Re: I can see this being valuable in select circumstances..

DirecTV super-compresses their HD feed. Their $5 VOD HD rentals aren't even worth it from how crappy it looks with any minimal moving scene.

It can be 2160p, but if they compress the crap out of it and then uncompress it, it will still be 2160p of crap.
