Dish and Directv do it, . . .

Dish and DirecTv do it, why can't AT&T change HD into HD-Light?

They wouldn't need HD if they didn't over compress all the SD channels.

Re: Dish and Directv do it, . . .

Why don't they SEE THE LIGHT-- as in FIBER TO THE HOME??
it MUST be getting marginally cheaper than 2003/2004 days of 3-5k per home passed!

Besides, if I were at&t I'd only deploy in places where franchise rights have been locked up already, and use that as the carrot for other areas.. much like Verizon does. If they want to start small, PICK A FRIGGEN STATE and wire 100% of its territory with fiber, etc.. its not that big a deal, considering the revenue (aka profit) the company rakes in now..

Being a Dish customer, I've always wondered about their HD offerings (I only have SD).

Are the Dish compression artifacts supposed to look THAT much better in HD than in SD???!!! I'm thinking that soft blurry SD blotches might actually look better than sharp crisp HD blotches...
