Picture quality on Oz and James
 

I've been watching Oz Clarke and James May's wine programme, and
throughout the series I've been distracted by an issue with the picture
quality. The colour is missing from edges so that, to take one example,
a brown telegraph pole against a blue sky had a bloody great white line
all around the edge of it like the Ready Brek adverts. This is the sort
of thing you expect on poor quality analogue telly, or when some chump
has turned the sharpness control up too far, I've never seen it before
on digital TV. When lots of edges are close together, as in the rows of
vines in a vineyard as seen from the air, the whole area is in black and
white. It really is most distracting, has anyone else noticed it?

One odd thing I noticed was at one of the wineries - either the pictures on
the wall were very abstract, or they'd been post-processed to deliberately
blur the images.

On this weeks programme they showed a black and white family photo in
detail, but then blurred out what appeared to be some more of them on
the wall behind someone.

This fuzzyvision thing is becoming very popular (which probably means the
controls on modern mixing desks make it easy to do). I can't remember exactly
where I saw it now, but I have seen a TV *drama* where people were driving
around in cars with fuzzy number plates. It looked seriously odd.

I saw it once on a documentary where a baby was born, his mother's private
parts were shown in all their glory but the baby's penis was made blurred. I
thought it was quite amusing at the time.

I noticed that a wall mounted picture/poster had been blurred out
last week - piossibly due to the Beebs senitivity to advertising?

They are very inconsistent about things like that.

On "Long way down" they would sometimes blur the sponsors logos on the bikes
and other times show the same ones clearly

How do you know it had a penis then?

Because the nurse said "it's a boy".

There are also two stuck pixels on the main camera. One far bottom right hand
corner, and another half way down and about a third in from the left.
