February 10 Digital Quality!?If I hear one more person/ad say the phrase "Digital Quality", I may strangle someone. To be fair, this is in reference to digitally delivered television (i.e. Direct TV, Dish Network or Digital Cable). THEY want you to believe that TV delivered digitally is of amazing quality that blows away the former anolog systems. Rubbish! As they continue to try and squeeze bandwidth out of their systems and continue to compress their signals, the quality is actually getting worse. The sports networks seem to be the worst offenders. My local channels now look better with a pair of rabbit ears than they do deilvered digitally via Direct TV. I was an early adopter of HDTV and, in the beginning, the picture was amazing. Now, the picture quality has been dropping faster than new HDTV channels are being added. Granted, HDTV still looks better than most of the digital programming, but we're being forced to accept a fraction of the quality that HDTV is capable of. That sucks!
