They just overcompress the crap out of it or use HD-Lite and the quality is worse that ever.

I remember when I was a kid and they came to convert the house from analog to digital. I took one look at the picture (I did a lot of web page stuff so I knew about compression artifacts) and said I'd rather have the analog back. The tech tried to tell me this was a superior picture so I showed him what happens to pictures when you digitize them.

Needless to say he was ruined after that lol.

One good thing I like about Digital, is after going from a 10 foot Analog Satellite (the kind that used to skew side to side to switch satellites) to our Mini-Dish, there was no more static.

I'd rather have the occasional blocky pixelization artifacts than to have to hear that static hissing "SHHHHHHHHH" sound and have static all over the screen.
