Olympic Bandwidth Request

[ButtonPuncher]

So how about dropping 4.2  down to the absolute lowest bandwidth that your encoder can go?  480i, 1fps, and just re-map the olympics audio?  Then drop 4.3 all together for two weeks?

C'mon engineers!  I'll even send a box of Crispy Kremes over!

I remember how good OTA HD looked when the subchannels didn't exist.  Give us that back for two weeks.  Pretty please!

Is our feed to TWC/AT&T/Dish full bandwidth?  In other words, are the feeds to them send as 3 separate full bandwidth channels?  I'm guessing not but I figured that I'd ask.

BTW, any engineering positions available?  

Thanks,
            Ben

If you bought Krispy Kreme Inc. and then offered to give it to Journal Communications, I am sure they would take you seriously.  

But it would probably be cheaper for you to buy all their ad time and then give it away.

Or lease a jet and fly out this evening.  

Good luck!

If I recall correctly, TWC stopped paying for dedicated full-bandwith fiber lines.

And judging by the fuzzy text on this screencap I took, I'd bet TWC's feed is the OTA one.

I think you do recall correctly.  There was a lengthy thread a few months back on this topic.

That really stinks.  TWC is horrible IMHO.  They keep raising rates and dropping quality just because the casual viewer doesn't notice.  The last straw for me was when they changed to that horrible program guide.
