Where/when did sky say summer?
As far as this is concerned I do believe that they were referring to "Now TV".
I could be wrong but I don't think that timeframe has anything to do with the "oneguide" for instance.
I did read somewhere on this forum... ormaybe DS that there is a meeting at SKY in January regarding something related to Xbox. Again, this is all rumour but I honestly think that there may be something happening sooner than next summer.
Of course all these issues we are seeing may impact that schedule too!
On a side note, I am not really experiencing judder that I've noticed. I haven't tried SKY Sports News, so will do that tonight. I am using the 2TB SKY HD box and my Xbox is then connected directly to the TV. I have it set to output 5.1 via HDMI and then I have my optical cable from my Xbox connected to my 5.1 surround sound system. The Xbox is set to output DTS via this method and seems to produce better sound than before if I'm honest.
The main issue I can see on "some" channels is a degredation in picture quality, which is most noticeable on dark images. Watching "The Walking Dead" which had recorded of FX HD was quite bad in places and really didn't feel like HD to be honest.
By far my biggest gripe is the issue I seem to get with lip syncing on certain channels. It's not out by much... but enough to annoy!!
Again this is dependant on channel as last night I happened to have the comedy channel on which was showing friends, it looked and sounded fine?? No lip sync issues and pic quality was what I would expect from an upscaled SD content on an HD channel.
I think the biggest challenge could be that not everyone is experiencing the same issues because we all have different TV's, cables, Receivers, cable/satellite etc... how can there be a silver bullet to fix it??
I hope they can and it can be done by way of a software update!!!
