You've never heard 1960s analog tape hiss until you've heard it on an early Beatles CD! :) This, and the thing about upconverting DVD players earlier, remind me of the early days of CD, when all music CDs came with that stock disclaimer somewhere in the insert, explaining that “the CD format may reveal limitations of the source tapes.” You’ve never heard 1960s analog tape hiss until you’ve heard it on an early Beatles CD! :)

While some Blu-ray titles, mostly earlier titles, use MPEG-2, most use H.264 or VC-1 and still use 30GB or more of the disc. Some of that will be the superior audio, but most of it is for more image data. Definitely, and keep in mind that’s MPEG-2.

And although they don't make any 1080p claims, they do a lot of HD boasting. But it's quite obvious they kill the bitrate of HD programs when you look at the size of the recorded files on TiVo.A two-hour 1080i movie only taking 5-6 GB sometimes? That's some bit-hacking going on! If that's all that was needed, then why do we need an HD optical disc capacity with a minimum of 25 GB. I subscribe to Comcast.
