Overcompression is now at insane levels

I mean check out this screencap.
Look at just what Vince Carter(the one
dribbling the basketball) looks like. I don't understand how anyone could be happy with Dish's picture quality.
I have both Dish and analog cable, and my
analog cable has a billion times better picture quality than Dish standard def channels.

This is Digital quality? Crap is right. But people still pay high rates for it. Go figure!

Yes, I'm seeing that same crap too. Last night while watching the news on one of my local stations it was pixelating exactly like you show in your picture. My guess is that they are geering up for must carry and taking bandwidth away from other channels. Just a guess though.

When must carry begins and if local stations look like that, I will be dropping Dish. As some of you may know, I'm looking for any excuse to pick up 2 DirecTivo's. DirecTV channels may not look any better but at least the PVR will work correctly and superstations will no longer be a necessity.

How can you even tell which guy/thing is dribbling the ball? Goodness! That's AWFUL!

I've been experiencing a lot of blinkouts recently too. Hmmm...100% crystal clear digital, huh? I think that crystal needs to be washed.
