It is just as you say. It's happeniing everywhere on
DirecTV, Dish, all
the digital channels on cable systems and fiber systems as
well. Not
only the HD programs but SD as well, and it looks worse
there.
And it's not just in the US. I was in Germany this spring
and saw a Dish-like provider's signal on what I assume was
a 720p set at my German "parent's" (the family I stayed with
as a high school exchange student) house. On newscasts,
the anchors' hair looked painted on. Any movement showed
lots of mpeg artifacts. At my German "sister's" house,
they still have PAL and the picture looked a lot better.
I see the same stuff on my "home TV" which is actually a
Sony PVM-1910 hooked into a digital Comcast box, but on
an HD set the compression artifacts are all the more
pronounced. I guess the only option is to use George
Brown's method for increasing percieved resolution during
the NTSC field trials -- move the chairs farther back
from the screen.
