't be received. Thanks, bjf

Hi, Can anyone answer a couple questions about "The Score HD" channel on Bell. Are you able to get this channel anywhere there's a strong signal in the states? And regarding the English Premiere League match of the week. How is the HD picture quality? Does it have any pixelation or...

Can anyone help me out with some information about HD MPEG4 and how SC and Bell are currently sending out their signals. Have either begun to only offer HD channels via MPEG4 like Directv has in the the states? I see where the DISH 211 box is MPEG4 ready but I can't find any info. if...

I was wondering if anyone might get the Musimax channel. Sound & video quality of sat. vrs. cable? If you do can you email me back. Thanks, bjf bigjazzfan1@aol.com

Thanks for the info. bjf

Thanks for the info. Yes, I was asking about the 6000. I read some old posts and it has a always on fan. A lot of users were tired of the noise. I don't see the SC 505 having a fan. Does it run a lot cooler. I was going to have it inside a tv cabinet with glass door on it's own shelf. There...

Kryspy, I'm out west. But my HD off air is lacking. PBS is the best but no 5.1. And none have any plans for 5.1. They don't want to spend the money to upgrade. Regarding the "sim sub". I read about this and would shows like Good Morning America, The Today Show, The Tonight Show...

Hi, I have a HD receiver to DVD stand alone recorder question. Regarding recording a HD signal to a SD dvd recorder. Some DVR models for HD will send out via the Svideo jack a sqeezed anamorphic signal which some dvd recorders can record and you get better picture on the DVD when you...

Thanks for all the replies. Could any of you elaborate on the HD USA networks from both SC and Bell. I've read here that some are converting the 720P to 1080i and vice verse. And some HD channels might be getting a lowered bandwidth affecting picture quality. Is there a list / website...

I'm interested in how SC and Bell compare now on picture quality for both SD and HD. I'd read that SC was the best on both as they put fewer channels per transponder. But now I'm confused. I've read that Bell is now better at least for HD. Would appreciate any input on which is...
