Sat Guys does not host the formats you want or allow such large files. I can put up some originals in png and bmp format on my server. These will be in full 1920x1088 resolution. I will sync up of the two .ts stream files I have and do some screen captures and toss them up there.
EDITED TO SAY:
The images on my homepage were downsized to work with the webpage. They still show a good comparison for reference. My 32" AQUOS was top of the line when bought. I don't buy new tv's every year. It is fine for me currently.

I took the two .ts files I have and did some screen caps in full resolution. The BMP files are uncompressed and quite big, so depending on your ISP they could take a bit to load. The PNG files are smaller but are still good for comparison, the bitmaps are the best though. Don't ask me anything else how I got these .ts done. It may get the person who did it get in a world of crap if the higher ups found out about this. Look at the bug in the corner and the pattern on the tile, you will also see a softness to the E* images not on c band.

Mmmm....tasty bandwidth. Thanks for the ful rez versions. As I fully expected, the master feed looks notably sharper, but with it you do actually see more artifacts in it. The softening E* doing seems to mute a lot of the artifacts, but I'd still much prefer sharper image. I was happy to see that the color and brightness between the two was pretty much exactly the same.
I like the sharpness too, a soft image to me looks blurry. All digital except a very high backhaul steam has some artifacts. With the Nick PowerVu master they are compressing 6 to 1 in 36 mhz of bandwidth, that's a bit high for my liking. It just happens that my friend had access to this encypted mux and E* so he did me a favor to record these streams. If would be interesting to do this comparison again after E* adds more channels to there muxes.
I don't know. The commercials on Syfy still look good but NBATV looks like crap.
Yo tvropro....I assume you have already heard that C-band is dying -- but just in case: http://www.satelliteguys.us/2098050-post363.html
and I guess you didnt see the FRONT PAGE link we have here that its a bunch of bull honkey

I guess you didnt read posts after that (especially mine) that shows NPS is full of crap.

I rarely ever look at the front page. :neener
At the time I grabbed the link to that post (and it took me awhile to post it because I had to reset my password), it was the LAST post in that thread!! Geez, WTF is your problem?
I also have ota hi d and i would say it is pretty much of a tossup however the sd ota is much better the sat. has. I also see a day to day difference with the sat.
Then why did you call me out for not reading the rest of the posts in a thread when -- at the time I posted it -- there were no more posts in that thread! Sorry I couldn't see the future (and your post you made hours later).
You sure seemed to have a chip on your shoulder when you replied. Maybe you should consider laying off the roids...
yep that hour later (not hours) when I made the post. Hey it showed up as one of the newest posts when I logged inThen why did you call me out for not reading the rest of the posts in a thread when -- at the time I posted it -- there were no more posts in that thread! Sorry I couldn't see the future (and your post you made hours later).
so did you. I dont have any chip on my shoulder. I was just pointing out that the post you linked to has incorrect info
Maybe you should consider laying off the roids...
flaming a mod isn't the brightest move. I'll leave it at that
Iceburg,
What you didn't see the smilely? I didn't realize you were a mod. I wouldn't expect a mod to blast someone for posts that were not there at the time he posted, and then wonder why the blastee got upset -- all the while refusing to really admit his mistake.
And for the record it was at least an hour and a half (if not more) from the time I grabbed that post until when you blasted me. Ban me if you must...

in a lot of markets it does. I have access to both and my SD CW feed from C-Band looks better than the crap that SINclair is putting out HD wise in Minneapolis
It depends on the size of your display. I have a home theater with a 104" projection screen. So far most channels look quite good to me, though there is a lot of variation between channels. I think that is more to do with the source than with Dish.
