Hey! can you ask them to take an original frame of their HD broadcast and compare it to a frame taken from the Cable's HD feed, and the Over the feed, and do a comparison???
I bet the cable's compression is insane... But I'd would be interesting to see exactly hat it was doing!
They do this internally, but you can check it for yourself as well. Just get a PC capture card that will capture both OTA and QAM. Then capture the same channel from each source and compare. Here in Tampa, Ch28 isn't recompressed that much, but other channels are.
