| 589691 | 2007-09-10 12:58:00 | A bit about Sky many of their channels are transmitted at 544x576 resolution and most average sub 3.5mbits most of the bandwidth is allocated to Sky Sports and Sky movies which can at times be at around 10 mbitts you will see this on live local rugby tests they crank it up to look as good as it can. AS for extra bandwidth on D1, much of it is used for Australian services as the satellite now supports REUSE of the same freq but using different beams. E.G SBS Australia can use 12486 H even though Freeview is on 12438 H. The transponder sizing is the same as before 54 mhz which sky split into halves of 27 mhz. In fact before Sky went to D1 they actually started using extra capacity.. where do you think all those extra PPV box office channels came from. They only said they will take an extra 1 and a half t.p on d1. Pretty much they have room for another dozen channel if that. |

| 589695 | 2007-09-10 23:07:00 | Let's face it... how many people would seriously move just to get a slightly higher-quality TV signal? I doubt it would be many :rolleyes:. | Erayd (23) | ||

What telstra have told me is if they get enough people down a street that want there service then telstra will roll out there service going by the amount of demand they receive from the public. |
