Well you just go and sit in your studio and watch your test cards then.
What actually matters is the picture quality that people (don't) get in
their homes.


Here is a screenshot of a testcard from satellite:
ftp://panteltje.com/pub/testcard-2.png
So what is wrong?
767x576 png, how you have a monitor with that resolution ;-)

Now this picture travelled 40000 km.


Actually there is something wrong in that testcard due to 16:10 aspect
translation, here is the one from a normal 4:3 screen:
ftp://panteltje.com/pub/testcard.png

This one is 1:1 pixel for pixel as it is received, the previous one
was rescaled to 767x576, this one is as it comes in here in 720x576 PAL.
Now that is a lot better!
