Re:Analog is better here. (Score 1)

I find the same problem for HD channels. Sure it's big and huge, and the resolution is better, but that can degrade quickly when it is so compressed. But the compression may not be all the cable companies fault. A lot satelite feeds are compressed to the point that the pictures looks horrible. I work for the local cable company, and can view the feed directly off the satelite, and it can still look bad.

But that being said, there is a limited amount of bandwidth and all the channels we expect to have take up a lot of space. HD is even worse, it eats up bandwidth and processing equipment.

But I shouldn't complain... I get it for free.
