I'd recommend writing a paragraph of nonsense, giving me rep, then submitting post.

You're right, it is pretty ironic that she refuses to wash.

That's there's no difference except for the station info?

If you can't see the difference you need to get your eyes checked

This comes straight from BTN

WEB-DL vs HDTV
So.. what's all the fuss about WEB-DLs, where do they actually come from? Why is HDTV inferior to WEB-DLs? I'll answer the most common questions in this topic and will guide you to the path of righteousness.

What are WEB-DLs?
To put it simply, WEB-DLs is paid content from iTunes with superior quality in all areas. Networks release them on a flat rate of $2.99 on the US iTunes Store, £2.49 in the UK iTunes Store and $3.49 in the Canadian iTunes Store. The content comes mainly from HDBits but there are also other trackers who have minor internal groups who work on releasing these to the world.

What's usually the delay on a WEB-DL in comparison to HDTV?
Obviously HDTV will always be released first as they're pre'd basically a few minutes after the episode finishes airing. The episode is usually available on iTunes about 6-8 hours after airing on network TV. After that, it's usually up to the uploader in question. In most cases, it's up within 24 hours of the airing date, but it's solely up to the uploader.

Why should I wait for WEB-DL?
Honestly, if you care about quality at all, you shouldn't have to ask this question at all, but I'm going to answer it. Scene quality is in almost all cases inferior to WEB-DL and the lesson here is that patience is a virtue.. I'll post some comparisons below so you can really see the big difference that is iTunes vs HDTV and you can see for yourself.

What are the differences?
WEB-DLs usually have better detail, less grain, less blurryness and better colors. They also have no network channels or any annoying bugs.

Screenshot comparisons
We'll be using the Compare Screenshots website. There might be different differences between web and HDTV based on what show and network the show is on, it can be everything from blurryness to grain that is corrected in the WEB. The original picture will always be the HDTV, and when you hover over the picture, it'll switch to the WEB-DL equivalent.

Rofl that is some funny stuff to read. Well its obvious that web-dl is better than scene but some of the other stuff there is kind of funny.

Web-dls do sometimes have better detail. Less grain means worse quality so having less grain is a bad thing. Less blurriness is kind of arbitrary, I have never seen anything that was "blurry" in a comparison. Web-dl almost always has worse colors because of apples encoding software which washes out all the colors.

Comparisons:

Breaking Bad- Web-dl wins
Two and a Half Men- HDTV wins
30 Rock- HDTV wins
TBBT- Web-dl Wins
Nikita- Web-dl Wins
Franklin and Bash- HDTV wins because web-dl has washed out colors
Gossip Girl- Web-dl wins
Flashpoint- Web-dl wins

Also anything FOX, except for cartoons, the HDTV broadcast will be better

If you can't see the difference you need to get your eyes checked

Perhaps but as I obviously have more real concerns than whether one "source's" colours are slightly more washed out than another one's then thankfully at least I don't have get my head checked.
Btw as for your "'expert" comparison I assure you with at least half of those shows nobody wins.

Rofl? Really ? I knew a guy that did that but we were in Kindergarden at the time so it seemed less retarded.
Slightly at least.

[hotshot6473]

Really cause it is just as juvenile to go around the forums "trying" to look smart and "trying" to insult people. Grow the fuck up
You compare at the start of the season and then you know what to download for the rest of it. Not that hard of a concept to understand

The web.dl has prettier trees, so I say the web.dl wins out on that one. Besides that, I have no idea what the fuck I'm looking at.
