    Hello all, I have noticed lately that the BBC seem to show the same show at a different level of quality when it is repeated or on late at night. Either that or I am going mad.

    Now what I dont understand is the bitrate is the same, I would have thought same show + same bit rate would = same quality.

    Has anyone else noticed this or have a go at explaining it?

    A perfect example is Life, on the original air date it looked stunning, it was repeated last night and looked better than SD but no where near the original.....

    I was reading about that too, I do not think that is the cause though.

    I was watching the two programs with a friend and he could also see a big difference in the quality. As I said before, same program different showing.

    Then a show like Strictly Come Dancing looks out of this world good. It is a shame its a pants show.
