No HD on Ipguys with Mag 254

[lilspit1]

Most channels listed as HD on ipguys other than the movie channels do not appear in HD full screen on my TV.
They appear in the normal 4x3 mode.
Everything is elongated.
I have tried all combinations of the video settings on both my Mag 254 and my Sony HD TV.
Nothing changes the video.

Is this normal for ipguys?

I also am running another trial service.
Everything appears in HD full screen.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Your welcome. Not sure why but you have to do that with all ipguys channels for some reason.

Do anyone know what the resolution is?
Back when there weren't very many HD channels, watching sd sources on a HD tv full screen would result in people looking short and wide.
The 4x3 image on ipguys people look tall and thin until the image is expanded full screen.
It's as if the source is reformatted and compressed then sent that way to us.
So my question is what is the real resolution and quality of the video that I am receiving?
When expand/magnify the source. You are magnifying the artifacts of the compression further degrading the image.
When I tried ipguys a few months ago most if not all channels were this way.
Do ipguys or any of the servers have any real HD channels in 1080 or 720 at a decent bitrate?

its less than 480i, its interlaced and you gotta stretch it.
its terrible picture quality.
try one of the other IPTV servers, they actually have some HD 720p channels.
all channels are compressed though.

I am experiencing the exact same issue - picture quality is not that great at all and definitely is not HD like the channels suggest..I have to stretch the channels to make full screen .. IE: TSN and ESPN have really bad quality

Is there something I did wrong? I have video to 1080P - 20/60hz fps ...

I see someone made a comment that their quality is great with ipguys something must be wrong with my setup or they are out too lunch!

PS VOD works fantastic 1080P

I am chasing the same answer, can anyone tells what is the bitrate and resolution of "HD channels" offered by ipguys?
I joined a european forum and they offer great services, the HD channels are a mix of 720p and 1080p with bitrate that goes up to 2.8Mbs and as low as 1Mbs, but it's a bit pricy and the US channels are limited.
I am surprised that here in the US we are so behind.
