Comment on Science behind the longest night’s (game of thrones) poor qualityparent

The internet.

I don't think there are sources other than streaming services.. So it's impossible that the quality would be better.

I was at a friends house and we had to wait until it finished being shown in the US and then we had to wait about 20 minutes before we could see it, I didn't ask which service it was through, but I do know that it wasn't an official one, could have been a torrent even. I could see people's faces in that version and didn't notice any banding. I then saw it again that evening, through my housemates paid account, which I think is NowTV, and couldn't see peoples faces and banding was everywhere.

I meant that the pirated version originates from some of the streaming services. I just downloaded the best version I could find (Amazon 1080p) and it didn't seem to be any better than the HBO streamed version, which I originally watched. To me the quality is just fine, but banding is visible in some scenes and I have to watch it in a dark room to see all the details.
