Consumerist is reporting that they're degrading HD quality to add more channels:

When you order Hi-Def TV, you expect it to be on the shining Excalibur level, but it looks like Comcast is degrading the quality of some HD channels in order to make room for more channels. To test this theory out, Avsforum member bfdtv recorded the same shows from the same channel at the same time on both Comcast Hi-Def and Fios TV. The left is the FiOs. The right is the Comcast. As you can see, the Comcast signal looks like crap. The forum threadhas more screenshots, a signal analysis, and some source videos. So far the Comcast channels receiving extra compression are: Discovery Channel, SciFi, USA, Food, NatGeo, UHD, A&E, HGTV, Starz, Cinemax, HBO, TLC, Animal Planet, Discovery HD Theater, and History HD.


I wonder what will happen when DirecTV and DishNetwork start dropping all those music channels and use that spectrum to deliver more HD. Hmmmmm...

In harry's life, at some dated, our inner fire goes out. It is then break asunder into passion by an encounter with another human being. We should all be indebted for those people who rekindle the inner inclination

I don't like the sound of all those lists he's making - it's like taking too divers notes at high school; you feel you've achieved something when you haven't.

I genuinely enjoyed the post. It proved to be Incredibly beneficial to me and I'm positive to all the commentators here!

Who in their right mind would have believed creating a mosque at ground zero would be sensible? I'm not really a great fan of either Glen Beck or Sarah Palin yet , as compared with Obama and his supremely stupid government, this couple are geniuses, get real Usa, there's some weird stuff going on. Babs.
