High definition TV uses five times as many pixels as standard

In other (people's) words, an extra 25%...

Surely 5x as many is an extra 400%?

FWIW 1440x1080 / 720x576 = 3.75x

Or 275% extra.

I look forward to being corrected!

You must have missed the "Is HDTV a big con like widescreen?" thread.
Lucky you.

Shouldn't that be (1920 x 1080) / (720 x 576) = 5x

Or 275% extra.

No, 400% extra.

I look forward to being corrected!

My pleasure.

Someone was trying to claim that (1920 x 1080) / (720 x 576) = 1.25;
they probably went to one of the modern Labour skools.

. A friend just purchased
a
matching pair of Panasonic DVD recorders with built-in Freeview. He
will
not
be able to use these to timeshift, record or otherwise view the new
HD
programmes. He will have to purchase yet another set top box or disc
recorder instead. As he is on jobseeker's allowance it is money he
can
ill-afford to spend and at his age (60) it is unlikely he will ever
be
offered full time employment again.
Easier said than done. As soon as he mentions his age no employer wants
to know. Also if he leaves his present employment voluntarily he will
lose his jobseekers allowance and have nothing left to live on. There are
currently one million people between the ages of 55 and 65 in the same
position as he is.

(kim)

So the guy was on jobseekers allowance and spent who knows how much on a
matching pair of DVD recorders and we are supposed to have sympathy for
him? There are loads of us in similar position and we just get on with it
and take whatever work we can get.

As does he despite being a highly skilled printer. He doesn't drink, smoke
or shag women so TV is his only pleasure.

Then he should go out on the pull and stop being so insular.

Yes, I got what he meant on both posts. I just didn't understand why someone I
don't know was trying to be nasty for no apparent reason. Perhaps he has
issues from his childhood that he's trying to expunge in later life?

Well, if you think insults=humour then I'm glad I don't find it funny.

What a nasty little individual you are.
