Mine through Dish Network and an off air antenna for NBC local HD VIP 722 DVR. and Time Warner Digital/HD cable through their standard Scientific Atlanta/Cisco DVR.I have noticed something, whenever there is fast motion like in a view or in a dissolve or add-in of the NBC logo, the pixillation becomes ridiculous, I can see it at 6 ft back from my 26" set. At first I thought it might be the compression that Dish added to the signal, but the 98% local NBC signal is no better. I checked some tapes of the 04 Olympics that I made using Hi8 and this DID NOT happen with NTSC. Well so much for progress.....
