Re: What with fuzzy analog channels said by Titus Pullo:and their techs come out and say "mine looks that way too; that's just the way it is." I think the TV has a lot to do with it too. My first HDTV is a Mitsubishi 48" rear projection TV which supported 1080i. The analog channels looked like crap on that one.
I recently bought a 47" Westinghouse 720p LCD flat panel TV. The analog channels look great on that one.
On a related note, many of the Comcast technicians do not know how to properly set the resolution of the set top box output. For the silver Motorola boxes, you power off the box and press the "Menu" button. When my first TV was hooked to such a box, the tech had left it set to 480p when it was supposed to be set at 1080i and the resulting picture looked like garbage.

That's a pretty broad statement to make.

Ok, I've had 3 different Comcast accounts in 2 states. Each of these 3 situations required 3 installations. In 2 of these installations, the technician did not know how to set the box. In the first instance of this, I had to call Comcast to get another set of techs out to show me the trick for setting the resolution. The second time this happened, I showed the technician how to do it.
