The Hitchhiker's Guide to Encoding: Life, Encoders and Everything (Or a brief history of HD encoding) 11:24pm on 07 Dec 2009 Andy, I just caught a flash, and it wasn't the earlier kind, it was one of the green ones. 2323.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to Encoding: Life, Encoders and Everything (Or a brief history of HD encoding) 11:18pm on 07 Dec 2009 Ben, email me please. (http://www.zen97962.zen.co.uk/ final disclosure)
The Hitchhiker's Guide to Encoding: Life, Encoders and Everything (Or a brief history of HD encoding) 11:00pm on 07 Dec 2009 Andy, no flashing for me on the Chatterley affair, well not of the sort your talking about. Not too bad a picture either. Shame it's not in 5.1 though!
BBC HD Christmas schedule 8:48pm on 07 Dec 2009 Danielle, any chance you'd like to take a leaf out of Andy Q's book and start responding to questions "in-Blog"? I think it would really aid customer relations and contribute to a better Blog experience for all.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to Encoding: Life, Encoders and Everything (Or a brief history of HD encoding) 7:20pm on 07 Dec 2009 soul4real - good question, unfortunately it's not on Andy's list of ones that can be answered (incidently, you and others please check emails tonight - vmt).
The Hitchhiker's Guide to Encoding: Life, Encoders and Everything (Or a brief history of HD encoding) 4:03pm on 07 Dec 2009 #43 I meant direct from the STREAM (not screen) obviously.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to Encoding: Life, Encoders and Everything (Or a brief history of HD encoding) 4:00pm on 07 Dec 2009 #39, just seen that comment, and yes, HD_fan428 did already do a fantastic job putting up evidence of screen grabs direct from the screen, both here and as evidence for my BBC Trust Appeal submission. Perhaps, Andy you are already starting here to build a case to discredit this evidence, I don't know, but as others have pointed out we don't need the evidence ourselves because we can see it sitting down in front of our TVs just watching the telly.

It's the BBC Staff and those doubters who very occasionally pop out of the woodwork on the Blog, but also for the BBC Trust who, if they don't actually watch BBC HD in their own homes, will need to see a picture, or two, just to show what we're talking about in the 600+ pages of A4 generated already in these BBC HD PQ Blogs. For HD-fan's stupendous efforts, I am very grateful! As I said before I'm now looking forward to Thursday's Blog, most particularly to see your own (I'm assuming counter) evidence on the encoder/bit-rate capabilities.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to Encoding: Life, Encoders and Everything (Or a brief history of HD encoding) 3:40pm on 07 Dec 2009 Andy, it's clear that it's a complex business - I never doubted it, and I look forward to learning more about it all in the coming week. Please keep your in Blog comments coming thick and fast too; they're very much appreciated.

Personally, I will reserve final judgement until I've read the whole series, but at this stage I feel my passions raising and I can't help but say well said to daveac at #38 above, with his problem a, b, c point. To my mind, problem c) exists - the picture is undoubtedly worse, and rather than constantly denying it (and as you do for the other problem issues) please just admit it and then explain to us all why it has to be so. If it's a very good reason, then I'm sure most of us will just accept it and shut up (and perhaps go out and get ourselves a Sky box and Blu-Ray for Xmas too). No promises from me though.

And Andy, re: #28 Ms Scott (MD of Freesat) did say that, and has admitted doing so in a personal email to me. I'm not clear on her current employment relationship with the BBC but I know she joined the BBC in 97 and has evidently worked with Danielle quite recently so, next time you meet her, please feel free to have a quiet word with her on my behalf (or ask Danielle to).
BBC HD Christmas schedule 00:43am on 07 Dec 2009 #6, #12 I agree - Danielle, come on, listen to these guys please. They've been asking you very politely, and patiently, over and over again for Don Carlo and the Vienna Concert to be shown on your channel.

Coverage of such Opera and Music events, along with Sport and the showing of Films, is surely what HD TV was invented for and certainly not for the likes of the Preview Loop, In the Night Garden, Hole in the Wall, Totally Saturday or Flog It. It's Xmas, give us a real treat!
