C5 DTT. They're having a laugh, surely ?

Is this the new Baird digital system then?

This presumably is the same reguaulatoregulatorr who is currently consulting
on a possible increase in audio description for the blind, which requires
the blind to use a web form for the survey.. The same regulator who, when
rung about said survey had never heard of it, and asked me to email them to
which, after three weeks there has been no response at all.

Lack of monitoring, fault on statmuxer, couldn't care less about the
viewer......

Where's the regulator when you need them ? Oh yes, I remember now, adding
even more pointless ****e to the platform, at the same time as flogging
off the bandwidth.

Don't forget trying to shoehorn in a few HD channels! (and thus lowering the
bandwidth of the existing SD channels which will have to fit in less space!)

On Hotbird this morning I had a good laugh watching UM TV, which was not
only was suffering from severe motion blocking but also had the left and
right audio out of phase.

Then I switched over to BBC Parliament, which was - and still is -
broadcasting the Bournemouth conference with the audio out of phase....

A minor thread hijack; are there any freeview boxes that show what the
bitrate is? Or is this information published elsewhere?

I have not seen a Freeview box which does this - but software which either
comes with or can be with some makes of PC Freeview cards does!

Yes, terrible here.. constant blocking artifacts on scene changes and
movement.

I'm on Blackhill.

Me too, it got too much to be watchable so I ended up switching over to
analogue which was fine.

What do we do when this happens after analogue switch off?

If you've noticed that the politician's lips are not moving at the time
you hear their voices, that isn't necessarily a technical fault.
Remember that all politicians, of all parties, habitually talk out of
their censored

Not instantaneously, but going by the recorded sizes from my mythtv box

Gadget Show, 19:58 21st Sep, 67 minutes, 1531979288 bytes
Gadget Show, 19:58 12th Oct, 67 minutes, 1187184092 bytes

Those sizes include the video, main audio, audio description subtitles
and mheg data. I always record 2 minutes before and 5 minutes after
published times.

So (based on a small sample size) they've dropped from 3.05Mbps to
2.36Mbps, a 22% reduction in bitrate.

Ah, this in preparation for their new channel called WPD, or watch paint

Sport is on TDC - Tumble Drier Channel. The resolution is better than
Full HD too. ;-)
