Danielle Nagler, Head of HD at the BBC, dances on a slightly pixellated pin-head in her latest blog about quality.
"As I have said previously our BBC HD service is optimised to deliver to typical viewing set ups - it is not designed to be perfect at very close quarters, or on a 90" projection screen for example. No HD channel as a general rule will offer the same quality as bluray, any more than standard definition television offers the same quality as DVDs. The work that of course has taken place behind the scenes to assess whether - aside from our technical view - the majority of viewers watching in normal situations in their living rooms are happy with the picture quality on the channel has shown that as a group, they are."
It sounds slightly like the climb-downs the BBC had to make with the sound quality of DAB - when "CD quality" became "near CD quality". So is it an HD service or not ?
