View Full Version : Squeezer's Techtv screencap showing MASSIVE OVERCOMPRESSION

These have to be the worst overcompression artifacts in history.
They make my Vince Carter compression artifact ridden screencap look good by comparison. This Squeezer guy also seems to have better capture equipment than me as you can see from his pic.
Squeezer's original jpg attachment on alt.dbs.echostar didn't show up on some newsreaders, and some people started this big flame war in that thread over if it was ok or not to post binaries in these newsgroups, so let's get back to the subject which was massive overcompression.
I uploaded Squeezer's attachment to make it into a linkable jpeg(I hope you don't mind me using your pic Squeezer).
It shows massive overcompression problems(even worse than the basketball screencap I made).
Here it is.

BTW, Squeezer did all the hard work making this screencap, so he deserves all the credit, I just uploaded his attachment.

From Squeezer on the same newsgroup:
"For the binary supporters:
Thanks for your support and input.

For the complainers:
It was just a one shot deal. Just thought I might inject a little
humor. Hopefully, DishNet will never actually get that bad but who
knows?"

It was a joke, a manufactured picture!

That Jack believed the screencap was real just goes to show how bad the E* bashing has become. Some people at both forums just can't say enough bad things about E* or Ergen.

Yes, the PQ isn't what it was, but it will get better after this must carry fiasco gets sorted out.

No offence, but any ideiot can tell that was doctored, most graphic editing s/w allows you to do Mosaic effects.

Jack was just kidding us?

Squeezer was the joker, Jack was the medium.

I'm waiting for the PQ to drop to the point it's just one big pixel.;)
