Reply to: SKY HD channels

[PerlOfWisdom]

I'd rather watch something decent on a black and white, mono, 405 line TV than soap operas in ultra high definition holographic interractive 17 channel audio.

I believe BT were / are testing so are relaying signals back to earth in the clear. Their customer may or may not be SKY, but it does not restirct use to ASTRA satelites.

It's in a similar vein as Premiership football being broadcast live and free int the clear to several european countries. If you can pick up the signal from the satleite then good for you althought ehcarrier may get their wrists slapped.

From a forum I found (cant find it again), if you find the sattelite and the frequency then its in the clear

I'm a bit confused. Are you saying that BT or Sky are supplying unencrypted output, and what do you use to watch them? (i.e. is Sky selling HDTV receivers yet?)

If you know the right channel and satellite you can get a nose eye view from cruise missiles and predators and all sorts of equally boring stuff too.

BT have been producing a HDTV stream for most premier league games this season.

Hth.

Dunno about that

One has got BSG with a female Starbuck and Number Six with the legs that will not quit. Stargate Atlantis has had Major Samantha Carter in a wet teashirt and Stargate itself has had her naked!

What...when?!?!?!

Dammit...Im gonna have to google this tonight!

BTW, when you say nekid...do you mean actually nekid and you see some heaven or not actually nekid and you see nothing but bare back?

If nekid, is it on a parr with the sonic shower scenes from Enterprise with that vulcan with the chest puppies that make Newton and Einstein look like numpties that know nothing about gravety?

What's the point, there's still nothing worth watching...

But you can watch nothing in much higher quality.

You can't subscribe yet.

I don't have one myself but played with the technology at a certain manufacturer of satellite tv equipment and it's fantastic!

Isn't it Paco...?

Absolutely. At a 'certain manufacturer' we had a demo running on a dual output STB to compare standard def with HD, and its when you see them running side by side like that that you really appreciate the difference in quality.

Have they found intelligent life in New Zealand yet?

Yes, its all living over here though...taking good jobs away from the locals and generally showing the English how things should be done!

Have they found intelligent life in New Zealand yet?

Not likely. Evolutionists use New Zealand to prove the existence of the missing link between chimps and humans.

[DodgyAgent]

There is a National Geographic HD channel too.
