Re: Decrease in HD "Sharp"ness
I think we may be in business.
After hanging outside a bit, and coming back in, all of a sudden, Food HD has that pop again.
Perhaps the problem has been fixed!

Jeep. I Dunno bout' dat.
FoodHD looks BETTER, but HGTVHD looks the same. Still looks WORSE than it originally was. Maybe it's only the current program. I'll keep watching.

| said by JeepMatt  :KA- MHD has that pop again this morning as well. I think we're back. I was watching the Tudors on SHO HD last night and it looked very grainy.
BTW I also got around to watching LOST last evening. All I can say is WOW. Comcast's local HD feeds SUCK compared to this. |

2 edits | I'm off today-
And it looks like we're back to where we were last night. Something was switched again.
The grainy-ness is back...the sharpness is gone.
Grrrrr...
AND - even though they acknowledge the problem as of yesterday - apparently i'm the only who's actually opened a ticket regarding it.
SO - anyone else out there in PA / DE - please call in and open a ticket - or put a thread in the Direct forum here. |

2 edits | It's amazing.
I'm watching the same exact show this AM that was on Food HD last night - and the picture is much worse.
Can't get much better of a comparison than that!
Showtime HD looks like garbage.
I really hope they come through today and fix this.
Verizon! I have THIRTY people coming to a BBQ this weekend that will see FIOS TV...will they see a great picture that was back for a short time last night? Or the dull grainy one I have yet again today?
Hope you decide on the former! |

| Jeep, we are heading into a 3 day weekend.
What do you want to bet they will leave at 5PM tonight, and not give it another thought until Tuesday?? 
Another typical Fios TV weekend in Philly.

West Chester, PA | HD channels look ok to me at 4:30 PM - channel 3 (news), ESPN, ESPN2, DiscoveryHD all looking very good. FoodHD - I have seen better, but it might be the production not the broadcast. |

Nope, you're seeing it on Food.
It isn't affecting ALL channels. Stations like Food and HGTV HD you notice it the most b/c they are some of the channels that are sent at the highest HD resolution.

Trenton, NJ | I've also noticed a drop-off in picture quality. I noticed it first on the NBC evening news a few days ago.
Guess all that bandwidth went bye bye. |

| I gotta think that all this is happening for a reason. They're probably trying to install new equipment and are hitting problems. I have no doubt that it will clear up in the near future. Maybe trying to figure out how to offer HD VOD, or something like that? Although, to be honest, I haven't noticed much difference, if any. |

At the risk of presenting the obvious, are you sure that the program you are watching was recorded in true HD and not just an SD program upconverted and shown in the HD channel.
For example only the last couple of season's of Good Eats was recorded in HD, these shows look at lot nicer than the older seasons that they also play in Food HD.
I can't say that these shows show as pixalated, just a bit fuzzy/hazy when viewing them. If you are seeing pixalation then I would say that you are having a PQ issue.
Just my $.02 |

| Don't want to jinx it - but I think they've fixed the problem (for the 2nd time) at some point this afternoon.
I just sat down to watch some TV - and the HD's are all looking great again.
Definite improvement from this morning.

Trenton, NJ | News from Comcast regarding INHD2 and HBO today
In today's Trenton Times: HBO analog no longer will be available as analog station, Channel 18, and will only be available as a digital channel with the STB.
Also, on Nov. 15th INHD2 is going away. No word on what will replace it. |
