I couldnt agree with you any more Kent..
Another classic example was last weekends Super V8 series from Darwin.
I had the Direct feed Via Sat tuned in on my Nokia..Which was a bloody Nice
Clean and crisp picture.
When switching over to SKY Nz's TV one service, it was a Washed out trashy
looking pic..
Just one of the powers that Pay Tv operators have ..
Increase and decrease the bandwidth as they see fit...
What he means is, He was intercepting a sports feed on B1. Big deal..
