Re: This is the primary reason I have yet to go HD said by RadioDoc:The difference is in the implementation. Comcast is notoriously bad. The difference between OTA and Comcast HD in my area (I get all of the Chicago OTAs perfectly) is astounding. Comcast shouldn't be able to call their crappy over-compressed, erratic video "HD". On this system it looks worse than what my $79 upconverting DVD player puts out. Finally some evidence about that. That means the ATSC-to-NTSC digital boxes will display crisp images to those old grannies on their old sets, and a few poor people too. Then when they get that "HD" service from Comcast, they'll be like, what, it's worse?!
And then there are the installers who "install" HD using composite or S-video connections because they forgot to bring the proper HD cables.  |

| Over the Air is the best quality you will find period.
Even on DirecTV they constantly change the bit stream (compression) on their movies. I had a website book marked that showed you which channels are being delivered at what stream but lost it in a drive crash. |
