HD trouble from Comcast; BSG fans alert!

[Jim3k]

According to this AP/Yahoo news item today, HD signals are being compressed so severely that they lose much of their definition when decompressed.

At least one BSG fan is not happy (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080421/ap_on_hi_te/compressed_hd;_ylt=AgeP3WUc3RAlZoEnKhrkcK.s0NUE) (but not ready to switch).

Wait until the compression is applied to live sports broadcasting. There will be big trouble.

Comcast's newer HD channels are ~12Mbps, while older ones are still 18 Mbps. SciFiHD is one of the newer ones, also it has problems unique to it.

Just last week, I had a door-hanger notice that FiOS is now available in my 'hood, W00T! Can't get an installation appointment fast enough, if you ask me.

Enjoy! It's a whole new world. :)

If you have any FiOS questions, or Verizon issues PM me.

BTW, I'm glad this issue has finally gotten some MSM attention.
