I will take in to account your recommendation to move away from the screen, I am currently sitting about 6ft away as this monitor is for the PC, with the DVB-T set top box connected up via HDMI when I want to watch any TV if the wife is watching the main TV in the other room.
I agree that the term 'unwatchable' is certainly subjective, and maybe I was a tad over the top with my comment. I have been a long fan of cycling and can remember fondly Channel 4 airing the Tour De France back in the late 80's, back then it was all analogue and the PQ was always excellent, even from the motorcycles.
The broadcasters now use digital and often the picture break-up on their feeds from the motorcycles also makes watching cycling on Digital unwatchable, obviously that is nothing to do with transmission or bit rates etc but the satellite link from the cameras to the plane and FEC etc.
The 2016 Tour De Yorkshire (for example) had to abandon 'live' coverage due a fault with the plane (that was ITV4)
I would really appreciate if Brian could do an article about the switch to T2 as it is now less than 12 months away for people receiving from Tacolneston.
Really appreciate your posts, and sorry if I came across as a moaning old git :) It seems I have become Victor Meldrew in my dotage!
