Did people really read the article closely?...


It's not as bad as the article makes it out to be. I know everyone would rather have the higher quality picture, but really how often do you seriously watch those other HDTV channels other then when you first got your HDTV? Does anyone seriously watch those concerts they have on the HDTV demo channel?

Doesn't say what the compression was for ESPN or ESPN2, and a shame about DiscoveryHD and SciFi, but other then that, the majority of my HDTV watching is still on the local network TV feeds(fox/nbc/cbs/abc) which comcast can not recompress (due to licensing or some other agreement/law that escapes me).

Well in my area (Chicago), HD channels are more the norm than not. History Channel, TNT, TBS and Science channel are pretty much 90% of my viewing, and the broadcast networks you can always get OTA anyway without satellite or cable.

But yeah the movie channels are a big letdown not in HD-lite.h
