Makes some people look horrible.

Other than NFL and golf...I don't see the difference with regards to broadcast television.

I notice it when I watch the news, and every once in a while you see a reporter that looks very bad.

I like it.....especially while watching Hockey.

On VS????

I don't see a difference.

^most of my hockey is on the regional FSN channel here...........but occasionally on Versus as well.

I see a HUGE difference (on VS as well as FSN).........it's to the point where I have trouble watching it if it is not on an HD channel.

I have very good vision though........and I often find myself noticing things other people my age do not.

DMV...ya got it hooked up with HDMI cables?

yeah

can't watch SD anymore.... it frustrates me

^Me too. I find since I got the HDTV's I never leave the HD channels.

I need to get out more...

Hi Def detail of newscasters herpes lesions tend to unsettle my stomach.

But it is great for watching sports.

CE,

You forgot to tell us how big the screen is, and what you paid for it (was it a foreclosure or short sale).

I looked all over the Picture Post and don't see it yet.

What gives?

Actually the quality may depend on the size of the screen and the provider. And SD between providers can look very different. Dish and Direct have to dial back the bandwidth on the SD channels to be able to get enough bandwidth to support the HD channels. Dish got so bad on the SD it almost became unwatchable. I switched to FIOS two years ago and will never look back. Even the HD is better because they compress the signal a lot less then the others. BTW did you ever notice on the "to tell the truth" ads that DirecTV runs they don't include FIOS...there's a reason.

I've had verizon fios for 3 weeks now.

Already had to send a set top box back to them because it stopped working.

When I went to the ups store to send the broken box back, the clerk said he sees at least two of those boxes being sent back every DAY.

Guy at work has had fios for a year and sent one of his boxes back twice already.

I'm not noticing much difference between fios and Time Warner Cable's picture quality.

I had roadrunner high speed internet, too. Fios surfing speeds are similar, but the downloading speed is a little faster.

The kicker = NFL Network.

I have heard of the having trouble with the box issue but oddly enough I have 5 boxes in the house (2 HD DVRs,1 HD, and 2 standard) and haven't had to return any of them. I had roadrunner here in Buffalo and I gotta tell you the internet is MUCH faster. Perhaps it all depends on where you are located.

#13...That's because FIOS uses DTV for their signal.

I think that applies where only FIOS internet is avialable and then they offer a package with DTV for your television service. The way I understand it, some areas don't allow FIOS to provide TV service only internet service for some reason. I only know this because it was in question whether or not FIOS was going to be able to offer televsion service here for awhile but eventually got the approval they needed. But i see what your saying, Verizon and DTV must have some sort of agreement/affiliation.

i don't watch enough TV to give a chit or care that i don't give a chit.

your contribution ot the subject has been noted LOL
