Before even the Fox HD splicers I seem to remember NBC announcing they were going to be making a pre-compressed HD stream of their prime time programming available to their affiliates. But I don't know if anything ever became of this. It was quite a while ago.

For a long while I had thought the networks sent out their stuff already packaged up in MPEG-2 packets eady to transmit. I'm told only Fox does this. ABC, CBS and NBC send out uncompressed digital video and audio, itseems; and, as John Wilkie's e-mail suggests, invidual broadcasters handlecompression into MPEG-2 packets for broadcast. Al LimbergClose.Fox does compress their programming to emission level for distribution to affiliates. They also have equipment in stations that allow these feeds to be routed directly to the transmitter without re-compression. The other networks send out contribution quality feeds compressed to roughly 45 Mbps. At some times they may reduce this to get more than one program feed through the 45 Mbps links.Regards Craig ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways:- Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
