Format Examples
Screencaps of various downloadable formats. From poor to ridiculous quality. Most popular shows will come in only PDTV and up. Less popular in PDTV and down. A very small amount of shows come in 1080p, including none of mine. If I could get Went Miller in 1080p I'd have no hard drive space at all and I'd have a hard time keeping my tongue in my mouth.
