I wonder if the picture quality will get any better?]]>Jul 7th 2007 3:20PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/07/directv-10-launched-successfully-gears-up-for-september-action/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/07/directv-10-launched-successfully-gears-up-for-september-action/
As for PQ ... my experience is that moving from an HR10 to an HR20 improves quality immediately (HR10 softens picture), and the MPEG4 channels seem to be less (or better) compressed. Higher quality anyway. HBO will enforce a bitrate minimum on MPEG4.]]>Jul 7th 2007 3:27PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/07/directv-10-launched-successfully-gears-up-for-september-action/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/07/directv-10-launched-successfully-gears-up-for-september-action/Jul 7th 2007 7:37PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/07/directv-10-launched-successfully-gears-up-for-september-action/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/07/directv-10-launched-successfully-gears-up-for-september-action/
I do not need or want directv to take 1920, chop a third of it off, send me the remaining part, and then have my stb guess what was thrown away for their brand of 'hd' (ahem, hdlite). I think this is what Ken may have been referring to.]]>Jul 7th 2007 8:39PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/07/directv-10-launched-successfully-gears-up-for-september-action/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/07/directv-10-launched-successfully-gears-up-for-september-action/
Maybe I'd notice more of a difference at 1080i, not sure...]]>Jul 7th 2007 11:08PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/07/directv-10-launched-successfully-gears-up-for-september-action/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/07/directv-10-launched-successfully-gears-up-for-september-action/
I still hope it goes off orbit and heads towards Mars...]]>Jul 9th 2007 11:17AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/07/directv-10-launched-successfully-gears-up-for-september-action/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/07/directv-10-launched-successfully-gears-up-for-september-action/Jul 9th 2007 1:17PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/07/directv-10-launched-successfully-gears-up-for-september-action/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/07/directv-10-launched-successfully-gears-up-for-september-action/
Anybody know a date for when any of these new HD channels will be available?]]>Aug 18th 2007 11:54AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/07/directv-10-launched-successfully-gears-up-for-september-action/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/07/directv-10-launched-successfully-gears-up-for-september-action/DirecTv's vehicles the most we can expect from the signals will be 1080I. Can someone verify or debunk this information? I'm purchasing a high def 1080P television next month. It's my understanding the only 1080P signal available to me will be via a Blu Ray or HD DVD Player. Any information to veryify or debunk this information?]]>Jul 18th 2007 12:29AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/07/directv-10-launched-successfully-gears-up-for-september-action/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/07/07/directv-10-launched-successfully-gears-up-for-september-action/
