Kinda random, but I'd thought I'll share my caps with you all..

 

They are in full HD quality, hasn't been JPEG compressed.

Apparently they aren't broadcasting in high quality HD.

Bitrate wise or format wise? Cos the bitrate when I checked was 14-17mbps.

Judging by the high quality of your images, I'd be pretty sure that they are broadcasting in 1080i, the highest definition available for TV.

They switch back from 1080i and 720i - when they do 720i - they put blue bars down both sides that say "HD"

720i? Never heard of that before neither did I know they downscale back and forth, I always assumed they upscaled.

That set bares a striking resemblence to KCBS' HD set, with a few modifications of course.

I guess it's because I live in a smaller market, who knows, but HD looks amazing in respect to even these images, but isn't 1080p the best available? Anyway, the studio looks pretty good.

There is no such thing as 1080p or 720i.

 

1080i has 1,080 lines of resolution and the picture is interlaced, which means that half of the lines are updated first, and then the other half are afterwards. NBC and CBS use 1080i.

 

720p has 720 lines of resolution and uses progressive scan, which means that the lines are updated one-by-one. ABC and FOX use 720p.

 

As far as what is better, there isn't one that is clearly better than the other, but if I had to choose, I would go with 1080i.

 

I just wanted to clear that up.

One thing that annoys me with their pillarboxing, is sometimes they have a 16:9 video and they squash it to 4:3 and then pillarbox it when obviously it could be upscaled but still maintaining the 16:9 aspect ratio.

Yeah, so far, 1080p is only used with video game consoles like the PS3.

 

Don't forget about HD-DVD and Blu-Ray Discs, some of which also have a native resolution of 1080p.

Sorry, I was typing too fast :) I meant 720p ;D
