[QUOTE="HB13DISH, post: 426288, member: 262829"] There are several factors that determine the channel quality. - Video resolution - bitrate (or bit rate) for video and audio - Provider name I finally managed to install a plugin for a bitrate viewer (v1.30) for DM7000S [COLOR=Blue](thanks to mhku)[/COLOR] and it is very helpful to show the bitrate of every channel (not sure about HD) both FTA and encrypted. I tested with official smart cards and the results are the same before and after inserting the card. So I am confident that the bitrate reading is correct for a certain channel, even if it is not open. A quantitative measure can help to understand why a certain channel looks great and another is not so good. I tested BBC Prime and BBC World (FTA). See Table below est.=estimated [COLOR=Red](It would help to have the possiblity to insert a table in the reply box) [/COLOR] It is apparent now why an official smartcard for BBC Prime would give you a better video and audio quality than relying on the local providers.
