576i - Interlaced scanning (Interlace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
576p - Progressive scanning (Progressive scan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
These are different method how picture is drawn/displayed on our
TV screen. Most TV's support only Interlaced scanning. But LCD/Plasma screens support both.
Progressive gives better picture quality
Hello SVK, thanks for that information.
But I also faced differences in the usage.
For e.g., I have have a favorite with UTV and NDTV.
In 576i -> I chose UTV thro' favorites. After 5 min, I press the down button, I get NDTV ( within the favorites )
In 576p -> I chose UTV tho' favorites. After info menu disappears, I press the down button. I get some other channel as the mode is already switched from "favorite" to "TV"
I tested this several times with same results. Did anybody else experience such differences???
