i remember converting things to Smacker format video edit them into vidya games. made by the same company as Bink, but earlier, and it supported only 256 colors + transparency but you could have a completely different palette of colors on each frame.

ahmeni posted:does it even have apps?? or is it just preloaded with Netflix or something the apple tv: 1) plays (some of) your content from itunes 2) has support for a few online streaming services for video and music here's a list of the services iTunes Store (Content must be streamed live or downloaded via iTunes onto a device with storage capability [personal computer, iPhone, iPad, etc.]) Flickr and iCloud photo slide shows Netflix Hulu Plus YouTube and Vimeo Rotten Tomatoes reviews can be browsed for rented/purchased content NBA TV and MLB.tv allow access to league scores, statistics, and their accompanying subscription services. so i think in australia you'd just get itunes store, flickr and icloud slide shows, youtube and vimeo.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:hey are there any tv providers that dont compress the poo poo out of everything and turn it into macroblock hell? i just dumped uverse and have just been watching ota tv and apple tv lately, and holy poo poo are both waaaaaaaayyyyyyyy better than uverses blocky lovely mess. any fast motion was rendered unwatchable mess because of the compression. my comcast system displays them just fine, but i've been to other regions and watched comcast there and it was all compressed?? though our local comcast systems have completely removed all analog signals from the distribution, so I think they have a lot more bandwidth available to send out hd channels than places that still have analog channels available

Shaggar posted:I think u mean standard def digital, not analog. analog is the channels your 20 year old tv can get plugged directly into the cable. I don't think many providers have much more than 60 analog channels. each of those channels is gigantic and static so they block off a huge amount of bandwidth on the coax. by switching everyone to digital they free up that space for switched digital. yeah pretty much. one standard analog cable channel's space could provide 2 or 3 high quality 720p or 1080i digital channels, or up to 8 SD resolution digital channels.

Shaggar posted:eventually cable cos will get to a point where they have a handful of holdouts who wont let them convert and the cable cos will just drop them. yeah thats what they did here. except instead of drop people they issued the absolute most basic digital cable box you can imagine for free to anyone with an analog only subscription and told them they could have a free install job from comcast, install the free device themselves, or just not ever watch cable again. the cable box is like the size of an apple tv 3 and all it has on the remote is power, change channel and volume

Shaggar posted:they give those to the ones that let them in to install them. theres a whole other category of olds who refuse to let them change anything. it turns out that when you inform them that "no really, you aren't getting anymore of your cable if you don't let us install this, because the signal is shutting off on may 1st" they change their minds p quick.

ahmeni posted:it's weird here in aus cable is a premium tier service and just about everybody else watches poo poo OTA for free thats pretty much how it is in every country that had like only 2 channels up until the late 80s. like in the us and canada cable systems started to get subscription over tv services by the mid 70s, and later satellite did too. but in australia there wasn't any regular broadcast tv at all until 1956 and they didn't get more than 5 channels nationwide til the 90s iirc
