Bert,
I agree that no matter what compression scheme is used, be it MPEG2, MPEG4,
or some great new invention yet to see the light of day. No matter what
scheme is used there will be a program director that will try to squeeze in
"just one more channel" and as a result bit starve them all.
We could make fantastic NTSC with 18 Mbps MPEG-2. We could make decent HD
with 18 Mbps MPEG-2 @ 720p59.94.
Instead, we do an HD and 3 SDs, and all four are bit starved pieces of
macroblocks.
I suppose you get used to it, but I have a hard time watching DBS for the
same reason - nonstop macroblocking at every dissolve and fast pan.

So you agree that Cliff's issues are with MPEG-2 compression?
