As cable TV companies pack ever more HD channels into limited bandwidth, some owners of pricey plasma, projector and LCD TVs are complaining that they're not getting the high-def quality they paid for. They blame the increased signal compression being used to squeeze three digital HD signals into the bandwidth of one analog station.

I agree that this is not right, compressing HD is counter to what HD is all about: high resolution. In fairness, when its done correctly, it looks fine on slow moving action, but combine sub par compression and football and what a mess. I think i read that real HD is 19mbps and that these guys are getting down to 9mbps and lower. i resent the fact that instead of building infrastructure for more bandwidth we are trying to cram everything down a small pipe and call it HD.
