Probably going over old ground but just watching Vienna new year concert and comparing HD quality between BBC feed and ZDF ( both channels using a kathrein sat box) and zdf wins hands down in video quality

What does that have to do with Freesat recorders though? This really belongs in Broadcasting doesn't it?

I didn't think the BBC was up to it's usual standards either. Can't comment on ZDF as I don't have the needed sat kit lol

Don't forget that the BBC uses 1080i and ZDF (and most German channels) use 720p - this can result in a difference in fine detail especially with fast moving images within a frame.

Except you can't see the fine detail if it's fast moving

Presumably the difference is down to the excessive compression used by the BBC?, having crippled the satellite broadcasts down to terrestrial 'quality'.
