The comparison's a bit flawed in that the resolution has been bumped down and recompressed into jpeg. Still, he gets points for trying. DTV and E* aren't that dissimilar from each other but I'm really waiting for a good mpeg4 comparison once the service really gets rolling and they get more familiar with compressing their feeds. We're still early into the transition so I expect much more of an improvement in the next few years. My DirecTV HD channels are really starting to show their age now that I'm spoiled by HD-DVD.
