Freesat V Freeview Bit Rates
Hi
Does anybody known where I can find bit rates for each channel being boradcast on both platforms. I know that ITV1 has a higher bit rate on Freeview than Freesat but what about the other channels? I recorded something on More 4 the other night on both platforms and I thought the Freesat recording looked better? Is there a list? Re Dave |

Re Dave There is no definitive list as some broadcasters don't always use the same bit rate. ITV for instance shares it out between it's regions but does not always use the same share forv each region |

...channels can also be 'stat-muxed' so that the bit rate varies between channels depending on the complexity of the picture (simplified description). That means you need to consider the 'average' of the stat muxed channels but also the other channels in the multiplex.
The current message seems to be "ITV looks worse on Freesat than Freeview at the moment". |

Re Dave Maybe you can list a comparison summary here, after looking at the tables..? |

On the subject of quality, I took a look at Luxe.TV HD channel today (Non freesat mode).
Absolutely sublime. Matches Blu Ray in many frames. BBC / ITV could learn a lot from them. |

And it uses a lower bit rate than ITV HD and much less than BBC HD.

Are you sure about this as my box always displays 576i which is 720 x 576 isn't it?
576i can be 544 x 576, 704 x 576 and 720 x 576. |
