Blu Ray Vs Sky/ Streaming


When watching a movie I always find Blu Ray much sharper in both picture and sound than streaming or downloading from Sky.  Blu Ray seems louder and much more punchy. A while back I watched a season of Game of thrones on Blu Ray and everything was crisp and sharp. We then watched another season on Sky HD, and the picture and sound was noticeably worse. I have my theory's but was wondering if any one could shed any light on this please.

My suspicions are that cable/satellite providers 'cheat' to cram more channels by reducing data rates.

That results in macroblocking and subpar picture/sound quality.
