Time Warner in my area just did something to the line or compression or somegoddamnthing. All the broadcast and basic cable channels look like they need the antenna fixed (I grew up in the country with 5 channels, it was all about the antenna). While it's obviously an analog issue, digital isn't without it's own compression problems. Our digital channels artifact like a mofo. I think a little analog haze is a little better than artifacting because at least you can still see the picture instead of black blocks.
Miasma, I don't know how you can use stretch mode. It drives me nuts, especially when TNT-HD does an SD movie with only the sides stretched. It's like watching a movie in a funhouse mirror.

Saturday, Dec. 16 NYR vs TOR [National] HD
OTT vs BUF [Ottawa]
PIT vs MON [Que/Atl, no Nfld]
MIN vs VAN [National] 7 pm
7 pm
7 pm
10 pm
I got the Pit v Mon game and the Min v Van game, so that might explain it. Is there a separate HD channel for CBC, or is the same as the broadcast channel (99 on my cable system- very appropriate!).
CBC HD is a entirely different channel all together, but that's not saying much here since I have about 23 (seriously) different CBC feeds coming in on my Satellite. Only one is HD though. |

Grrrrr. I just get the regular analog feed.
I saw a bit of the Columbus v Detroit game in HD last night between MNF commercials. HOLY CRAP does hockey look good in HD.

Any advice on getting regular channels to look better?
Drop Comcast? What the commercials don't explain is that COMCASTIC is a synonym for ASSTASTIC. By the way, welcome to the club. You'll start wondering why your DVDs look worse than HD TV soon enough, then you'll be looking for that HDDVD or BRD player. |
Why am I homeless? Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

There is a decent chance I will dump Comcast next summer- as long as the dish of my choice offers NHL Center Ice, that is. By the time I moved into our new house this year, the NHL season was already in full swing and I had already paid for the package on Comcast.
I will probably go DirectTV for the NFL package, unless we end up getting Seahawks season tickets again (no point in paying for the package if I am only home for 1/2 the season!). I could probably heat my home for the winter on DISH network mailings...been in the house about 8 weeks now and I get something 2-3 times/week.
