cwt Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Yes not even a static placeholder like the old days ; sometime after 3 oclock on the day i seem to recall will see if the beyonwiz or trf2400 saves me doing it manually - probably not ..

digitalj Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 They're on the air. Big difference in PQ between SD and HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalj Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Current bitrates before 9HD and 9Life start: 9GEM: 9.4-10.6Mbps NBN: 4.6-5.4Mbps 9GO!: 3.2-3.7Mbps eXtra: 1.6Mbps CBR Taken over a 5 minute period. New bitrates:NBN - 5Mbps CBR 9HD - 6.1-6.6Mbps 9GEM - 2.1-2.25Mbps 9GO! - 2.1-2.3Mbps 9Life - 2.3-3Mbps eXtra - 1.4-1.6Mbps Taken over 5 minutes. NRL is going to look so good at that bitrate.

ron12 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Is it called 9HD or NBNHD or NBN9HD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSmith Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Is it called 9HD or NBNHD or NBN9HD? NBN HD for Nth NSW and WIN HD for all WIN Corp. stations isn't it? JSmith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalj Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 Is it called 9HD or NBNHD or NBN9HD? Channel name is "9HD Mid North Coast", watermark/logo is the same as metro 9HD with the 9 dots, number 9, the HD has been shrunk a little and NBN added beneath.

digitalj Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 I was worried my panasonic DMR-XW350 would not store 9HD, but it has and while there's no video when watching live, I can direct record the channel and I get video on replay If I don't want to record, I can pause Live TV and play it back with a delay of only a few seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwt Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Happy that my toppy 2400 converted what I assume is AAC codec sound into dolby digital for the pre pro when on auto and my old wiz p2 handled the aac as well Hope that vbr hd bandwidth stays the same ; good to see just cbr used for the lesser channels ..

cwt Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Thats a lot better than another mpeg4 channel; 7flix is using digitalj ;thanks Now nbn has lost the redundant mpeg2 audio they can start sending the dolby digital plus [ chances not particularly high ..] http://www.dtvforum.info/index.php/topic/206162-new-7-channel-on-76/page-8#entry2058637 No conversion is taking place, 9HD NBN is using Dolby 5.1 @448Kbps, no aac audio.

bizzibee Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Hey has anyone who gets both NBN & Nine compared NBN HD to Nine HD? WIN HD looks fantastic most of the time, except for WIN News and commercials shot in SD. As reported by RedDusk on whirlpool: "..I get both WIN and Nine here in Sydney and watching both side-by-side on a 4K monitor, WIN HD is clearly better than Nine HD in terms of detail retention. Have a look at this same-frame comparison I uploaded between WIN and Nine HD (hover on the image to see the Nine HD version): http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/163952 The easiest place to see the difference is the detail in the black area in the top-left corner of the tray and also the fine details just below the watermark. WIN is clearly much superior. For the five minutes in which this screenshot was taken, the bitrate at the same time for WIN and Nine was:WIN HD: 5.19 MbpsNine HD: 4.09 Mbps" TheStorm said: "The larger majority of WIN channels are now mpeg 4 (9hd, 9life, Extra, GOLD) whereas channel 9 only has 9hd and 9life in mpeg 4. Basically WIN is using its spectrum more efficiently (running a full extra channel compared to 9 ~ shopping channel admittedly) Anyway when the metro stations drop the mpeg 2 for most channels, then they will have better quality too. :)" Is NBN using mpeg4 for NBN HD, Life, Extra, GOLD. Or just for NBN HD & Life like Channel 9? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalj Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 NBN only uses MPEG-4 for 9HD. 9life uses MPEG-2. eXtra is the only datacast channel on the network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizzibee Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 OK thanks for letting me know. That's a pity for NBN viewers I guess (in respect of NBN not having as much bandwidth for their HD Channel as WIN for HD). I guess NBN (and Nine), could move those others to mpeg4 when they think that there are more people with mpeg4 capable TV's etc. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwt Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Dont know if steveb and NBN have adjusted downwards the hd bitrate much but digitalj reported a higher bitrate than win the other day [9HD - 6.1-6.6Mbps] so i wouldnt be too sorry for us the NBN encoders are very good too ; big bang theory was very nice last night OK thanks for letting me know.

ckent Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 "Dropping" MPEG-2 would be equivalent to dropping the channel for certain viewers. They would never do that. That's why launching a new channel (like 7flix) in MPEG-4 is much more feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
