Re: General Sky TV Discussion

Does anyone else find that downloading episodes from AT+ takes less space than recoeding the show or am I just imaging it?

Could it be down to the compression method ?

I've got to say I was surprised how little space the Anytime+ content was taking up. Although I've also noticed that the Anytime+ content is better quality than the broadcast material so I'm unsure why it takes up so little space.

Better encoding. Broadcast TV has to be encoded in real time, which limits how well it can be encoded. For VOD the encoder can do multiple passes to improve the compression and/or quality.

When I'm back home again I might try and find something I recorded in AT+ and download it to compare.

How do I report faults with AT+ content? S3ep2 of Sopranoes is corrupt.

Sky help forum , I had one on Blue Bloods last month , they investigated and fixed it.

This along with the Sky Movies app, Sky News app, Sky Atlantic, Sky Sports 3&4HD and Sky F1 HD are the main reasons i'm looking to move across to Sky.

You really can't fault them when it comes to content. :)

You take HD for granted , just watching ESPNA at parents on TIVO the PQ makes me glad ive got the channel in HD with Sky.

ESPNA is perfectly fine on my TiVo box so to be perfectly honest l suspect there is not much difference between that and ESPNA HD on Sky.:)

Trust me there is a big difference ;) the SD isn't that bad , I've seen worse but it certainly doesn't come close to the channel in HD.
