So, I'm watching the OSU/Missouri State game on Fox Sports Central. I only get these FSN channels on standard definition.
The thing is this is like unwatchable standard definition. The level of compression on this channel is unbelievable.
Someone needs to sue Comcast. They're claiming more HD channels yet their compressing both them and standard more and more everyday to get the bandwidth for more "high definition" channels. At what point does it stop becomming high definition? It seems to me these channels (HD and SD) are incredibly worse than they were just a year ago.
It really makes me wonder why anyone with Comcast would pay thousands for the best HDTV. If you're dealing with over-compressed signals does it really make any difference?
The good news is that ESPN still looks outstanding so I'm good to go tonight! :-)
I wish I could get Fios....
