Re: Cox probably does this.

FoodTV used to be my favorite channel not just because I liked the content (who can refuse seeing food, seriously, it's the healthy alternative to eating), but because of the content quality. Honestly, the stuff used to pop on my 60" Samsung plasma.

I have indeed noticed a rather significant reduction in quality on all the HD channels. They seem to be increasing compression even more so on less-than-prime channels. Interestingly enough, they added SciFi channel in my area and promptly crippled it with compression so much that action in Stargate Atlantis was laughable with the artifacts. My jaw literally dropped when I saw the tiling. Unacceptable Comcast, unacceptable.

Bad choice of channels to compress, BTW, especially considering the viewership.
