[QUOTE="HB13DISH, post: 417150, member: 262829"] The DreamBox 7000S shows the video resolution (pixel size) of each TV channel. It shows the correct resolution for FTA channels but not for the encrypted ones, unless you have a paid smartcard. Service providers play with the resolution in order to put more channels in their allocated bandwith and when a channel has a DVD like resolution of 720x576 for PAL with 25 fps it has a richer picture, great sound and the colours are really fantastic compared to a TV channel that has 352 x 288 pixels with washed out picture and is hardly worth watching. I would like to suggest that members who can open encrypted channels (not only on HotBird) would send a list of the resolution of each channel so that this information would help people to know beforehand what kind of picture quality to expect before subscribing to a service. Without this information, they would surely get disappointed if the resolution is not so good and once they sign up they are stuck with the smartcard for a whole year. Also, subscribers can put pressure on the service providers when they know exactly what they are getting and would ask him to make a better resolution otherwise they will not renew the subscription. Thank you for your cooperation. [/QUOTE]
