Does anyone have a numbers supporting this opinion? I capture
both from antenna and cable. On the antenna, which is about 8.7
GBph, I get one HD stream and several non-HD. On the cable,
which is about 17.4 GBph, I get major networks at 2x1080i or
3x720p streams and possibly one other non-HD on either. How are
these numbers any different from each other?
Much of my recording, during the writers' strike, is from PBS.
OTA they send a 720p stream and 3 other SD streams. On cable,
they share with FOX and ABC 720p streams and a single other SD
stream. The cable signal is twice the bit rate of OTA.
After selecting a stream and editing with VideoReDO, most cable
broadcasts (save PBS) contain more bytes per 41 minutes than
OTA.
