Re: Sky to transmit all its own HD channels in 1080i
ehm..... your friend is clueless
some sample stream grabs from around europe give the following resolutions:
1920x1080 anixe.hd.ts
1920x1080 arte.hd.ts
1920x1080 astra.hd.ts
1920x1080 premiere.hd.ts
1920x1080 prosieben.hd.ts
1920x1080 sky.movies.9.hd.ts
1440x1080 bbc.hd.ts
1440x1080 euro1080.hd5.ts
1440x1080 hd.forum.tf1.hd.ts
1280x1088 luxe.hd.ts
1280x1080 luxe.hd.ateme.ts
we're talking DIGITAL satellite/cable here. the resolution is encoded into the video files which are sent around - what matters is the bitrate. Some carriers are pushing up to about 22 MBit, some as low as 6 (DVD, for comparison, is up to 10; freeview is up to 8)
