Are you being ironic? Dish is probably using MPEG4, like most BD titles do, but the BD is almost certainly at a higher bitrate. That explains the Picture Quality difference much better than "sophisticated compression" does.

I am shocked, however, that the quality is apparently very good. What about lossless audio, though?]]>Oct 13th 2008 2:20PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/dish-networks-1080p-vod-service-gets-inspected-looks-impressiv/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/dish-networks-1080p-vod-service-gets-inspected-looks-impressiv/Oct 13th 2008 3:22PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/dish-networks-1080p-vod-service-gets-inspected-looks-impressiv/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/dish-networks-1080p-vod-service-gets-inspected-looks-impressiv/Oct 13th 2008 3:49PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/dish-networks-1080p-vod-service-gets-inspected-looks-impressiv/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/dish-networks-1080p-vod-service-gets-inspected-looks-impressiv/Oct 14th 2008 12:52AM
