MOTOGP IN HD

Why does foxtel only have MGP in shit NTSC ( not the same color.........US
type colour ) and crapy mono sound .

I want AC3 sound on my 42 inch plasma with 1080 HD specification


Man they have it in Europe ., We are becomming the unlucky country

 

Most people who have Foxtel/Austar aren't going to have a HD TV or AC3/DTS
so why bother?
And I imagine it'll have something to do with sending the signal half way
across the world too.

Yeah it definitely looks better on Channel 10 (ie not NTSC) but I'm not sure if its HDTV. Anyone?

 

I don't think it's NTSC (except the Jap round).
Foxtel just have shit picture quality!
Back when I was on Galaxy satellite the picture was far superior (but I
can't remember the sound).

 

I'm on austar and reckon it looks OK. I'd asume they are the same.

I say it inst NTSC either, I cant see the Broadcasting commission
allowing that...Smack?? Joe??

Satellite is far better when it comes to picture quality
stereo sound is the best you could get on it

for AC-3 you need a HD set top box and a TV station to broadcast it

There's a possibility it maybe NTSC converted but I doubt it. You
can't transmit NTSC without converting it to PAL, but I reckon that's
what the original poster meant.

If it was coming out of Europe, there's a possibility it went through
the US or somewhere and converted from PAL to NTSC then linked to here
and back to PAL again. That would look pretty shitty. But not having
seen the pictures he refers to, I can't tell. The pics I get off my
Austar satellite feed are pretty good and certainly haven't been near
any NTSC converters. But they should be the same as the Foxtel feed,
methinks maybe his Foxtel provider is maybe compressing too much and
that's fucking up the pics?

Well my Foxtel provider is doing it too 'cause it's never been as good as
the Satellite was and certainly not the "DVD quality" the original
door-to-door salesman promised me!
(The trade-off is that it doesn't suffer any of the digital blocking or
freezing that the sattelite transmission used to when there were storms or
planes flying overhead)

Or from French PAL.
I get good pictures and sound on Fox.

I think the original poster just wanted to impress us peasants with the
superiority of his home-entertainment setup. His tastes are so advanced,
even broadcasters haven't caught up to him yet...

 

I've been surprised at the quality of the satellite feed here, thought
it would be worse than the microwave feed off Mt Wellington, but the
pics are as sharp as. Much better ABC free to air pic than I've ever
had down here too ...

If they can't do it differently, they don't do it at all. Which is why I
think my old Citroen DS didn't have self-cancelling indicators. High
pressure hydropneumatic suspension, Hydraulic servo brakes and Hydraulic
power steering with no mechanical connection? no problems. Automatic
gearbox that is a manual with little hydraulic actuators to change gears and
operate the clutch? no problem. self levelling suspension AND
self-levelling headlights (never could work out why you needed both) no
problem. But self-cancelling indicators? No can do.....

ob moto. I sold the car to buy a bike.

Rebuilt carbies on Monday night.
Balanced them with a brand-spanking new set of vacuum gauges. Sweet!
New tyres today.
Nearly ready to tackle the Nullarbor.

I was shocked at the quality of foxtel satellite when I installed a HT
for a client, ran the foxtel through a 10HT sony LCD projector onto a
3mt screen and the quality was outstanding. if I every had the choice
it would be satellite for me

You added "mind reader" to your resume IK? Maybe someone should get this
technocrat audiophool's address and we relieve him of his burdensome
equipment and replace it with ye olde "12 inch General Electric - black and
white" box for his viewing pleasure.

Then the rest of us can crowd around the big screen and watch those Isle of
Mann TT DVD's while we drink beer and eat cashews etc.

Nope, just read enough posts which went like,

"I'm getting the shits with the way I keep touching down the ehxaust in
right-handers on my brand-new R1, even after I had the shop fit it with a
Penske shock to increase ride height and improve ground clearance. Does
anyone know of a good underseat exhaust conversion for them?"

Take that shit to a nightclub... "Oh, look, is that the time?".

 

That's NOTHIN'! I scrape the exhaust on LEFT handers!!

Dunno. I'm with Austar, and it comes through fine. In fact, the picture
quality off the satellite is usually better than free-to-air.

It went something like this:

rrrrrrrr, uh, rrrrrr, uh, rr, uh (short shifting here), rrrrrr, uh,
ring,ding,ding, ding, brap, brap, rrrr, uh, rrr.....

 

Heh heh; and during the Superbikes there was always a high-pitched

You wanna hear what my mind-reading talents make of that one?

If you prompt a witticism from someone else, and you follow that witticism
up with something which is nothing more more complex than a whittled-down
reversal of it, it paints you as someone whose judgment is clouded by an
inability to handle being upstaged... another sign of ego dominating the
intellect, sometimes referred to as the
better-say-something-or-they'll-think-you're-stupid syndrome.

Think about how you would assess the following exchange in a real-life
setting,

Centurion: "Visual Basic is for people who want their preferred programming
language and their favourite beer to share the same acronym."
Random person across the table: "Yeah. That's why, in Queensland, they call
Visual Basic Four-X Basic.... bwahahahahaha (snort)."
Centurion (to himself): Faken toolbox.

Correct?
