You may be right. My father has HD via Comcast on two sets, a 42" plasma and a 52" LCD rear-projection system. Up-close they show much more artifacting than my OTA system, but at normal viewing distance they look fine. However, my screen is approximately 100", so there's a good chance the threshold for noticing the artifacts at normal viewing distance will be different. And I've seen plenty of complaints from DirecTV customers about their HD over-compression. I suspect I'll keep the OTA tuner wired to the system and switch to it whenever watching something live, most likely sporting events.
Football looks stunning on a 100" screen in HD. On Jan 15, 2007, at 3:39 PM, John Willkie wrote:
Since you are raving about the OTA signal quality, I'm willing to bet thatonce you see the "quality" of those same signals when delivered via satellite or cable, you will revert to antenna for OTA signals.
