<p>But this thread is about broadcast and not streaming. I'm getting about 2GBytes per hour from a Freeview HD tuner for BBC One. Your mileage will vary, especially on the commercial muxes where channel numbers seem to be more important than quality. Freeview uses stochastic compression to share variable compression rates between all the channels in real time. Your beautiful wildlife scenery panning shot might go lumpy if someone on the jewellery channel starts throwing glitter around.</p>

No reason to suppose they apply the same standard to their broadcasts I guess? </div></div></div>
