Is it just my signal or is anyone else's signal tonight on ESPN HD Bad? The Vanderbilt and South Carolina game looks horrible here on ESPN HD Channel 206.

It Looks like they are severely compressing the signal or something. ESPN HD looks terrible right now. Is this the kind of picture quality i'm paying for?

It was not your signal, the PQ was equally crappy on TWC as well.

It is probably due to poor lighting.

It looked like it was a HS game. Terrible lighting.

Some of us warned you that ESPN would still look like crap at times when it went MPEG4. ESPN is often crap, especially when it comes to college sports.

So when is DirecTv gonna fix ESPN? I plan to watch ESPN alot this season during college football games. Last nights South Carolina @ Vanderbilt game did look grainy and very Non HD Like. I wasn't happy when i tuned into the channel. Even the Sportscenter broadcast last night looked bad. We pay the most money for ESPN as a channel and it looks the worst in HD in my opinion.

Oops, I was watching 209 last night, not 206.

Are you guys seeing a picture difference between 206 and 209?
