:wtfsign:I agree and hate that they even have to do that. Ahhhhhhh!!! Problem is it does make some sense due to bandwidth limits but sure do hope this changes back in 2009. Just pisses me off since we were paying for the service to begin with and now it gets degraded. I think our bill should get degraded, too. :thumbup:

Is it even HD at that point?

Its always been compressed... if you want true HD get an amplified antenna. They are upgrading their system currently- I'd bet by 2010 it'll be fine.

wow - Im suprised someone had the availability to compare the 2 but its a pretty big difference.

I guess it just makes an easier switch to FiOS. I thought it was the stations that were the cause of some of the degridation... guess not.

(now Im going to watch comcast and notice more of the issues:mad: - I guarantee it)

I wonder if Verizon FiOS TV is real HD or not. I have noticed a huge difference since going to FiOS tv as far as quality goes.

Its always been compressed...

Yeah, but it's even worse now.

:(
