[BC] The place for OTA TV

[Mike McCarthy]

Agreed.  Anything fast action doesn't toleratecompression...at all.  
Golf is a great example.  The feeds from Europe until this past year 
were loaded with visual jitter created by the compression.  Then look at 
the block rastering and pixiliating of football and soccer matches with 
the uniformly green grass fields during fast camera motions that then stop.

Really bad receivers and displays show this rather readily.  Better ones 
conceal all but the most compressed streams.

Live golf is degraded at even 13 megabits. Serious broadcasters that actually produce high quality content want to be competitive with other media in the 2 and 4K world and are loath to give away bits.
