Maybe it would be OK if I downloaded only 4 programs per week, but I download over a 20 per week at the moment. I don't even watch the broadcast TV any more.

Helious · 21st October 2008, 18:29

19/week for me
your e-peen is bigger than mine.

Solvent · 21st October 2008, 18:40

After switching to the 720p's I don't know how anyone can watch those awful 624x352 rips [when the 720 is available]. So terribly muddy. Take advantage of the Go Large Helious.

The 5.1 sound is another big reason too.

It's not like I watch the shows the minute they air in the states so a litte extra wait is no big deal.

Helious · 21st October 2008, 18:43

Reckon eh, good call

Yeah, although ep 6 was a bit shit. Hopefully 7 picks up its game.

I would download more, but I know some people that download a few other shows, so I don't have to download everything I get. Though I wasn't counting a few poker programs I download.

BTW
I was glad to see the 1.5TB HDDs become available.

I find the standard ones quite watchable and I don't really want to download damn near 30GB per week. Between me and the flatmates we are already doing about 100GB per month now.

Solvent · 21st October 2008, 23:56

Watchable, sure, in the same sense a Hyundai is driveable.

Once you get used to 720p and 5.1 surround you can't watch the 352 rips without consciously being aware of how nasty they are. Sure, I'll watch them if there's nothing better. If you're watching on an old 17" monitor OK, but on any half decent screen the difference is stark. Even on a cheap 32" LCD TV you can't help but notice big pixelated chunks whenever there's a darker shade.

Without wanting to sound like a dick, I don't have a cap so that's not really an issue. If I did, I'd probably compromise and get 720p for the top end shows and settle on the low res for more so so shows.

Too many steps required to recode MKV files into a format playable on the 360 and not lose quality

Lightspeed · 22nd October 2008, 00:33

Once you've fined tuned it, it should just be one step with Super.

Sanchez · 22nd October 2008, 02:58

I started to get all the eps in 720, but USB Dvd player in room didnt like the res.

Back to standard for me

I used TSMuxer to convert from MKV to AVI, etc, for the PS3

Plop in the file, mux. Takes me around 6 minutes for a 4~ GB file

Kryten · 22nd October 2008, 09:31

Slightly off the beaten track for this thread, but episode two of Discovery's Toughest Race On Earth:Iditarod airs tonight - if you've ever wondered about or are interested in the nutters who race sled dogs, it's a good show

Agreed, I was fucking around with other things when I launched the episode intially, I caught a glimpse of what was going on, Paused, Removed my pants, Restarted the episode.

Helious · 23rd October 2008, 08:51

Anyone else been watching Fringe? I don't mind it eh, it's pretty good going. Has a dude from The Wire, a dude from Boston Legal and obviously you have Joshua Jackson from Dawson's Creek lol !

Haydos · 23rd October 2008, 08:59

House was meh... 13 getting her groove on was the highlight of the show but the whole "Lets make all of our characters have some sense of destructive behaviour" is a bit rich, no one does destructive like House and they should leave it to him.

Dexter

Ok - what's the guts with Dead Set?

People trapped in a Big Brother house when a Zombie outbreak occurs.

UK, so it should be funny. Anyone seen it - is it worth adding to the queue?
