This was the point I raised in my blog explaining why I ended up starting the no 10 petition, that I too had no idea about any encoder or bitrate changes by the BBC when I first noticed the decline in PQ on BBC HD.

I and others are being accused of assuming because the numbers are smaller they must be worse and hence imagining the decline, but it is evident many people beside myself had noticed the decline without knowing the numbers had changed.
