ntl - you've missed the boat again

Re: Where Is HDTV From ntl.....when?
 

wht has that got to do with ntl hd

Re: Where Is Hdtv From Ntl.....when?
 

Yes. Just because things are filmed to a higher standard then what it is actually broadcast doesn't mean it is aching to be released. We've been recording to film since the year AD which can be considered to have much more pixels as a comparable resolution to 1920x1080.

The difference being DVB-S2 was designed for satellite and not cable.

:D EXCELLENT NEWS:D

on may 15th BBC HD is supposed to launch.Seeming as it is a bbc channel it should be on ntl!!
BBC will broadcast the world cup and then wimbledon in HD
But we still need the HD stb and ntl to start broadcasting HD. this will hopefully influence them

Re: Where Is HDTV From ntl.....when?
 

You honestly think Ntl give a stuff when broadcasters are staring their services? It'll be like every other Ntl service, they'll get it done when they feel like it and not before.

My advice mate - get yourself over to www.sky.com/hd if you're aching to get the world cup in HD - it's probably going to be the only real way. Either that or you could rent a house in a smellywest area for the duration of the games! I know which one is cheaper :disturbd: :)

Re: Where Is HDTV From ntl.....when?
 

oh sorry!

i thought that some people might actually want to know about this kind of thing judging that it is in the NTL HD thread:mad:

Re: Where Is HDTV From ntl.....when?
 

Put it this way, we wont be seeing this content on NTL.

Re: Where Is HDTV From ntl.....when?
 

well, its not like i think they will give the ntl users an HD box able to play back the raw BBC HD content any time soon, but it may end up being a box that is based on this reference design.

the 8450DVB HD onboard GFX engine doesnt look like its able to exelerate the current Liberate gfx
middleware anywere near needed for todays ntl market though, it might be considered good enough from NTL's POV just like the other older stbs before it.

Re: Where Is HDTV From ntl.....when?
 

And without an HD box, what will you watch it on?

If you are going to watch the Worlkd Cup/Wimbledon/24 etc it's going to be via Sky HD & not ntl.

Fact.

End of.

Re: Where Is HDTV From ntl.....when?
 

Not fact.

Freesat? After all the transmission is unencrypted, so you just need a box that can decode the h.264 DVB-S2 streams or whatever is used.

Re: Where Is HDTV From ntl.....when?
 

I think I will bide my time while all this HD stuff calms down. This goes for TV's, DVD Recorders (i.e. Blue-Ray or HDDVD?) and which company to go for HD Set Top boxes. Wake me up in 3 years time. zzzzzzzzz

Re: Where Is HDTV From ntl.....when?
 

Coldn't agree with you more, i am doing the same. It's not like i am unhappy with present quality now. VHS was always rubbish, nothing wrong with current TV pictures or the quality of current DVDs.

Re: Where Is HDTV From ntl.....when?
 

1) How accessible is that to the general public?

2) How much does it cost?

Re: Where Is HDTV From ntl.....when?
 

Very accesible, you just need a dish which is like a tenner on ebay or a sky dish if you already have one.

Then either a STB, atm I can find Humax HDCI2000 and Pace DS810XE both at £299 or a DVB-S2 PCI card such as the Technotrend S2-3200 HDTV-S2 for just under £90.

Re: Where Is HDTV From ntl.....when?
 

Have you all got hd tv's? You realise you need a nice expensive tv for this.
