Universal HD is so commpressed that it looks horrible. It is nothing but blocks. It is unwatchable. Whether it is their fault or Comcast recommpressing it again it looks bad. They need to make sure that it looks better than this if they plan on charging anyone for it.
You would think that HD channels would have contracts for bitrate or something so that their channels dont look like crap.
Some of the TS streams I have seen on the net look fine to me and on my 46" Sharp, so I guess the problem lies with your cable provider.
Still, I may just pick up the HD DVD version of Galactica when it comes out (and heck, if they manage to actually release Season 2 & 3 too I won't cry.
