It must be it's still down, but 75 is working fine.

245 is up and running now. Stuart what do you mean it was already MPEG4? It was always MPEG 2 before today...

 

[Grydlok]

TNT on any sat still look like TNT.

 

[betterdan]

Well of course it looks like TNT, that is very observant of you :grin:

Thats what I thought also

 

[Stuart Sweet]

Sorry, it was 3 in the morning, I got confused.

 

[Bofurley]

245 certainly looks better than it did as MPEG2

We can not judge TNT until we see true HD programming like Nascar and NBA. Golf looked like Stretched SD to me

 

[wilbur_the_goose]

The golf WAS stretched 540i (PAL) BBC-TV coverage. Definitely not HD.

Yeah, it looked weird; I thought it was PAL. It wasn't as bad a PAL conversion as the NFL game in London last year. Neon green grass!

NFL game last year was HD...

I'll see if I can dig up an article about Fox's coverage

You'll have to forgive me. I'll readily admit to understanding neithor MPEG4 nor brain surgery. But,. is there any reason why (my wife) and I think the picture is better on 75 ? (We're just now watching an old L&O) .... Commence laughter.
Thanks

It was PAL upconverted to HD. I saw the footage; it was weird to say the least.

What was wrong with TNT during the Closer tonight? There were a bunch of static/glitches at the start of the show. Then the stream broke up completely for about 10 seconds. It appears to be an MPEG 4 issue, my HD-Tivo recorded the MPEG 2 stream without glitches.
