When broadcast the use of compression will lower the quality, some channels more than others, as Dan Mills explained. If you have cable then it'll be compressed again. Set-top boxes can also vary in the quality of their decoding. In this case it appears the Sword Art Online and K-On where broadcast on ABC3 in Australia, which is 576i standard definition channel. You wouldn't have seen DVD or Blu-Ray quality even that's the media the station used. | |
| Jul 21, 2017 at 20:26 | comment | added | Dan Mills | Indeed, particularly in an age of statistically multiplexed digital telly, there is a vicious trade between the number of channels you can fit in a mux and the average bitrate you can allocate to each channel. If you are running a channel on a budget for a niche market, lower data rates can be very much worth while (Especially if your production values are less then stellar to begin with). | |

| Jul 21, 2017 at 1:24 | comment | added | Crow T Robot | @Memor-X In that point I'm talking more historically, there was a good 50 years between the invention of TV and home media, and even then everyone could tell the difference between a copy and the original broadcast. | |
| Jul 21, 2017 at 1:22 | comment | added | Memor-X | "it's clearly a better quality than you could buy the shows on to watch at home" in Australia i would disagree, Digital Free-to-air TV for Sword Art Online and K-On are lower quality than what i can get from DVD and Bluray and this is through set top box connected to HDMI set at 1080p | |
