VMAs just started (in Germany) and I have to say that this is the worst picture quality I have ever seen on TV!!!
What have they done? It looks like some bad internet stream with compression artefacts everywhere! (and NO, it's not my TV )
Has it been the same in the US or is this german MTV or the NTSC-PAL conversion?
Is this now the future? TV stations start to broadcast digitally but in worse quality than analog TV?
I am pissed!

Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

Must have missed that thread but I also just notized it for the first time on MTV (well I have seen it with videos before but not standard moderation)...
And I just remembered that the worst of all is EuroNews!

Just switched into that award show and you are right, that's an extremely blurry picture. Must be due to NTSC�PAL conversion in addition to their usual compress like mad habit.
Who's that blonde girl? She's kind of hot.

I think it's ironic that MTV has a "Video Music Award" show; however, they don't play music videos anymore unless you watch it at 5 AM...I miss the o'skoo days where it was ALL videos...

I see a lot of music videos on MTV. But they're all that rap and hip-hop ****. The only way to get real music videos is to watch headbangers ball or beavis & butthead

MTV blows so bad. I used to like it back in the day, when videos were still new and the channel had just started. Nowadays it is pure crap.
MTV is peddling porn for a bunch of teenagers with zits. It's all about the booty, drugs, shaking some fat asses in your faces, and stupid, unoriginal and mostly uninspiring videos. Hip Hop & R&B garbage has totally taken over the channel, and that's about all they play, when they do play an actual video, which is not too often.
If I wanna see some real booties, I'll just download some prOn from the net, and it won't come with a crap R&B soundtrack to go along with it.
People who actually like MTV must fall into one of these two categories:
(1) Wannabe pimps & gangstas
(2) Wannabe whores & bitches

fuse is cool in that it plays videos
it is not cool in that it gets in the way by adding stupid graphics and animations every chance it gets
also, most of their music video shows are gimics. such as they show 4 videos at 1 time or some stupid shyt like that

It's not the NTSC-PAL conversion it's the fact that MTV must be cheap and haven't paid for lots of bandwidth for the live stream's transatlantic jump. So instead of paying to send a low compression feed, MTV (and lots of other companies) decide to compress it like mad so it resembles a 'high quality' QT file. it really is disgraceful.
If you where also watching on Digital Satellite it's compounded by instead of using the extra space that Digital offers on the Satellite for higher quality pictures and sound the Astra people decided to use it to crush in more and more (crap) channels

And an even bigger joke, here in the uk we cant have the word **** or **** or ass, it gets 'skipped' out.
What is the point of a gangster rap (with a c) theme with no swear words.
FFS its 9pm here when it started?
Is it the same for you guys (the swearing i mean)

I've actually done a few edits for MTV videos, and yes, the list of things that must get bleeped out/silenced is not small. Some people do reverse edits, but I wouldn't recommend that with the "N" word, as it is still recognizable in both directions.
And what's up with blocking out any logo on t-shirts ?

I doubt that was an MTV UK decision.
The really silly censorship bull is always the US mothership (at least, it was back when I worked at VH-1).
