Sorry if you don't read our blog much, it's pretty standard.]]>Jun 5th 2009 10:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/
What the heck did that bozo do but turn the FCC into a sycophant for the cable industry. They set this country back a decade in terms of digital progress. Let along massive budget deficits.

We are so sick of Bush worship like yours, and the losers who are licking Limbaugh's feet because their party is completely bankrupt they can't even find one single decent leader.]]>Jun 8th 2009 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/Jun 6th 2009 12:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/Jun 6th 2009 1:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/Jun 6th 2009 3:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/Jun 6th 2009 3:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/Jun 6th 2009 4:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/
Most OTA HD stations use MPEG2 compression at around 10-15Mbps (the max is 20Mbps, but there's usually an SD channel sharing the bandwidth) By comparison. HD DVD and Blu-ray use the much better H.264 or VC-1 at around 20-30Mbps (BD can go higher but almost never does, it only has higher rates because originally it was intended to use MPEG2 too)

It's also a bit of a crapshoot when determining who, in practice, has higher quality video, as while recompression obviously adds artifacts, my experience is that pure OTA is more susceptible to reception issues than cable or satellite. Yes, it's annoying watching an area that's supposed to be black but has slightly different shaded dark blocks instead, but that's nothing to having the audio cut out and part of the screen turn into a Sinclair ZX Spectrum.]]>Jun 6th 2009 9:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/Jun 6th 2009 4:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/Jun 6th 2009 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/Jun 6th 2009 7:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/Jun 6th 2009 9:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/
Anyone dumb enough to not be ready is either old or retarded. The old people should just die and stop taking up space and the retards will probably just sit and be entertained by the static.]]>Jun 6th 2009 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/Jun 6th 2009 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/Jun 6th 2009 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/Jun 6th 2009 6:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/Jun 7th 2009 2:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/Jun 6th 2009 7:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/Jun 6th 2009 11:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/Jun 7th 2009 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/Jun 7th 2009 11:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/05/with-a-week-to-go-obama-urges-the-remaining-few-to-make-dtv-pre/
