quote by pleer: uk people - sky are offering up to 16mb and unlimited bandwidth
(fair use policy that you will never break) - getting it on sunday. let\'s hope
i actually get 16mb! the only bad thing is that you have to have sky tv to be
able to get it but if you already have it like me its all good.
read the small print, you wont get 16mb unless you live very close to a 16mb
enabled exchange, the most you will get is 8mb. and there is a fair usage
policy, read that very carefully

so has anyone compared the quality of bitsrg's pdtv release against this?
also, pdtv?? didn't realise scifi (us) was available on free over the air
atsc? thought you had to subscribe to sat/cable. pdtv implies a stream >
10mb/s.

i don't want to offend anyone, but payeco you should look into a.t.s. and its
predecessor m.a.t.r.i.x., i'm just sayin'. actually, the producers of tv shows
sometimes make more money reselling their shows to the international audience
than they do domestically. though they require a high price for first run, so
local channels in poorer nations, like where i currently live, don't/can't pay
for most of it. but alot of producers will resell the show much cheaper when
there's a delay (which can be more than a year) between when the show airs on
its first run. which is alot of what i get here and it sucks . but, for
example, bruckheimer is making a killing internationally on first runs. i think
he prices his licenses right. anyway, i thought pdtv was pal digital? if it is
then the quality won't be noticably better. if its not, then i'd like to know if
its better too, thank you. otherwise is there any chance of a hr/720p release?
first ep (or 1 & 2) was good.

tdx 2005.....
digital cap:
this includes any real digital source that didn't pass through any
analog interface between the source (sat/antenna/cable) and the file
on your computer.
this includes atsc off-air antenna signals carrying mpeg2 transport
streams (using cards such as myhd/hipix/wintv-hd), directivo mpeg2
streams (not standard tivo!) and dvb stream capture cards.
*hdtv* (high definition televison): digital recording from a source
stream at either 1080i or 720p at a bitrate from 19,39mbps or
higher.
*pdtv* (pure digital television): other resolution digital recor-
dings from source streams at a bitrate of 10+mbps or higher.
- this includes digital recordings from digital c-band and
dvb.
*sdtv* (standard digital television): digital recording or capture
from a source stream at any resolution with bitrate under
10mbps.
- this includes directivo but also captures from digisat or
digicable with analog capture cards.
note: for svcd, analog cable and antenna caps are not allowed, so
sdtv is the lowest allowed source and will have no label. see
naming below.
note: hdtv and pdtv rips are digital recordings, although pdtv was
labeled wrongly in the past by some groups (tivo is not pdtv).
analog cap:
this includes any source that went through at least one digital ->
analog -> digital process.
this includes standard tivo, any mpeg2 capture card, any dv source
(unless you're releasing your home videos that were actually shot on
a dv camera) or any other standard capture card.
pdvtv and hdtv is never captured in analogue, on the other hand a
sdtv cap can be both.
digilaw: witness the difference in quality between dsr and pdtv releases for
eureka??
-------------------------------
edit:
managed to grab the.lost.room.1of3.(pdtv).bitsrg.avi
encode info
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
original air date: december 12, 2006
video source: pdtv (7500kb/s mp2)
video codec: xvid (2-pass)
video bitrate average: 963kb/s
video resolution: widescreen 640 x 368
video fps: 29.971
audio format: 48000hz 160 kb/s total (2 chnls)
runtime: 1:26:46
file size: 699 mb (or 716,786 kb or 733,989,292 bytes)
good thing it's a independent release lol, otherwise would have been nuked for
being mislabelled -> video source: pdtv (7500kb/s mp2) ; pdtv is at least
10mb/s !
should be dsr as well (dvb-c/dvb-s).
imho, the aaf release looks much sharper. vbr 160kb/s audio pretty pointless
as well
so is this broadcast differently from most sci-fi shows like battlestar? because
this mini series is hdtv/pdtv quality rather than dsr.
oh and thx eztv

yeah but you got bad isp providers that give out
your surfing
habits to your
goverment (now if that aitn somethign to worry about - makes the movie and
music industrys job that much easier to get info on what you download and by law
isp providers state side have to keep records of ppls activitys for upto 2
years!! internet aint fun anymore!
you need to stop listening to whatever propaganda device you got that from. the
government doesn't get anything like that from the isps. the only time the isps
give anything to the government is when a person has been involved in child
pornography or some illegal activity like that, and only then do they tell the
government who a certain ip address belongs to. nothing about searching habits.
isps don't keep records of such stuff. if the government wants that, they have
to get evidence on you and get a search warrant to seize your computer and try
to look up your search history.
if you want to talk about big brother, eu rules have stated since after 9/11
that isps have to keep records on all customers for two years. we have no such
laws here in the us, most isps only keep ip assignment records for customers
90-120 days, but they don't _have_ to do that and some don't do it at all. the
government wants to try to make that the rule here, but now that democrats are
in control, it's not likely to happen.
damn that must suck for those people in europe. they have crazy limits and have
records kept. i love being free.
