DAB sounds worse than FM[_2_] December 16th 09 01:59 PM

Excellent article on BBC HD picture quality issue

I certainly didn't know this bit:

"Strangely, the BBC continues to broadcast high-definition to the rest of
Europe at around 16Mbps in Full HD 1920x1080."

Unbelievable!

did you read it all? it isn't a whitewash as it contains

"She told the BBC that "there is not a major issue with picture
quality" and added the corporation had only received one formal
complaint.

The majority of those leaving comments on her blog post disagreed.

"Even my wife can see a reduction in picture quality and she's got
cataracts," wrote one."


Crucial words are
In her blog post, Ms Nagler said that the services was created to
be at its best for "typical viewing set ups" and that user groups
with standard equipment were happy with the service.

What are "typical viewing set ups" and "standard equipment"?

I know I have official complained to 3 different parts of the BBC so it must
be me mentioned as the only one.
The rest of you must be telling lies.
LOL
OK I only joking, if not you then Danielle Nagler certainly is.

It was almost a whitewash though - lots of comments about what Danielle
Nagler thought on the matter and precious little about what people were
actually complaining about.

Nagler's definitely lying. I blame it on her boss though, Simon Nelson, who
happens to be the person who chose to use low bit rates on DAB, and he lied
about DAB's audio quality whenever he appeared on Feedback and other Radio 4
programmes. So I'd imagine he'll have told her to lie, because that's what
he would do.
